Regardless of your age or skin, if you are suffering from skin that is very dry to touch, you may also be noticing that your skin is becoming cracked in areas and this may also result in the skin actually bleeding.

One of the first things that you need to do is clearly to seek medical advice and proper treatments can then be given and used. You may be given some prescription based treatments and these may help in the short term with regards to preventing infection, but for a long term solution you need to be considering a facial routine that is organic based.

You will need to wash your face with a soap free product in order to remove any daily grime that your skin will collect. Keeping your skin hydrated with a gentle moisturizer is vital. You should not exfoliate your skin until you are confident that your skin has healed significantly otherwise this could cause problems.

At night you may want to use an additional night cream to help further replenish any lost moisture from your face.

Other points that you need to observe is that you need to avoid the sun and if you are to embark on the outdoors then you need to ensure that you are wearing a good sun block to your skin.

Try to avoid make up also as this too can dry the skin and cause further damage. Overall you need to be using products that will not aggravate your condition any further at all.
