Drinking enough water
Can your skin go scaly/flakey if you dont drink enoguh water? Some parts of my face have been a bit dry and flakey recently, not sure if its due to the cold weather, but im not sure if drinking enough water has anything to do with it

Shouldn't be flaky if you wash your face in the mornings.
Yeh i know drinking water hydrates your skin, i drink loads during the day.

I do in the evenings, just not in the mornings since i rarely have enough time.
Hmmm that's strange. Do you have eczema?

I get really random patches of it from time to time, usually in my ears for some really strange reason!! Maybe i just naturally dry skin lol

Drinking water is fantastic for your skin. You could always try a bit of moisturiser - Vaseline is cheap and effective but very messy.
The danger with vaseline is that, due to it's greasy nature, it feeds spots. So if you're inclined to suffer from them, i'd steer clear of vaseline.
I too drink alot of water over the course of a day, I much prefer it to coke and other fizzy drinks. It's just an added bonus that it's good for you!

Could quite easily be the cold - I've noticed my skin being dry these last couple of weeks, so has my sister and another friend, Jane. I'm just stepping up my moisturising slightly and waiting for the summer

Try using E45 moisturiser (get it from Boots). Its a bit pricey but its an emollient(whatever that means!) with no added scents etc and its meant to be the best product that you can use for eczema.
Actually E45 contains lambswool products, which although treated to supposedly become hypoallergenic, can cause irritation in a lot of people (myself included).
I use Diprobase and Dermol (both on prescription, but I believe you can get them over the counter), which I recommend for dry skin, especially on the face.

Yes you can get it over the counter, at a price of £15 for the dispenser and not a lot cheaper for the tube, its good though.

Worth the cost imo for how well it relieves the symptoms. Though I don't pay nearly that on prescription, and I shouldn't imagine it would be too difficult to convince your Dr to give you one
Yes, drinking water would probably help your skin.
Also, try exfoliating once a week - it gets rid of dry, flaky skin (as long as it's not sore or 'open')
Try an E45 cream or Simple moisturiser also...
Something worth considering: could you be allergic to a certain food group perhaps? One of my friends found out she was allergic to dairy products when she started getting red patches of skin on her hands and face.
Worth talking to your GP about probably
Hope this helps...

£6.50 if you have it on prescription (thats if you pay for your prescriptions) At our ages most of us on tsr will get if free since we're in full time education.
Dont they only prescribe diprobase for eczema?
Mine's been dry too recently, it's because of the cold weather.
You should use St Ives Energising Moisturising Cream, I find it's brilliant. However if you've got greasy skin then don't use any moisturiser on the t-zone, because that would be asking for trouble with spots...only use moisturiser on the t-zone if the skin in that area is unbelievably dry and unbearable.

If you don't have serious eczema (we're talking blood here) it's probably not a good idea to go for any of the scarily-named products.
I used to get aqueous cream on prescription, but it's just a really good basic cream, with no worrying ingredients (although I have to say, I didn't check for lanolin [the stuff you get from wool] - but my skin is terrible and this stuff was great).
