Sooooo... I normally have fairly dry skin, but ever since surgery, it's been ridiculous! I have to smother myself in lotion like three times a day now (I use gold bond eczema cream), but I will have scaly skin again after like... an hour.

Is this normal? I take biotin with my multivitamin. If it is normal, how long does it last? Or does it never go away?

Following this topic as I have ridiculously dry skin even pre-surgery.

I went through a dry skin phase, but went back to normal after a few months

I have been putting Bulletproof collagen powder in my coffee every day for about 6 months. I was skeptical about it helping my dry, flaky. crepey old lady skin but it has really helped a great deal. I still use Cetaphil daily but I see a huge difference in the appearance and feel of my skin. Best price I have found is at Sams.

I have dry skin also. I thought as long as I stay hydrated I would be okay. Part of it could be the dry indoors that we experience in winter. I have looked at collagen also, but wonder about calories?

I was wondering if it could be due to the decrease in consuming fats? Seems logical...?

Being dehydrated can do a number on your skin
