I also have very dry skin, I have had it almost all my life, and all my life I have been struggling with it.
Conventional creams help me only partially, I have to 3-4 times a day to dab my face, and I do not always have time for that, and time to carry a cream is not always very convenient.
I googled a lot of different moisturizers, but the best way to help me with this problem
tallow balm, at first I thought it was something strange, but it really helped me solve my problem.
Now my skin is nourished and not dry at all but quite normal, I'm very happy about that.
