Dry skin problems, what would you recommend ?

A little less than recently, I have noticed a creeping up of dry spots on my skin: on my left middle back, my breasts, upper thigh, eyelids and behind my right ear. I've told my parents about the ongoing issue, but they are not very concerned. I believe it to be dried out skin or reallllyyy mild eczema. I use dove body wash for dry skin and an aveeno face wash and I just ran out of their lotion. I just want to know what you would recommend to help "repair" my skin . What would you recommend as a body wash, lotion, and face wash? Also, I'm 16 so I do need some acne fighter in that face wash. Thanks for reading all this and helping me out! :)

    Well what I do is right when I get out of the shower I apply moisturizer or lotion to all the dry areas I have (I mostly get dry skin around/on my nose) and that really helps because when you get out of a warm shower your pores are still open so putting on the lotion or whatever after allows your skin to soak up to moisture and help make it so it's soft and smooth.

    For recommendations, I'm not too sure. You could try some cocoa butter or some body butter because that stuff works wonders, but for my face I use Aveeno moisturizer. I'm not too sure about the face wash, though. D: Sorry!

    Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturizer. It has salicylic acid zits cure in it so it does not clot pores. I use the stuff from head to toe. I additionally use a couple of drops of Vitemin E Oil within the bathtub whilst my epidermis will get fairly dry. A well expholiating scrub works wonders too... When I get fairly dry (Like proper now) I take two tablespoons sugar, one million tablespoon salt, and ample lotion to kind a paste and use it within the bathe whilst I situation my hair. Rinse it off so you aren't getting left with a resedue. Works a allure!
