Exfoliator and Moisturizer Recommendation?

I have super dry skin and the recent weather is making it even worse. My forehead is peeling really badly and I haven't been able to find a moisturizer that works well enough! I've tried the Cetaphil Daily Moisturizer for extra dry skin but I feel like it soaks in too quickly. I would love some recommendations for an exfoliator and/or moisturizer. I would prefer more affordable if possible. Thanks!

    It could be that your exfoliater is the cause of your dry skin. Harsh chemicals can cause any type of reaction depending on your skin type. Use less chemicals and lean towards naturals such as brand name Simple or nuetrogena naturals. There's also Vaseline, works best with dry skin. Fun Fact, most lip moisturizer ingredient includes Vaseline.

    Unlike what someone recommended DO NOT use coconut oil it clogs your pores but if you do want to use an oil try jojoba oil it doesn’t clog pores. And for exfoliators don’t use physical exfoliaters as they can cause Mirco cuts in the skin instead use chemical exfoliators like glycolic acid check out the pixi line they have lots of great products with glycolic acid

    Use coconut oil and extra virgin olive oil.

    Mix sugar with extra virgin olive oil until you get the texture of wet sand. Use this to exfoliate. If this is too harsh, use baking soda and water.

    You can also use coconut oil to moisturize. I use this all over. I don't use it on my face, it clogs my pores (I have oily skin), but I use it as lotion and chapstick and its fantastic.
