Have you been out in the sun?
Try using hydromol or similar. I use it on my skin conditions as a moisturiser and alternative to soap. You can use it anywhere :)

I got this a lot and it was so itchy and red it wept. For it was regrowth if face hair. Now I shave everyday religiously and moisturise and problem has gone. Sometimes I moisturise twice.

I have very dry skin which got worse last year. I tried everything I could find, without any fragrance which I'm allergic to. I was prescribed several different moisturizers but the best one was Aveeno Cream. It helped the dry itchy forehead which had been driving me mad. It also helped everything else.

Thanks all, as I said been trying every thing , even this newish cara ve stuff , but as quick as the very dry skin started with the dry , warm weather it's gone with it , in normal weather ( raining and cold ) the cara ve works great , seems it's a weather based issue
