Dry Blotchy Face

Does anyone have any idea why my face has suddenly gone blotchy red, very dry and a little painful when the moisturiser goes on.

I'm maybe not drinking quite enough water...but I don't think enough less to cause this.

I'm eating high raw, but did have some bread today...could that have such a severe effect??

nothing else has changed. I'm not eating any nuts apart from 4 brazil nuts yesturday...lots of sprouts and some sunflower and pumpkin seeds, loads of salads...

G smoothies..

any suggestions would be appreciated...I'm figuring maybe slight dehydration and some detox...

I had a salt and bicarb bath this AM...didn't put my face in it though.

Thanks in advance

    Having an avocado a day seems to help my skin and I have to live through crazy dry winters in Calgary, CANADA! I also found that when I stopped using any type of commercial face cleanser that my face improved as well.

  • Thanks everyone...

    I don't wear makeup...so it's not that..

    I haven't used soap for quite a while...

    I have been eating avocados every day except the last few...

    I'm in london, so it's pretty gritty here, but have been here for a few months..There is central heating, maybe my body just decided it has had enoughof that..I've never had central heating before

    I'll definately try some honey tomorow and use coconut oil tonight. I have been using 99% Aloe the last couple of days...I wouldn't think that would react with my skin as it is supposed to be so amazing, but it has happened since then! Has anyone else have a reaction to aloe?

    I've also been using an aloe and propolis mousturiser...If it's the aloe, then maybe it's not helping at all!

    I'll try all the changes and let you know in a week or so..

  • bit late...my face cleared up. Maybe just an infection!

    I'm cycling europe now and feeling pretty amazing. Skin good, ody strong.

     

  • THIS! Times a million! I tried so many different techniques to fix this problem on my face and THIS was the only one that worked for me, and worked outstandingly I might add. Granted, the dried honey feels a little weird, and its difficult to avoid getting stuck on your pillow if you sleep on your side, but its totally worth it. Also, I had to do it for three weeks straight in order to clear my face...maybe my skin just isn't as self-rejuvinating as yours, but yeah...stick with it! Thanks so much for the great advice.
