I am a African American woman with rather pretty nice skin but lately I would wake up in the morning & I would have dry patches on my cheeks like under the eyes & on my eyelids & my face would feel very tight & when I blink it would also feel right the patches don t itch but instead burn a little
Redness ,irritation and scaling over the face could be suggestive of a mild allergic reaction over the face . Such a skin reaction can occur due tip the creams or cosmetics applied over the face or could be due to any irritant face cleansers . Avoid application of agents like dettol over face . Use a moisturiser regularly. Use a medicated sunscreen with spf more than 26 regularly before going out in the sun .Apply it atleast thirty minutes before going out and re apply every three hourly Hope it helps
