How long will it take to.........

[Guest guest]

before I complete ths question, I need to clarify slightly. My rosacea consists

of a highly compromised epidermal barrier. It seems that the inflammation from

rosacea or whatever lurks beneath the surface of my skin has completely upset

this upper layer. Right now, my skin just cannot maintain its moisture. Most

cremes just irritate the skin and I have to splash them off my skin. The only

thing which seems to help is DR. Sy's moisturizing oil. Although the vita-oil is

very soothing, it does not do anything for the flaking. And the question is, if

I am to keep the upper layers of my skin sufficiently lubricated to allow it to

heal itself, what do you think would be an adequate time frame. I have no idea

if any of this makes any sense but I do know that my skin is just the weirdest.

I do not have any redness or pimples or bumps but my skin seems to be getting

flakier and oilier. When I do follow the usual advise for seb , it gets very

flaky, even flakier than normal and very irritated. Even slightly red.

Would appreciate your input.thanks all
