I have used Moleskin on the bridge of my nose. A synthetic product, with adhesive on one side, and soft furry on the other, in the foot section of pharmacies and grocery stores. Comes on a rectangle that you can cut to fit with scissors.

I have used a routine of taking a clean cotton wash rag, and vigorously rubbing my face in the morning. While my face is wet, put on it, "Gold Bond Diabetes Dry Skin Relief Lotion". I found this through my diabetes educator, and it is really the best for skin I have ever seen. I can guess this stuff is not good for silicon, but I can wash my face, hours later, when I am crashing out.

Hydration is not just from the top of skin it is from the inside. Review whether you are drinking enough water every day. Good skin also seems to be on people who frequently eat brightly colored, non-starchy, non-sugary vegetables.

Padacheek, AKA Karen is, from my own experience, a knowledgeable trusted retailer. She is well known on the forum as being honest, trustworthy in her business dealings, and helpful when you have issues. I have no affiliation with her or her company. Hi Karen.

Thanks, Sheriff
