I have a very dry skin so I only use water to rinse my face daily and a facial scrub once a week. It seems to work fine. Should I start using face cleanser?

I'd say the fact that your skin is very dry means that something is not working perfectly with your routine. I'd opt for a very gentle cleanser once per day, at night (a few options here: https://whatsinmyjar.com/search/cleansers/cleansers-for-sensitive-skin), drop the scrub (it might be making your skin dryness worse), and definitely use a moisturizer 2-3 times per day (plus sunscreen in the AM when going outside).

Thank you for the reply! I do use moisturizers but in the winter it's hard to find one that would be so efficient that the dryness disappears.

I'll definitely check the cleanser list! And I've already switched to a chemical peeling instead of a scrub. Hard to say if it makes a difference yet as I'm just starting.

Ditch the scrub for a while. Do you use moisturizer?

Yes, I do use moisturizer daily and SPF whenever I leave home.
