I think that is face dandruff. I went to the dermatologist and she presecribed a topical medication and it went away.

I would use baking soda and water to remove the dead skin.

Gentle exfoliation might help. I make a paste of rice Bran powder and a liquid (usually rosewater). It is mild enough for me to use every day but is effective for smoothing my skin without irritation.

put apple cider vinegar in a small bottle. After you cleanse your face .Put some on a cotton ball and use as a toner all over your face . Do not get into eyes [after all it is vinegar . This is natural [I know it doesn't smell great]and it gently exfoliates and makes your skin very smooth . I understand Scarlett Johansen [who has a beautiful complexion ] uses it every nite , Give it a try , I like using it.

I use a Wonder Cloth. You can buy them at BB&B or Amazon. I've used one for at least ten years and think they're great. I just wash my face with cleanser and then use the Wonder Cloth. It keeps my face nice and smooth. I can't use retinol or other types of exfoliating products either. This is perfect. Just make sure you don't use fabric softener with them.

Use slight pressure in small, circular motions, never dragging it across or pulling your skin.
I find it also helps if the washcloth is just a little bit rougher in texture, not the super soft, fluffy type.
Thank you! I'll try that!

I am seeing lately little tiny white -- for lack of a better description - flakes of skin on my face. Seems to be happening with the cold weather, use of more home heating or something! Any how, how do you handle this? I don't know how much it shows in real dimension but I DO know that makeup application does not look very smooth no matter what kind I use. I do use moisturizer faithfhfully. I can't use anything terribly heavy to moisturize as it clogs my pores and makes me break out.
I am wondering --- are the flakes because I need some type of exfoliation? I have such sensitive skin that I cannot use those retonol (sp) products or scrubs. Any suggestions of what I could do? It's like the moisturizers,etc. Iam using are just laying on the top of my skin and not penetrating. I think I need some type of sloughing.
Is there a type of gentle cleansing cloth or toner, or what about those little rubber scrubby things -- would that all be too harsh?
If any suggestions for products, I cannot use anything with fragrance.
I would be so appreciative of suggestions!!!! Thanks!
@AngelPuppy1 Don't use regular soap on your face. Cetafil is best. I would put argon oil on at least at night. Good Luck You can get Cetafil anywhere. My Dermatologist told me to use it. I found it at Walamart. Loreal also has a good selections of creams.
I haven't used soap in eons. I use very gentle products as my skin is very reactve and sensiive. Thanks very much for your post!!

@AngelPuppy1What you are using for a face wash could be part of the problem with those dry flakes this time of year. Just a few suggestions you might want to take into consideration. After you cleanse use a natural toner like Heritage Rose Water which is very calming & hydrating. A excellent super light exfoliation is Tatcha's Rice Polish for dry or sensitive skin. You might also consider a hydrating Essence, I use Tatcha & it lasts a long time so imo some products are worth the price. I stopped using wash cloths & makeup wipes. I do a double cleanse when I wear makeup with a cleansing oil & a lighter facewash. Also when you skin is back to normal, you might want to consider using argan, Marula, or Rosehip Oil to seal in your moisturizer at night. Good Luck!
