Guest guest Posted December 28, 2000 Report Share Posted December 28, 2000 Please, can some one let me know how to use the Vita Oil on my face? I am on a 40 mg. daily accutane tx and my skin is extremely dry and scaly. Whenever I try to use any kind of moisturizer lotion my skin reacts very badly: redness, itching, bumps, etc. I am thinking in using the Vita Oil as a way to moisturize my skin. Do you think that this oil can work for such a purpose? Enrique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 1, 2001 Report Share Posted January 1, 2001 Enrique, The only way to find out if Vita-Oil (or any other oil) will work for you, is to try it. Start with a trial size and give it a try. I believe your skin is so dry and sensitive right now that moisturizing lotions which usually have many ingredients, are irritating your skin. The role of an oil on dry irritated skin is to create a barrier to trap water on the skin. Oils usually have few ingredients and do not have irritating preservative system. However, certain oils are better than others. The best way to use an oil is to apply it on wet skin; then gently pat dry. Once the epidermal barrier is restored, then your skin will be able to tolerate a moisturizing lotion. At this point, you can add the lotion.
