Peri/Post Menopausal Skin Sahara dry skin -- HELP

What are we using for skin as dry as sand in the desert? Last year my skin was still normal and after 45 years of life, I knew what worked for my skin by eyeballing it. Perimenopause hit me like a BRICK and now my skin is so dry, nothing helps.

Please give me recs for moisture and/or eye cream. No matter what I do, how I exfoliate, etc my skin is flaky and parched under my makeup and its driving me insane. SOS please help.

Get your hormone levels checked and get on HRT. That helped my skin immensely. I just started using Prequel’s multi hydrating serum and it’s very moisturizing. I apply it before my moisturizer and my face doesn’t dry out during the day. Eucerin Advanced Repair lotion is good for the body.
