Heres the main ideas (on the article, read it all please). Its very similar to what we've done but maybe theres an essential step we missed in curing this:
1. Use cool-tepid water only when washing and rinsing your face
2. Use a natural non-stripping face wash no more than twice daily (raw honey works great for this)
3. Pat your face dry, then spritz on rose water
4. Next apply a humectant like hyaluronic acid or glycerin (in concentration of no more than 10% or you will end up pulling moisture OUT of the skin)
5. Next, apply a linoleic rich facial oil like rose hip seed oil and gently massage it into the skin
6. You can then apply a skin protectant like a small amount of shea butter (unless you have oily skin then use a tiny amount of squalene mixed in your facial oil) to help hold in moisture that tries to escape
7. Occasionally mist your skin with rose water throughout the day
8. Drink plenty of water throughout the day
9. Make sure your environment has good humidity (I like to use this humidifier in my room at night)
10. Lead a healthy lifestyle
