“She has oily skin and prone to pimples. But, this winter, her skin is excessively dry. The lady applies an oinment “Acnicin Gel” to dry out acne. She asked if this gel was the reason of her skin drying out? Her skin even burns while applying moisturizer. She has already tried using vaseline and olive oil but to no effects.”
Frankly, I am entirely clueless regarding herΒ problem. It tried racking my brains too to find out if I had ever faced such a situation or anything. So, this is my explanation which might be wrong. I do hope you all will surely contribute remedies to this problem.
Hormonal Imbalances
The first reason I can attribute her dryness is to hormonal changes. The reason I am saying is that as the various phases of life pass by, our hormones change and that affects the entire health. This winter and even now, even I am experiencing extreme dryness. And, I do moisturize regularly, I am eating healthily but to be honest my routine was not as good till a month back so probably this is a butterfly effect of that health negligence routine.
Ointment
Since she asked that if the dryness is due to the ointment, I would say it is unlikely if you have been using it since years together as I am assuming you have. Otherwise, may be. That can easily be made out looking at the past history with the ointment.
How to take care of the skin burning?
Aloevera should be a good alternative to relieve the burning of the skin.
How to treat dry skin?
Now, using aloe causes skin to dry out even more so dryness becomes an issue again but guess what, aloe also improves the moisture levels of the skin. And, using a good moisturizer after a soothing application of aloevera should do the trick.

I believe she may be sensitive to the products that she is using and her skin might be reacting to it. Ask her to stop all kinds of cosmetics and products till the burning sensation stops.
Ask her to first drink lots of water and coconut water, also to apply coconut water to her face twice a day. it is full of minerals that will nourish the skin.
not go in the sun or expose her skin to direct sunlight till the sensitivity reduces.
Reason for her skin burning while using moisturizer or anything right now is because the outer layer seems to be exposed due to somethign she was using. till that layer heals, which will take a few days, she needs to stop all other treatments. including the acne ointment, if it’s too bad she should consult her dermatologist.
use extra virgin coconut oil, if it’s home made then even better. it will not cause any reaction to the skin.
