Hi, I am new to the forum and have some questions. About a month ago I got fed up with my dry flaky skin and was loaned Dr B's book. I took the quiz and was surprised at my score and my ultimate skin type. I had also been given a sample pack of Arbonne Skin Care products that I tried and had a horrible reaction to. My face stung, turned beet red, got hives then a day later began to peel as if I had been badly sunburned. I have purchased many of the products that Dr B recommended for my type and started using them 2 days ago. The redness is calming down as is the dryness, but I am still VERY flaky. I guess my question is, how do I get rid of the flakes/dry patches? She says to avoid all toners and scrubs so I'm not sure what to do. I have to admit that I am totally "skin care stupid" and never have done anything other than moisturize my face and use a little make-up. The products that I have used so far are:

Kiehl's Ultra Moisturiziung Cleansing Cream - in the am and pm
La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water
Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Plump Perfect Moisture Cream w/spf 30-in the am
Aveeno Positively Radiant Anti-Wrinkle Cream - in the pm

Please share any advice that you have!
Thanks!


My quiz "scores" are as follows:
o/d 15
s/r 35
p/n 32
w/t 65
