Phi-When I don't moisturizers my skin will stay dry.

It has been going on for almost 3 years now.

It does get worse if I do nothing. I have tried exfoliating that area and it will start drying up and flake after a day.

That area of skin is between the medial canthus and the bridge of nose. Not sure if there is a specific name for it - some facies are described as having a wide nasal bridge, or a wide intercanthic distance. If you want to give it a name... maybe call it the nasocanthic interval or something to that effect.

ok I will to search those names to see if anyone is having that problem in the same area.

Phi..I have tried a light lotion and heavy lotion without fragrance. It does not last about an hour before I can see my skin start to get flaky.

Lyudmilascience..I am hoping that someone out there possibly knows a reason why this non specific area dries out like that.

After the lotion wears off my skins gets flaky and dry.

Thanks Phi! I mostly drink water all day. Its very odd that it is only on one side. I've tried exfoliating with face wash and using cetaphil lotion for sensitive skin. It works temporarily but it comes right back which makes me think its more of a rash then dry skin, possibly?

Thanks for your response. I am looking for the name of it on the outside of the skin. I have dry skin or maybe even a rash but I am trying to identify that specific area so I can do some additional research.

I have seen a lot of face and nose anatomy but I still cannot find the proper name for this area of the face between the eye and nose. Here is a picture I hope this helps. Thanks in advance!
