Dry Patches

maybe you shud try a moisturising mask… maybe try some heavy-duty cream to apply on those spots daily & every night

Maybe your skin has become too accustom to it and its time for a change as you have been using it for years..

nope i have been using the cream for years!
it is weird….
i dont exfoliate…
i have dryish skin

If u have dry skin u should never exfoliate daily, as it is too harsh for the skin, that is why facking is occuring, it is being over stimulated.
I would only exfoliate once a week, less often.
You might need to change to an extra nourshing cream for dry skin, the one that u are curently using may not be as effective for your skin type.

have you just recently started using the estee lauder daywear. perhaps you are having an allergic reaction to it.

Do you exfoliate daily? What is your skin type?
I`ve got a similar problem around my nose and forehead. I`m told I may be using the wrong products and should concentrate on combo skin products.

doesnt itch
and itisnt flakey
nor is it red!

It may be eczema. Is it itchy or flaking, does it flare up?
Other possibility is that you`re allergic to something that is applied there.

i am currently using estee lauder daywear plus for dry skin….
