That really sucks. Its always been so reliable. As far as moisturiser goes have you tried just plain shea butter, or shea butter + almond oil? Its been a while since I made my own moisuriser (I have very dry skin so I tend to just use almond oil now and I’ve forked out for a fancy face moisturiser that’s doing the trick) but you can buy shea butter in bulk, melt and mix with the oil to make it spreadable. I found it very plain and nice, but it is probably best for quite dry skin as its pretty heavy.
