Hi
You seem to be having dry skin as you may still be using products like face wash etc for acne prone skin. Please change your face wash to a ph balanced face wash for dry to normal skin. also start using a good moisturiser lotion containing hyaluronic acid which can soothe the skin and reduce redness and dryness. Also use a lotion based sunscreen twice a day. Frequently washing face is not advice. Please include lots of fish and almonds in your diet.
if redness or dryness persists or increases you may need to see a dermatologist to rule out rosacea.
