Five minutes before sitting down to write this, I was examining my face in the mirror and staring at the dry flakes peppered on both sides of my nostrils. It seems like no matter what I do when winter hits, my skin is drier than Coachella Valley in March, and no amount of products can quench its thirst. I've come to accept the fact that my face is prone to dryness and sensitivity, but it doesn't mean I've stopped looking for a solution. And, according to TikTok, there is one, and it's called "skin flooding."
