Dry Skin caused by BC?

[standard-circle.livejournal.com]

So I started taking Yaz in Dec, and soon after the skin on my face started to get dry and patchy. I switched to Cyclessa about 2 weeks ago hoping maybe the change of pill will make my skin get better. But alas, still dry. My only reasoning behind this is that I already have dry skin, and never had any problems with acne, but it seems all BC "helps acne", which whatever it is that helps that, must be drying out my face.

Has anyone else had this problem or know of any BC that doesn't cause problems like this? Or if not, know of any kick ass lotion?

Thanks again Vag-Pagers!

Maybe it's just because of the winter? I always get really dry skin when the temperature drops but I'm still using hot water.

That being said, I love Nivea, it's a really thick creme and it works wonders.

I live in florida :-/ no winter really. I did just spend a while in Ireland which was very wet, and I thought maybe that was the dfference, but FL is pretty humid.
