Super dry skin?

I'm 2.5 weeks out and the skin on my face is so dry. My skin is extremely sensitive. Dr. Horacio called it "fancy skin". LOL I'd never heard it called that, but I guess it fits.

So, I'm limited on what I can put on it. Even Oil of Olay turns my face red instantly. Now that it has dried out so drastically, it seems even more sensitive. I used a moisturizer that had been okay before (though it turned me red, too) and it BURNED.

Right now, I'm using almond oil on my face and that feels pretty good.

ANYWAY, have any of you postops dealt with this dryness? Is it the lack of fat in my diet? Should I add avocados or something?
