- Q why is the skin above my upper lip so dry and flaky? This is the only area that's like this. I have normal to dry skin and am 45 years old. I've tried all sorts of moisturizers and nothing works long term. Thank you.

Proper diagnosis of why the skin is dry and flaky must be done by a professional in person. Without a visual it's hard to say what may be the cause of it. I recommend you try applying Dr. Dan's CortiBalm or SBR Lipocream. Please feel free to contact me with any further questions. Best skin care wishes. Meagan, Esthetician
