Here's the problem with trying to guess the cause of a person's skin problem on a chat board. If the OP does have an actual skin problem such as sebbohrea, using a scrub (exfoliating) product on her face is going to aggravate it. She might not have sebborhea, she could just have merely flaky skin, or she could have other skin problems... so why take a chance and play games with this?
I'm speaking as a person who played games with my skin and made my problem worse. As a teen, I had read "rinse your face in ice cold water to close pores..." - great idea, but not if you have rosacea. "Steam your skin to open pores and release toxins..." again, great, but not if you have rosacea. A little sun was great for drying up some acne, but sun is an aggravating factor in rosacea .... So now I have small broken veins all over my face on top of the usual rosacea redness... and if I had a few grand to burn, I could go and get a few laser treatments to remove them, but I don't have that kind of money. It would have been cheaper to see the dermatologist why back when, but hindsight is 20/20 right? So again, OP, don't play with your skin, have it checked out, and let us know what if its something like a skin condition or just some dry, flakey skin.
