I want to SCREAM with frustration!!! PLEASE HELP

PLEASE suggest tips to repair my moisture barrier. My skin is SO SO SO dry and horribly flaky no matter how much moisturizer I apply. These pictures are immediately after applying tallow. I feel like a flaky, yucky monster 😭😭😭 I welcome any advice.

Current routine: Morning- hydrate with turmeric oil blend or tallow Midday- hydrate with turmeric oil blend or tallow Afternoon- wash face with lukewarm water, apply cream made with lice cream (as a cost effective ivermectin) and a plethora of hydrating/soothing/anti-inflammatory ingredients like aloe vera homemade by my husband. Allow to soak in, then hydrate with oil or tallow. Night- hydrate with turmeric oil or tallow.

I’m SO TIRED of putting all this shit on my face! It’s SOOOO much worse if I don’t do it, my skin becomes hard and crunchy and disgusting. But no matter how much I put, it hardly helps!
