Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I understand that you are having dry skin.
It could be secondary to the thyroid problem which you have.
Use a good moisturizer containing colloidal oatmeal like Aveeno.
Bathe with lukewarm water as hot water will strip away the oils form the skin.
Use a soap free cleansing liquid like Cetaphil for bathing.
Apply moisturizer within 3 minutes of bath so as to trap the moisture and repeat often.
Avoid chemical peels as they tend to make the face drier.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
