What Causes Dry And Itchy Skin Around Nose After Using Face Cleanser?

I am 19, 5'2'', weigh 128, and I am not allergic to anything that I am aware of.About a month ago I bought Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Cleanser and I had been using it about 4 times a week or so but when I read that it can take makeup off I started using twice a day for about a week now and today I noticed dry and itchy skin around my nose (but not on it) close to my mouth, on my upper lip, my chin and forehead. This has never happened to me before I am very worried, how long will it last, am I allergic to these products?

Its not an allergy. It happens because in these specific areas the skin has a tendency to become more dry after face wash. Dont use the face wash in these areas. Or even better considering the dry winter season use a soap free cleanser like cetaphil cleansing lotion
