Is this normal?

Hi folks

I never used to moisturise my body, just my face & neck/décolletage but since turning 30 I made it part of my shower routine to either baby oil or moisturise my whole body whilst my skins still damp.

So I had a pretty bad virus last week & as gross as it was I didn’t shower for 4 days as I just couldn’t summon the energy, by day 3 I noticed the skin on my neck, chest, arms, everywhere! Felt dry & had that white chalky sort of dry layer that got worse if I scratched my skin.

I’m kinda worried now that I’ve trained my skin to not produce as much of its own natural oils as I’m smothering it in moisturiser every day! Should I cut down to once every couple days or twice a week? Anyone else experienced this?

Any advice/info appreciated, thanks all
