Does anyone else's skin get dry after washing their hair?

I always take a shower and wash my hair at the same time, so I guess the shampoo water sometimes gets in my face (since I'm standing up). After I finish taking a shower and washing my hair, my skin always feels really dry. Sometimes, it's so dry that I see flakes of dead skin cell on my face. I usually apply moisturizer to my face afterward. But I'm worried about whether I need to wash my face with a cleanser before using moisturizer. Does anyone else have the same problem?

Have you considered that it might be related to the water temperature instead?

try to avoid shampoo dripping down your face. tilt your head backwards a little bit when you rinse your hair. after you get out of the shower you want to put a cream on your face and lastly dry your hair.

Yeah, that's what I usually do. Unfortunately, shampoo water dripping onto my face is inevitable.

I think you should put a mask or a balm cleanser and let it sink on your face while shampooing your hair. Putting an occlusive layer such as a mask or a balm cleanser. Here are some recommandations. Plus, you should use lukewarm water on your body. Hot water is bad for the skin and it dries your skin even more.

Or maybe your shampoo contains ingredients that can dry out your skin. Sometimes fragrance or maybe strong active ingredient can make dry out the skin
