I've always had combination skin but lately the dry patches on my skin have gone crazy. My cheeks are red and rough and I have dry flaky skin on both my cheeks and forehead. What can I use to make my skin nice and smooth again without causing break outs on my nose and chin?

I have tried a gentle exfoliator to get rid of the dry skin and a moisturizing mask. They have helped a bit but my skin is still really rough. Help!
