My face was dry, so I didn't wash my face for years

although the dryness has gone

now I have a lot of dead skin cells and keratin

in my forehead I see what it looks similar to bricks on the wall side by side

I think this is keratin

search google image
bricks walls

the pictures of bricks on walls are similar to what I see on face, but of course with different materials

I couldn't see the bricks like on the skin before when I was washing my face

I use salicylic acid cream, glycolic acid cream, sulfur cream, allantoin, tretinoin solution

but they are not strong enough

I want to buy PMD microderm but I don't have enough money

will using clay mask remove dead skin cells and keratin ?

Okay if you are using salicylic acid and glycolic then these will act as exfoliators and you really don’t need to use anything else. PMD microderm may do more harm than good. Instead why not try facial brushing. You can use a toothbrush if you like to exfoliate the skin and encourage the cells to turn over.

Clay masks don’t remove dead skin cells but help to dry out excess oil production. Instead try dry brushing, you may go very red in the beginning because the blood rushes to the surface, but this is a good sign.

Go for a course of micro-dermabrasion at the spa or doctor's office.

It's best to remove it gently and slowly without harming the skin. Healthy skin is the most important thing.
