Moisturizer for Dry Skin?

Kitty1225 · December 2009

Hi,

So I have dry skin in the winter. I use a hydrating cleanser that is supposed to hydrate well enough that a moisturizer is not needed, but I need it since its winter.

What do you use? I have cetaphil at home. It makes my skin very oily if I use it during the day, so I dont know what to use.

I also have acne prone skin too and very sensitive skin.

Any recs?

thanks

Jenn

If you're talking just face, I like Dove but have been using Aveda acne creme (forget what it's called). For general body parts, I use whatever's handy - right now I have a ton of B&BW stuff I want to finish off before buying more.

I use some sort of Olay moisturizer, but my suggestion is to mix in a drop of jojoba oil with any lightweight moisturizer in the winter.

I like Clinique... they have and oil free gel version too.

I use Nivea hand cream and its worked the best so far for the money.

EDIT: okay, for your face.... ahhhhh. I recently started using Neutrogena (i don't know exactly what kind, but is in a white pump bottle and its got spf 20 i think)

For my face...sorry I didnt mention before!

On the advice of TCT, I started cleansing with oil. I was so skeptical b/c I have oily skin. But now I use baby oil for cleaning and follow up with my favorite Oil of Olay moinsturizer. I really love my soft, radiant complexion.

i only use natural stuff so i use [from heaviest to lightest]:

olive oil

argan oil

sunflower oil

safflower oil

coconut oil -this one feels the best on and dries quickly

my skin has improved so much since using natural products. i also only use one of the first 3 to condition my hair [less than a teaspoon full] and it has never felt better.

I wanted to thank you for your power of persuasion in oil cleansing. I am so glad it worked.

I am absolutely in love with Burt's Bees day radiance cream. My skin is so soft, even in the dry, winter Colorado air. I am prone to breakouts/combo skin and haven't had any issues with this moisturizer at all.

I really like the Daily Radiance Cream from the Body Shop. That really worked with my skin and didn't make me break out. A tub of it lasted me a while, too.

Aveno daily moisturizer or Philosophy's Hope in a jar.

I work outside by salt water and my skin gets super dry and these work great.

i'm glad it worked for you, too! i always worry that i sound pushy or repetitive but i feel like enough people haven't tried using natural stuff and i want to tell them.

I developed dry, flaky patches with redness around them. Not acne, but just... red flaky. The only thing that I've found to treat it and not make the rest of my face break out is Aveeno Ultra-Calming daily moisturizer.
