dry winter skin?

Question

I have really dry skin in the winter. My face is dry itchy and peeling. Can anyone suggest a good lotion for my face? I tend to have oily skin, and my oil free face lotion is not working so well during the winter. I need something that isn't heavy and absorbs quickly. Thanks!

Answer 1

Eucerin

Answer 2

Exfoliate and moisturize. For your body, normally some sort of sugar or salt scrub (which you can make at home using sugar/salt and pure olive oil) or a body brush. Both of these are most effect when used on dry skin, just before a shower. After the shower follow up with jojoba oil. It is the closest to the skins natural oil, and is absorbed more easily than lotions or creams. It can be found at health food stores, or ordered online. For your face, purchase an exfoliating scrub. NOT the apricot one that everyone is so fond of. That can damage your skin. Find a spa near you and see what brands they carry. They'll be more expensive, but they'll also be very effective and less likely to hurt your skin. Daily you should cleanse, tone, and moisturize w/ sunscreen. In the winter you might need to use products specifically formulated for dry skin, and a thicker moisturzer. Exfoliating should be done, for both body and face, 2-3 times a week.

Timewise Age-Fighting Moisturizer by Mary kay. It is the best! In the winter you may want to consider the norm/dry and in the warmer months use the comb/oily. Use with the 3 in 1 cleanser to cleanse exfoliate and tone your skin. They are formulated to work together for a better result. It is not heavy, it takes a pea size amount per application. Will help with the itchy, dry, peeling skin.

Answer 5

Im the same way, my room mates joke that when i come out of the shower if i don't lotion up fast enough i may peel like a snake. I use Suave Aloe Vera lotion, its cheap, it comes in a huge bottle, and it works. I put it on after my shower, and before bed at night, it is ok to use on your face, because its not at all oily, I love the stuff, and like i said its super cheap... also it doesn't smell like anything so it doesn't interact with any perfumes i put on after that....

Answer 6

Honey, I have the same problem and what I use is Mary Kay Time Wise Age-Fighting Moisturizer. It is for combination to oily skin, and suitable for sensitive skin. and it is oil and fragrance free. Wonderful product and leaves my skin SOFT! I can even give you an e-mail to order the product! If you are interested. If not, don't worry. But it does make you feel beautiful! Oh, and it is not just for aging skin. It helps with it, but is not just for it. lol

Answer 7

I use Ponds Moisturizing Cream at night. It's a thick cream but not very heavy. This helps my face and actually smooth me out quite a bit. If you use this at night and then your oif free lotion in the morning/day this should help.

Answer 8

Try original curel in the blue bottle, it's a bit spendy but worth it. If your skin is still dry add 1/4 glycerin (you get this in the bandage section of your local drug store) to 3/4 curel. I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results, no more itching dry flakes!!!!

Answer 9

Use some baby lotion. If you`re near adulthood, then you should go for the baby lotion for adults (that sounded weird). Baby lotion really works for me (especially since I have bad skin).

Answer 10

I like Burts Bees milk and honey body lotion, it's good for the face too.
