Facial Moisturizers

I’ve had among the similar favourite facial moisturizers for some time now. (So most of the issues I am about to say are amongst my beauty empties, the issues that I’ve purchased many times.) I have a tendency to make use of Clinique’s Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion on common days, Bioelements Really Rich Moisture or ELEMIS on “dry days,” and CeraVe AM on mornings the place I really feel dry and wish sunscreen. Within the winter I generally add CoxRX’s Snail Mucin, which I really feel like helps all of my different merchandise sink in and cling. (I additionally generally use the Tatcha’s The Essence, which I really feel like opens up my pores higher for all of my skincare, together with the moisturizer.)

Hand/Physique Moisturizers

I have been journey or die with Curel’s Fragrance Free for a very long time now, and usually slather it on my legs, ft, and elbows after each bathe, and on my arms mainly each time after I wash my arms. For my arms, I’ve simply began utilizing the Gold Bond with retinol earlier than I am going to mattress, and I like that it is slightly little bit of a richer cream that I can nonetheless really feel within the mornings.

I additionally generally use an in-shower lotion, particularly if I am actually dry or must cowl a big space that I do not often do, like my again or hips. I believe proper now I’ve obtained Nivea’s in our bathe, however I’ve additionally used Curel’s in earlier years with out grievance. (I do not discover a slipping hazard once I use them, for what that is value.)

Lip Balms

I’ve robust opinions about lip balms! Virtually each evening I take advantage of the Caudalie lip gloss earlier than I am going to mattress. (Yikes, I can not discover it wherever besides Caudalie — good factor I stocked up the final time I used to be in France.) On nights the place I am coping with chapped lips or one thing else like a minimize or blemish close to my lips I will use Neosporin’s Overnight Renewal Therapy — I’ve sworn by it for years for assist with my sons and their extremely chapped lips (and that red rash that kids get). I additionally just like the Laneige or CNP lip masks if I desire a barely fancier self care expertise.

Different Moisturizers

A number of different random classes:

I’ve extraordinarily dry, delicate pores and skin, so right here’s what I take advantage of from November by way of March to keep away from changing into a husk of an individual.

Physique Moisturizers

The CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Cream is my #1. It’s not fancy, but it surely completely will get the job achieved. I coat my entire physique on this earlier than mattress each evening. It is available in a bath if you wish to purchase a bigger container, however I favor the squeeze bottle so I’m not sticking my entire hand into it. On days once I wish to really feel slightly fancier, I layer a physique oil excessive, like this one from Saltair.

A number of occasions every week, I put a few of The Ordinary’s Glycolic Acid toner on a cotton pad and swipe it over the soles of my ft earlier than I apply the Cerave cream. It’s not a moisturizer, but it surely helps shed among the dry, cracked pores and skin that builds up. If I’m feeling additional dry, I cowl my ft in Aquaphor and placed on some socks whereas it absorbs.

Hand Moisturizers

Currently, I’ve been actually liking Gold Bond. It absorbs rapidly and doesn’t have a powerful scent or go away me feeling greasy. I do splurge a bit on cuticle cream with the Dior Creme Abricot, however you solely want a tiny quantity, so a container lasts me a number of months.

Facial Moisturizers

I’ve dry pores and skin, however I’m liable to getting milia if I take advantage of lotions which can be too wealthy. Proper now, I’m alternating between Dieux’s Air Angel Gel Cream and good previous CeraVe. When issues are feeling notably dry and delicate, I additionally wish to cowl my entire face in La Roche-Posay Cicaplast balm and let it sink in earlier than mattress.

Lip Balm

Nothing beats Aquaphor, so far as I’m involved. I put this on my lips earlier than mattress and preserve a tube in all of my purses and coat pockets.

Kate’s Favourite Moisturizers

Facial Moisturizers

My longtime favourite from Neutrogena was discontinued (noooo!), and I am on my final bottle, so I am on the hunt for one thing new that is mild and at the very least SPF 15.

Hand Moisturizers

My arms get extraordinarily dry (and generally develop cracks and eczema, enjoyable!), so I’ve a heavy-duty product as my favourite. Eucerin’s Eczema Relief Cream makes an enormous distinction in soothing and moisturizing my dry arms, and it really works properly as a physique moisturizer too. And whereas I would not say the scent is nice, it fades rapidly.

My nails are fairly wholesome from spring by way of fall, however in winter, it is so irritating how they weaken and break actually simply. I admit I often do not bear in mind to make use of it, BUT I’ve had nice success previously with CND SolarOil. It incorporates jojoba oil and vitamin E, and if you happen to apply it often, it actually improves the situation of your nails and cuticles. (Word that it’s extremely oily — therefore the title — so do not anticipate to do a lot along with your arms for slightly time afterward.)

My previous standby is a bath of O’Keeffe’s Healthy Feet to deal with the significantly dry pores and skin on my heels in wintertime. This heavy-duty product works extraordinarily properly to moisturize and soften, and it is good to make use of proper earlier than mattress.

A brand new-to-me product I have been attempting is Soap & Glory’s Heel Genius cream, which can be very efficient on tremendous dry heels. Its substances embody macadamia oil, fruit acids, and soothing menthol. To me, the scent is simply “okay,” but it surely fades fairly rapidly.

Lip Balm

For chapped lips, my year-round favourite has been Vaseline for a few years, and I am certain I will be utilizing it for a lot of extra. I like the usual model, however I just lately purchased this “rosy lips” Vaseline lip product within the travel-size part of the grocery retailer (have not used it but). I am additionally a giant fan of Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balms — here’s my review from a couple of years in the past.
