Night Elf Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I'll admit I've never been into skin care products. I wash my face with just a wet cloth. I've got a couple of small dry patches of skin on my face which I've never had before. What's a good moisturizing cream or lotion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Coconut oil. Have you ever seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding? Coconut oil is my Windex. ;-) Really though, it's a nice moisturizer without any extra chemicals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I use coconut oil on occasion too. It's wonderful when your skin is really feeling dry. My favorite is jojoba oil (I use NOW Solutions jojoba oil). I've really noticed a difference in my skin since I've started using it. It's great under make-up and gives my skin a wonderful glow. Very cost-effective too, as a little bit goes a long way. I also love Derma-e's Vitamin A and Green Tea creme. That's what I was using before switching to jojoba oil, and I still use it occasionally when I want to switch things up a bit. Both of these products are all natural/chemical-free.

Lara in Colo Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I actually wash my face with my lotion, then I rinse it off. I use it to apply my make up and take it off. I use it as a lotion. I even use it in place of the expensive frizz/curl lotions for my hair It is not greasy. It is Cetaphil. But.... for my super dry hands I use Curel.

Debbi in Texas Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I like Origins Incredible Spreadable salt scrub to clean with and Drink-up intensive lotion. Smells great and feels great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngieW in Texas Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 My 14yo has very sensitive skin. The lotion she uses is Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion. http://www.amazon.com/Aveeno-Active-Naturals-Moisturizing-Lotion/dp/B001459IEE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1362873312&sr=8-1&keywords=aveeno+daily+moisturizing+lotion+face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I heard about CeraVe here. I love it: http://www.amazon.co...keywords=cerave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrookValley. Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Another coconut oil user here! Actually right now I'm using a blend of coconut oil and cocoa butter (the only two ingredients). It's great. I never get breakouts or flakey patches anymore, and my skin tone has evened out a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeeMommy Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Aubrey Organics Unscented Ultimate Moisturizing lotion, or Everyday Shea Moisturizing body lotion (a good deal because it's a big bottle for good price); both available from Swanson Vitamins online.

lavender's green Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I like Clinique Moisture Surge for my face. It's the only thing I've found so far that works for me in winter. I know a lot of people love coconut oil, but it totally does not work for me. It's greasy and mildly irritating on my skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheBrink Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I like Clinique Moisture Surge for my face. It's the only thing I've found so far that works for me in winter. I know a lot of people love coconut oil, but it totally does not work for me. It's greasy and mildly irritating on my skin. I agree. I love this moisturizer!

Lisbeth Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Abbey from NCIS looks young and hydrated for being in her 40s and uses baby oil every night, and stays out of the sun. Plain drugstore baby oil, which has the oil a lot of people swear against. Works for her. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn. Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 The only "beauty" product I buy, is Oil of Olay, original face and neck lotion. Best moisturizer ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Um_2_4 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Oil of Olay is what my Gma always used and at 75 she had skin like a baby...seriously butter...and she had fair skin/eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Dh puts Oil of Olay in my stocking every Christmas. It is my favorite face lotion. I use something with sunscreen after about March 15, when it runs out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I'm not good about skincare and I've just been using lotion lately. My latest is Eucerin Daily Protection and it does really well--not greasy but moisturizes very well. It's also unscented and has sunblock.

Night Elf Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Lots of responses. I'll start looking. I think I'll definitely try the coconut oil on my DH who has a big dry skin patch on his back. The Eucerin we have been using doesn't seem to be helping.

milovany Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I've been using Burt's Bees Radiance Day Cream for a few years now. I wanted to use something without chemicals, and had a hard time finding one that didn't feel weird. This one is smooth and creamy like the "good" moisturizers, with no harsh chemicals.

misty.warden Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I use A'kin Pure Emergency Gel, I have combination oily skin and it makes the dry areas hydrated but doesn't make the rest of my face oily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negin Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 My favorite is jojoba oil :iagree: I use Paula's Choice products, but absolutely love Jojoba Oil - under my eyes, on my face, and as a scalp treatment. Love, love, love it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 CeraVe is the best one I've found. I use the PM version. I don't like sunscreen in my lotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
