Help to choose a good moisturizer

Hi,
When we were in Northeast me too had the same problem.Eucerin body lotion or cream worked well for me...For the face I used olay....

I use the Mary Kay brand moisturizer. Love it. Keeps my face moisturized the entire day.

love,
Aarushi

Hi Aarushi,

where do u buy Mary Kay brand Moisturizers?

I tried Biotique Moisturizer, its too light, but it is good for India.

Planning to try a different brand this time as I am using Olay brand for too long, even my face darkens..Olay brand looks really oily, but not exactly moisturizing the skin.

Hi Priya,

Are you talking about face or body moisturizers?

Olay brand moisturizers( for face & body) come in different types for dry & combination/oily skins& sensitive skin & normal skins.
I have been using Olay for combo/oily skins ( for the face)...and it is really good. It is also oil free.

So far no probs and no outbursts too...so i am surprised that you have mentioned that it is oily!

They come in Olay complete & Olay total effects...both are very good...!

Cheers

Hi Cindhuja,

Me too have the problem of dry skin especially more on my face.So i use Eucerin for my face and Jergens for my body.Eucerin(fragrance free) works very well for my face . As i feel it is little bit oily and sticky i dont use it for my whole body as they r not as dried as my face.Jergens has nice fragrance and its semisolid nature makes it easy and quick to apply.

Hope this helps.

Hi Grace3,

My son also had the problems of dry skin like being itchy and skin turning pink and rough etc.especially on his face.So my pediatrician suggeted to use Eucerin which is working wonders for him.May be u can try it for your kid.

Hope this helps.

Appreciate your response Selvik. ; will look for it in the pharmacy here.

Not pretty convincing.

Do u peopel hav any suggestion.Plz do help me.....Thanks all...

Try Cetaphil Or Mustard oil or Johnson & Johnson lotion.

Thanks

dear friends,

oops, have i come into a wrong thread.............or a wrong person to discuss about moisturisers.............because i use nothing for my face only a few exercise for my face..........yes a very simple one.............may be this one will do wonders for your face with your regular moisturisers

rub your both hands five times.............and now massage gently in upwards direction 5 times and downwards direction 5 times in a circular motion, twice daily and see the results.......... you will feel that you are out of a beauty parlour.............these all are yogic techniques, which i had learnt in my yoga classes.....

hope it was an useful piece of information from me..................

love

Hi Grace,
I have been using aquaphore (its a petroleum jelly) for my sons during only winter.
It really helps the dry skin, though again it darkens the skin. Yet, there is no other options for me.

Regards.

Any suggestions for what to use for kids ?? Esp. around lips/nose area due to chilly winds, very dry & itchy she feels.
