Face lotion for extremely dry skin

[yellowbrkrd]

I'm not sure if it's this pregnancy or the weather around here because others have complained about dry skin as well. Either way, my usual Cerave PM lotion isn't doing the trick anymore.

Anybody have any recs for face lotion? I'd prefer not to spend a fortune.

Not a moisturizer but since I've started using this I haven't even needed it, which is unheard of for me this time of year.

Do you just put this on after you get out of the shower?

Hm, I use this on the rest of my body but never thought of trying it on my face. LOL

Clinique moisture surge intense (just plain moisture surge isn't strong enough for extra dry skin). It's amazing and your skin will thank you. Your wallet may not. It's kind of $$$.

Cetaphil cream (in the jar)

Ditto this.  Fabulous.  They may have a coupon on their website too.

I love First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. They're having 30% off on their website right now. You can also get it at Sephora.

I always use Cerave cream when I get really dry. I also use a gentle face wash. I use coconut oil as primer under my makeup and that helps, too.

I use Clinique super defense for extra dry skin in the winter. It's thick and a little goes a long way on my dry skin in the Canadian winter.

I just put it on a cotton ball and use it morning and night.

Cerave is a my favorite. The PM version is heavy duty but does not feel heavy or greasy.

This or the Cerave in the jar. I used it on my face and body all last winter when I was pregnant. Also, if you don't have oily skin, skip washing your face in the morning (assuming you cleaned it well at night). I just let it get wet in the shower to get the night gunk out of my eyes, but don't use a cleanser. The overnight oils are good for dryness. Then I put on my daytime SPF lotion as usual. My face has never been dry since I learned about that.

Derp.  I misread the person I quoted; I meant CeraVe in the jar is fabulous!  With coupon, even better.  I like Cetaphil too and have used it in the past, but am now a CeraVe convert.

Ditto. It's super thick, so it may be hard to use in the am, but I'd slather it on before bedtime.

For daytime, I like cliniques dramatically different lotion.
