I have been using Nivea's in-shower moisturizer on my body and face. I wash my face with a little bit of baking soda made into a paste. I have extra sensitive skin and face wash breaks me out and dries my face. You can also put about a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a condiment container with some warm Water and spray your face with that. Sounds nasty but I swear it works on dry faces. Good luck finding something that works for you!

Congrats on your weight loss! Coconut oil, organic and unrefined, (usually the refined one is put under extra heat which kills off the benefits) the best thing you can do for dry skin is make sure whatever moisturizer you are using doesn't contain alcohol as it is naturally drying, you want as few ingredients as possible when it comes to your face. The skin on our face is different then the skin on our arms and legs etc, it's much more delicate.

At night have UR basic moisturizer and apply it heavily before going to sleep, make sure you massage your face as you apply gently, this helps with circulation. buying super expensive creams with all these claims aren't necessary, any benefits you have from them will usually cease to show once you discontinue use of the product. When you wake up in the morning, Always make sure you have a cream/moisturizer with atleast 15 SPF, anything more is a bonus but extra sunscreen can sometimes cause an oily appearance. Morning creams are more crucial because of the sunscreen. If you wear foundation with 15 SPF it should cover you if it is applied all over face and neck.

You can also take Vitamin A, it helps with free radicals and aging!

Best thing you can do for your face is making a habit of using sunscreen, staying hydrated, and getting good sleep everyday!

Okay I'm done lol best of luck!

Hi all. So, cold winter and losing weight is AGING my face. My skin is dry and now that my face is getting thinner -- well -- hello wrinkles. Any suggestions???

Also experiencing dry itchy skin all over from tough winter. Do you have a fave body lotion?

Thanks girls!!

I use pure Vitamin E lotion.

Coconut oil. I prefer cold pressed virgin coconut oil. I also use my Mia Clarisonic 4 -5 days a week to gently slough off any dead skin. Other than that I drink plenty of Water and NEVER, EVER go to bed with makeup on.

I am a big fan of CeraVe PM for my hands (it makes hives on my cheeks, but is amazing on my hands). @@CanyonBaby convinced me it was worth getting the tub of cream... I have only been using it for a couple of days but I will admit that the slightly crepey texture that was appearing on my hands and forearms is gone. CeraVe and Bio Oil are now my favorite body moisturizers.

My face is normal/oily so alternate between a retinol and Estee Lauder ANR. The combination keeps my skin pretty and balanced.

I, too, have oily facial skin, but I find the big tub of CeraVe cream works awesome on it. I know it's not made for the face, but I love it! I am SOOOO glad it is helping you, too...I imagine with the dryness of summer coming, I'm going to be swimming in this stuff!

I cannot say enough about Benefit's Total Moisture. It's pricey ($42), but it is GREAT for thirsty skin. A good, less-expensive alternative is the Ultra Repair Cream by First Aid Beauty.
