I have this problem from time to time. My skin gets dry most especially this time that it's almost december. the shift of weather is not good to my skin. I tried moisturizers. Do you have skin secrets that you usually do like what do you apply in the morning and evening before going to sleep ? Have suggested products ? Please advice. thanks!

I use 'cocoa butter' cream it keeps my skin looking good throughout all the seasons and it really is good stuff because it is natural. may be worth a try khassandra ! oh yeah and it smells really sweet too. I'm a guy but i love using it because its for real !

If it's related to the indoor atmosphere humidity, you can consider to buy a humidifier. This device will emitted air flows over a water container. Then the humidity in the room could be increased. Besides, if you know about pi-water, then you could buy a product which produce pi-water. This kind of water could keep your skin damped and invigorate the cells and reduce the dry skin problems. These are my suggestions on top of the skin care product that you use. Good luck and have a nice day!

I have dry skin as well this time of year. It gets very dry December through about April. I put Jergens, Vaseline Intensive Care, Keri Lotion, or Eucerin lotion on every night before bed. What really helps is putting baby oil on right after you shower when your skin is still damp.

apart from the moisturising cream i would like to suggest you to use the cream of the milk which you can apply on your skin leave for 30 mins and than wash it with soap.this is the best as a nutrition.

Try virgin coconut oil. Use the ones made with cold-process methods because this is supposed to have very low moisture content. It is water that leaves our skin feeling dry. Lotions or moisturizers work when you apply them because the water content will bloat the skin and this will expand. But when it evaporates, then the skin will shrink or contract and leave that wrinkled look. Quality VCO has high natural vitamin E content, as well as anti-oxidants. It will be absorbed by the skin instantly with no greasy feeling. Just make sure to rub it until it is fully absorbed. Find the ones with scents if you are not comfortable with coconut odor. I live in the Philippines and we have many retailers of VCO here.
