BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Beauty Basics Dry Skin

Last winter had this awful effect on my skin, it is so dry despite the moisturizer i use day and night! What can I do?

Hi Dina,

If you're using moisturizer and your skin still feels dry, you might take a look at your diet and make sure you're getting the right nutrients. Here are a couple of articles from other BellaOnline editors that might also help:

Thanks for such lovely posts.

I apply body oil right after I shower. I'm using the one from Omorovicza which has a firming effects on the skin, too.

i use palmers shea butter or i mix lotion and baby oil together and slather it on my skin and it works. also aveeno oatmeal lotion work and use a moisturizing shower gel or soap.it's good to put lotions on when your skin is still damp thats what holds the moisture in.

I have a dry skin. Changes of seasons often leading to itchy skin, especially in spring. Doctors san it is hay fever.

eat foods that can help to improve this and use more moisturer!

Maybe you need the special care, besides the moisturer, you could use some moisturizing mask once a day!

Have you tried Udo's Oil? Reputed to be the perfect balance of essential fatty acids. I find two tablespoons a day, with food, makes quite a difference to my skin.

Thank you so much for all of the advice ladies! It seems as though the water is the problem. I will try something specialized. The problem is mainly in my face which makes it a bit harder to use the real heavy stuff.
