Recommendations For A Good Moisturiser Required Please.

[ladybirder]

For the first time in my life the skin on my face has gone dry and flakey so I suppose I need a decent moisturiser. Any suggestions and thank you?

Night one.....Nivea Q night cream
Day one........Nivea day cream.

If you can afford Clarin's night and day then, that would be the answer.

[ladybirder]

Please thank Mrs Sqad for me. xx

Clarins it is. It'd better be good for the price.

[ladybirder]

On second thoughts I'll give the Nivea a try first and if that doesn't work the Clarins.

E45 moisturiser.

[smurfchops]

You can get Nivea at Poundland for £4. Well worth it. Nice and thick and creamy with no scent.

Aldi Lacura range is excellent and cheaper that a lot of the 'brand' names. I've used it for years

[ladybirder]

Danny thank you. I've got some of that somewhere.

Thanks Smurf but afraid I can't get to the shops as disabled so everything on-line for me. The bit of walking I do manage is to walk my dog and that is more important;-)

I second Danny with E45. Unscented and very good.
Nivea smells horrible.

[ladybirder]

I've found my E45 and it's on my face already. Thank you all. If this doesn't work I shall go through your suggestions again. xx

This one is supposed to be good, LB.

E45, is a good one too.

I saw an advert for E45 the other day and they were using it on the face.

As an aside...you should make sure that you wash your face with something suitable - anything that foams/lathers more than a little, is probably making the dryness worse.
As a bloke with dry skin, I use Aveeno bar and SebaMed bar ...both are soap-free. (OH likes them both, too).

[ladybirder]

Thanks Patsy, I like Aveeno stuff so another one to consider if the E45 doesn't work.

I do use soap and get up a good lather ginge, have always done so. I wonder if using that has suddenly become a reason for dry skin.

Elizabeth Arden moisturizing cream was recommended to me when I was trekking in the Himalayas. Bought a tube which was a tad pricey, but never had to use it.

As a guy with really dry skin and, for some reason, every Fall a transient outbreak of eczema on my back, I've been using "Eucerin: Complete Skin Care" for about 5 years. It's expensive, but worth it.

[pastafreak]

I use Cetaphil skin cleanser...its VERY gentle. I've not used any thing soap-based in ages.
