I swear the very moment the calendar jumps from October 31 to November 1, my skin is suddenly dry, cracked, and begging for mercy. And honestly? I’m over it.
This year I called in backup and tapped board-certified dermatologists Dr. Hadley King and Dr. Elyse Love to help me find a moisturizer that actually delivers intense and long-lasting hydration—in hopes of leaving this winter tradition in the past. It’s safe to say they understood the assignment.
According to Dr. Love, there’s a simple formula to finding the perfect one: “When looking for a winter moisturizer, it’s important to look for high-quality moisturizers that have a combination of ingredients to attract water (examples include lactic acid, hyaluronic acid, and glycerin) and ingredients to look in moisture (such as petrolatum, ceramides, or shea butter),” she tells E!. “In general, those with dry skin should skip lotions and stick with thicker creams.”
“Eczema skin is more likely to react to fragrances so I do recommend fragrance free moisturizers and detergents for this group,” she adds.
