4 Heavy-Duty Moisturizers for Dry Skin
We may be officially a few days into summer, but rough, cracked, and itchy skin doesn’t only rear its (ugly) head during the colder months. Warm weather can also exacerbate dry skin and make it feel uncomfortably tight; whether it’s due to prolonged sun exposure, chlorine from swimming pools, or moisture-sucking air conditioners. In the war against dry skin, finding the perfect—and ultra-hydrating—daily moisturizer is only half the battle, but it’s your best bet towards victory. Here, four no-joke moisturizers to keep in your arsenal all year long.
SKINCEUTICALS EMOLLIENCE
Formulated with an exclusive selection of extracts and oils, this rich, restorative moisturizer nourishes and hydrates the skin to restore and maintain proper moisture levels. It’s ideal for dry or sensitive skin that’s in need of some extra attention. Apply it once or twice daily to your face, neck, and chest; it gets to work immediately. The result? Skin that’s as smooth as silk.
LA ROCHE-POSAY TOLERIANE RICHE
Tackle dryness with confidence using this soothing moisturizer from La Roche-Posay formulated with shea butter and thermal spring water. Apply it onto the face and neck during the morning and evening hours. Your delicate skin will drink it up and be left feeling soft, smooth, and nourished.
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Riche, $28.99
THE BODY SHOP VITAMIN E INTENSE MOISTURIZER
Kick dry skin to the curb with this intensely moisturizing cream. Despite being thick, it melts into very dry skin quickly to lock in moisture for long-lasting hydration. Apply it to the face and neck areas with your fingertips after cleansing and toning and voila: soft and hydrated skin morning to night.
The Body Shop Vitamin E Intense Moisturizer, $22
VICHY AQUALIA THERMAL DYNAMIC HYDRATION RICH CREAM
This powerful formula rehydrates dry areas of the face by evenly spreading water throughout all facial zones for 48 hours of lasting hydration. Skin will look fresher, more radiant, and plumped with moisture. No greasy smears, either. Gently apply it onto the face and neck every morning and/or evening until thoroughly absorbed.
