Default What do you use for dry skin?

What would you recommend as good face cream/moisturizer? The cold weather and bypass diet has dried my skin so much.
The nut has me taking 1000 iu's of fish oil but so far no difference in my skin. Thanks

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

My face skin is very sensitive and I can't use most creams. I was with noxema and use Night of Olay (it's thicker than the regular oil of olay).

I absolutely love Hope in a Jar from Philosophy. I naturally have dry skin so I moisturize everyday. It must work cause the other day at work someone thought I was a teenager

I love Arbonne products- they are all natural, so very easy on the skin. Aquaphor is great, but if I rubbed that on my face I think I would break out like a teenager! I use it on my hands and lips.

OMG...I was looking at the OLAY regenerist stuff at walmart...and EQUATE has several of their own stuff to compete...I got a bottle of the daily regenerating serum...and the skin on my face is AWESOME now...it was like $10 compared to OLAY's $26....after surgery, it seemed like my skin got weird all over LOL

I use OLAY quench body lotion!

I like Gold Bond's Ultimate Healing lotion. I used it pre-op on my body, but wouldn't even think of it on my face. But ever since surgery I tried it one day because my old facial mosturizers didn't cut it and this works beautifully.

I wouldnt use this on my face but on the rest of my body YES! I live in ND and lord knows it is dry as the desert here in the winter. I am a Pure Romance consultant and we carry what is called "Body Dew" and it is an oil mist. It is SUPER hydrating and leaves your skin feeling very hydrated - great for dry winters and great for summers because it leaves your skin nice and shiny Also great to hydrate tattoos and what not. I dont mean to sound like a dork about this stuff but it is great - just not for your face
