Moisturizer for dry skin? {Reader’s Query}

Swathy · April 22, 2012 · 16 Comments

Since I hardly stick to any moisturiser in the long run and till date, I have liked only three moisturisers long enough to consider re-buying, I would definitely need all the help from you. So, the lady asks me:
“I am 28years and I discovered some few wrinkles coming up. I take care of my skin and body as much as I can. I always do home remedies and I also use chemical brands. I have recently used bodyshop vitamin E moisturisers, cleanser, undereye cream but I didn’t notice any good improvement. So Now it has been a week that I am looking for a anti wrinkles cream…I still dont want to apply anti aging stuff but I am really confused which brand to use and which is good for skin. You know how many brands are there in the markets but hardly you can find something that suits the skin. I am writing to ask you if you know any brank that will serve this purpose. and also any good moisturizer, sunscreen and cleanser.“
Regarding the moisturisers, I advised her for Aloevera Gel from Rustic Art and Biotique Wheatgerm Cream which I had used in these winters and I would be posting the review in these winters but just for the record, its really good and I would recommend it to anyone. In fact, I am also considering other creams from Biotique but they are heavy and best used in winters unless you have dry skin. Also, I did like Liz Earle moisturiser but its pretty expensive when you include the shipping costs. I also advised the lady for cleansers from Lush. She is already using one from Lush. So, hoping to get more suggestions from you all 🙂
Also, the lady needs reviews and thoughts on the following 3 products:
  • Kiehls – Ultra Moisturizing Eye Stick SPF 30
  • MAC – Mineralize Charged Water Moisture Eye Cream
  • Prevage Eye Eye Ultra Protection Anti-aging Moisturizer SPF 15
So, what are your suggestions, ladies 🙂

    I am of the same age and have used rose night rejuvenating creme from holistic serums which is 100% natural. It fades wrinkles and evened skinny skin as I had pigmentation too. It’s very expensive. So I buy it only when I feel my skin is really bad. It costs Rs.2500 for 45g. But it’s is so worth it. U can notice visible difference in a month. It lasted me for 5 months bcoz u need so little.
    Check out http://www.holisticserums.com. U need to mail the order and transfer the amount to her account. She will courier within 7 days.

    It is hand made in US and sold in India. You can contact Esther es2jo@yahoo.com. She ships the products from Hyderabad.

    You should definitely try Cocoa Butter facial creams because it is specifically for dry skin and it also reduces wrinkles 🙂

    I’ve been using Liz Earle moisturiser and as you say they are expensive. I would love to try an alternative for a less cost and see how it works for me. Aloevera products are really cool and pleasant with less chemical content. So I’m gonna try Rustic Art products.

    Thanks for your review. I’ve been avoiding using a skin moisturiser for years. I’ve finally seen the light and started using one.

    Thanks.
