Winter is here, and that means dry skin. As a lifelong eczema sufferer, I’ve scoured doctor’s offices, pharmacies, and the depths of the internet for the best products to relieve severely dry, cracked and painfully itchy skin.
Here are the best lotions, humidifiers, face and body masks and more so your skin will stay protected all winter long, no matter how dry it gets.
Tree Hut 24 Hour Intense Hydrating Shea Body Butter
Price: $5.77
Over 10,000 5-star ratings agree, this 7 oz. tub of 100% pure natural shea body butter is the best way to keep your skin hydrated. The skin conditioner found in safflower seeds keeps your skin soft and glowing, and comes in a variety of scents including coconut and lime, almond and honey, moroccan rose and more.
Cortizone 10 Intensive Healing Anti Itch Creme
Price: $7.28
Cortisone cream may come in a small bottle, but it packs a big punch. This topical steroid is the tried and true cream for eczema, psoriasis and plain old itchy, dry skin. Vitamins A and E help provide 24-hour moisturizing itch relief. Pro-tip: If you or your child scratch your skin in the night, try wearing socks over your hands to prevent further damage.
Eucerin Advanced Repair Body Lotion
Price: $9.54
Get immediate 48-hour relief with this lotion from Eucerin. It’s great to use right after you’ve washed your hands (because we’re all still doing that religiously, right?), but also great as an all-over body lotion for long lasting moisture.
Price: $13.74
Aquaphor is packed with petroleum making it the perfect multi-purpose ointment for dry or cracked skin, chapped lips, cracked cuticles, dry feet and more. And you can leave it on overnight to really reap the benefits.
Pure Enrichment MistAire Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier
Price: $39.99
Dry air is a killer for your skin. This humidifier with a 1.5-liter water tank will fill your room with moisture for up to 16 hours of continuous use to cut out dry skin at the source.
First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream Intense Hydration
Price: $36
This cream can be used on all skin types, but is especially great for those with dry, flaky skin. Apply it to your skin once or twice a day to get a punch of colloidal oatmeal, shea butter, ceramide 3 and the FAB antioxidant boosters delivered straight to your parched skin.
Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Mask
Price: $39
While all of the above creams and moisturizers are left on, this hydrating mask from Dermalogica is meant to be washed off 7-10 minutes after you apply it to your face and neck. Use this one just once or twice a week; that’s all it takes for soft, smooth skin.
Price: $63
Intense hydration and minimizing your pores at the same time? Sign me up. Vitamin E and nutrient-rich algae extracts work to soften and replenish your skin, while seven botanical extracts claim to reduce the look of your pores when you use this lightweight and long-lasting moisturizer.
Price: $27.95
If dry, cracked feet are your main concern and you don’t mind the look of peeling skin for a few weeks, this could be the solution for you. Just slip the included booties on your feet and let the mask do its magic. All of your dull, dry skin will peel off over the next two weeks leaving your feet baby soft and smooth. Gross. But people swear by it.
