If you have dry or sensitive skin, finding the right moisturizer to support your skin’s specific needs is essential. The best dry skin moisturizer will be hydration focused, replenishing and locking moisture into the skin with a humectant such as hyaluronic acid. The best face moisturizer for sensitive skin soothes and calms skin with gentle, nourishing ingredients such as vitamin E and aloe vera. Both types of moisturizers will focus on skin barrier repair, to reduce any inflammation, dryness, and reactivity. Face moisturizers for dry and sensitive skin will be gentle, fragrance free, and feature emollient ingredients such as jojoba oil, ceramides, and shea butter which help to calm and cushion skin, creating a protective barrier to prevent TEWL (transepidermal water loss). Always make sure your skin is fully prepped before moisturizer application, with a calming, hydrating skincare regimen, which includes a gentle cleanser, hyaluronic acid serum, followed by your moisturizer for dry or sensitive skin. During the day, follow this with your SPF. Having a soothing, hydrating facial mist on hand to top off your hydration whenever you need it will also help reduce any tightness or reactivity you may experience throughout the day. For evening or winter skincare, try a richer face moisturizer formulation for deeper overnight repair and hydration.
