Affordable skincare tips: what are your recommendations?

Published by:  IsabellaM

I’m writing because I have super dry skin and in winter it’s even worse. Since I moved to Hamburg, my lips have been chapped and peeling and my face has been flaky. I’ve used some hydrating lotions and lip balms, but NOTHING works :(( I’m desperate now! One friend told me that I can use a face oil in the evening, but I don’t want my skin to become greasy then. Do you know anything that can help? Perhaps if someone has a similar problem, you can share what has worked for you. Looking forward to reading your opinions! Thanks!!!!

Hi, Isabella! I have the same problem with dry skin. It’s so annoying and it seems like it just won’t change. Some products I really like are the moisturizing line from Cerave. They do a great job at keeping the skin at least a little better. I have the moisturizing lotion and the hydrating cleanser and I use them twice a day. For me for the lips it’s even more difficult to find a product that works. Right now I use the lip balm from La roche posay, but have to reapply it 10 times a day! Oh and I never use matte lipsticks because they make my lips even worse.

great topic!! I have really dry skin too and I know how you feel. Do you know what works for me? I apply deep hydrating masks 3 times a week. I use either sheet masks or ones that you don’t have to wash off, you just let them soak in the skin. A cheap hydrating product I love is from Dove – Dry skin relief. It’s an overnight cream that really makes a difference. Oh and it doesn’t clog your pores either. P.S. Does anyone use any facial oils? I heard they’re great too. .
