Top 20 Moisturising Creams For Dry & Itchy Skin
An edit for your face & body
Suffering from dry itchy skin? Winter is a time when the dry-skinned become severely dry. Combine the cold winter air, dry indoor heating, low humidity levels and you’re left with a dry and lifeless complexion. Add stress into the mix and we’ve exacerbated the occurrence of eczema and psoriasis.
Any regular lotion is not going to cut it in this instance. For us flakey-folk, we need rich emollient or humectant creams to save us. Emollient creams will hydrate, soothe and lock in moisture while humectant creams draw moisture into our skin helping us manage the dryness especially for those who suffer from eczema and psoriasis. Here are our top 20 moisturising creams to get you through the season.
