I don't have dry skin, so I don't use any moisturizer.

I use Clinique - It seems to be the only moisturizer that I can use that doesn't make my skin oily.

Any type of baby lotion works awsome. I use the chamomiel (sp?) soothing milk lotin or something... I have sensitive skin due to this thing I inherited from my dad and it takes a lot to get my skin not dry.
Baby lotion does not sit heavy and it is not greasy
HTH,
Brandi

My dad works at Unilever (I used to work there, too), which is the company that makes Suave, Salon Selections and a bazillion other products. Naturally, I use whatever he brings home. Good thing I prefer Suave, eh? Yay for discounts at the company store.

Only fancy shmancy cause of the price It is prescription because of my extremely sensitive skin. I use Elidel. It not only keeps the face moisturized with no excess oils, but also gets rid of any allergic reactions hives within minutes.

Any Sorbolene Cream that can be bought at any pharmacy. I have very dry skin, and since its winter, the skin on my fingers actually becomed flaky and peels off ]:| After using this cream that was recommended by a specalist doctor it actually puts moisture back into the skin. It can be used anywhere on the body so everyone can use it. I got like 5 100g jars in each room and a 500g tub of it in the bathroom so i can apply on dry skin after I shower or wash my hands etc.

The Sorbolene Crm i used is by Sigma Pharmaciticals*(spelling). And I fully recommend it. Its like $16 for 500g =)

I won it at work, but it, like Moondog's, is from Israel, and has dead sea minerals and all that good stuff. PLus it smells DEEEEE-LISH! I work for Neiman Marcus here in Canada, we have no stores, but one of their catalog order and customer service call centers is here, so we always have the chance to win fancy-schmancy stuff, if we are good salespeople. Anyways, It's called Selah. I think it's hebrew for "forever"?

Oh, and right now I am using christian Dior Hydra-Corps Satin lotion on my arms because I ust noticed I have a bottle of it

I like the cocoa body butter, I put it on nice and thick like a face mask for 20-60 minutes, then rinse it off and put a thinner layer of it on for the night. Other than that, I like to use SPF 15 lip balm sometimes if I have any sores from chapped skin when I go out to protect them from our Canadian weather. It works well for a sore, dry red nose from a cold in the winter when you have to go out in -20C weather.

OK, this is a 'girlie' type question, not terribly 'me' but hey

I woke up this morning with my skin so dry and scaley on my face that i couldnt smile or frown!

So, i was wondering, what is your preferred moisturiser?

I have been using Ponds now UV20+ for many years especially when I go up north tropical fishing. I have never been sun burnt using this product. Also I swim in a heated pool plus a very hot spar three times a week.

A local chemist is no longer carring this product so they reduced it by 60% I bought all they had left 10 bottles.

More men use it than will ever admit it.

I don't have as much of a problem with dry skin as most people, although the Indiana winter did a number on my elbows. I used Suave mainly. for super cheap at WalMart for a ton of it and it works well too (doesn't evaporate away like alcohol-based lotions).
