Dry Scaly Skin

Live in southern ca now so I forgot how to care for winter skin. But my skin has been SO dry. Does anyone have products that are for dry scaly winter skin on legs and arms. I don’t love thick creams so serums and layering creams is what I prefer…my skin feels so uncomfortable and it’s so dry and cracked that when I feel it I don’t even feel like I’m in the right body- so I need some help fast! ;)

Consider using a hydrating lotion before a lightweight cream! Laneige and hadalabo have great lotion which provide intense hydration. The Aestura cream is my favorite to use. The cream is lightweight and moisturizing enough.

Maybe an oil? I usually add an oil to my lotion. Could be a body oil in specific or even almond oil from the store etc. Anything with hyaluronic acid is great too. I like hempz lotion personally. I tend to apply directly after the shower. If my legs are too dry I'll add a little water in with the lotion

As someone with dry/sensitive skin, I second adding a hydrating oil before lotion. Even something simple like avocado oil can help. If you find your skin is really struggling, try slugging on the most dry areas. I don't personally like the texture of vaseline or Aquaphor but it does leave dry, scaly skin soft and renewed. just add it over the oil/body lotion. If you try it once, you'll be amazed. 😆 A gentle or moisturizing body wash can help. I've found good results with the Cetaphil. And finally, my significant other used the Illiyoon just one time has been bringing it up in conversation so much that I'm getting him some for his hands. 😅 I'll leave some product suggestions as well. edit: I'm new here and didn't realize I was adding onto a comment. Hope it's okay. 🫂

When I lived there. I used these. CA is so dry. before I used K beauty I thought maybe my skin will be like that dry living in that area after trying a lot of American brands. Wow, K beauty just changed my mindset 😜 Highly recommend use cream toner/serum/ thick cream. It saved me! Also try acid about two times per week.

it’s sooo dry! i thought cold weather was hard on my skin but I forgot how bone dry the desert can be and then the Santa Ana winds- my skin went from normal to snake overnight! thanks for the reccomendations! i was wondering if I should exfoliate or if that would be too harsh!
