Ladies - Best Night cream for very dry skin?

[smiley11 10]

Those with eczema and other really dry skin conditions are often advised to take 4grams of evening primrose oil daily, which is 4 times the standard dose, but which (in my non-scientific one person test) does seem to reduce my need for emollients over my whole body. I'd recommend it to anybody who has dry skin.

 

I already take a multi-vit tablet every day. Do you think its safe to take 4 evening Primrose tabs as well?

I use just E45. Its a good price, and works well, some of the more expensive types just give me hay fever, think its the perfume in them.

 

Thanks, I had extreme eczema during my childhood and am now immune to E45. Thanks anyway though....

One of my sons has eczema on his face, I wouldn't say it is extreme, but it was a problem. I gave him some 'Ojon" cream that I bought from QVC and it immediately cleared his skin, I personally don't use it because of the smell (chocolate!) but it is very good although a little pricey, although I now buy it for my son (and my OH) from ebay.

I shall be trying Johnsons Baby Products, if it's good enough for baby....

 

I also read eat plenty of cucumber, it moisturises from the inside

Sanctuary Rose Oil for face is very good, £12. Or failing that Clarins Beauty Flashbalm more expensive but works wonders!

A very good night cream is Astral. It is designed to be used as a day cream but my ex used to complain that it was too greasy to be used in the day but said it was an effective & inexpensive night cream (it smelled lovely too)! What's more Joanna Lumley and Patsy Kensit swear by it, apparently!

Well who'd have thought it. One of the best recommendations comes from a bloke!

 

I might just give it a try! Thanks!

Smilley, I do agree with shaz, but you can moisture your face in a very natural and inexenpsive way. I use coffee scrub mask. I take what is left over after having my coffee in the morning, make sure it is quite dry, add about a teaspoon of olive oil, heat it a bit, then I apply it on my face with small circular moves..very gentle. It cleanes my pores and moistures my face in the same time. I leave it in about 15 minutes, then wash it off gently with warm watter. I do look like a monkey for about a quarter of an hour, but I think it's worth. Have a try, you won't be dissapointed!

I'm going to try Johnson's Baby Oil

 

My mother would only use Pond's Cold Cream

Try the one from Aldi. It came out top in a recent poll. I use it and i'm very old , i have no wrinkles and i have very good skin .... on a serious note just try it and i'm sure you will continue to use it.

 

Yes, Aldis face creams are very good. The most expensive creams arent always the best.
