Title: Extreme facial dry skin
Post by: Sadie49 on July 01, 2023, 06:39:37 PM

Hi. Back after a wee break.  ;D After 23 meno years my facial skin doesn't seem to be absorbing moisture, hence it feels like sand paper.

I'm after a good moisturiser that penetrates meno skin plus a decent light foundation.

Any helps out there? Thankyou. :-*

DH uses Nivea on his legs and ears
I love Vaseline in the yellow bottle - 'essential healing' ......... I use it everywhere that feels dry

R U aware of vaginal atrophy ?

Aveeno is my goto for extra-dry skin. I see they do a facial product but I have never used that particular one.

Not a moisturiser, but a nice facial oil to use at night is Garnier organic Lavandin smooth and glow facial oil, which has really helped my dry skin.  NIVEA Q10 Power 60+ Anti-Wrinkle Day Cream suits my skin and is really moisturising, and they also do a night cream.  On offer at Superdrug at present!   If you want a more luxurious product the frankincense range at Neals Yard is lovely.

Thankyou ladies. Keep them coming! Apparently something with collagen helps which makes sense but probably expensive! x
