Dermatology Dermatology Conditions Treatments Skin Care From Heather Brannon, MD, your Guide to Dermatology I don't know about you, but my face seems like it's constantly dry, even in this hot weather. Did you know that tight feeling you get after you wash your face is a signal that your cleanser is too harsh? If you're looking for a good moisturizer, look no farther. This week I'll cover great moisturizers that help various types of skin. Best Ceramide Moisturizers I think the ceramide moisturizers are the most state-of-the-art moisturizers around. They actually replace the skin's natural oils and are as effective as some medications for treating eczema. If you have dry, tight skin, take a look at these choices. Best Emollient Moisturizers The emollient moisturizers hold water in the skin to hydrate it. Even though the ceramide moisturizers mimic the skin's natural oils, these top-of-the-line emollient moisturizers have been around for years and are a good choice for the price. Best Moisturizers for Scaly Skin If your skin is flaky and scaly, it helps to have a product that not only moisturizes, but also helps get rid of the flakes. These moisturizers contain alpha hydroxy acids making them good exfoliants and moisturizers. Understanding Moisturizer Ingredients Have you ever looked at your moisturizer's ingredients? I know it can be confusing. Find out what goes into a moisturizer to make it work.
