SKIN MOISTURIZER: TRY ONE, TRY ALL. EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT. WHAT YOU LIKE, OTHERS MAY NOT LIKE. GO TO ANY COSMETIC COUNTER AND ASK FOR SOME SAMPLES OF SEVERAL. DIFFERENT PRODUCTS. AFTER USING THESE YOU WILL FIND OUT WHICH YOU LIKE AND WHICH YOU DONT LIKE. SIMPLE AS ALL THAT!

See what works ...: -Ointments (e.g. emulsifying ointment) are greasy and effective. -Creams (e.g. cetomacrogol) are less greasy but may be cosmetically more acceptable. -Oily creams (e.g. healthE fatty cream) are midway between creams and ointments in effectiveness and cosmetic acceptability. -Lotions are lighter still and generally not effective. Caution with soaps, Moisturise whole body. See www.adhb.govt.nz
