Are oils, creams or lotions best for extremely dry facial skin? thank you.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Creams: Creams are best for dry skin. You could even put on an ointment such as vaseline or aveeno (oatmeal) healing ointment or aquaphor at night. You should also use a mild soap such as cetaphil, basis for dry skin, vanicream soap or oilatum.
