Finding the right moisturizer to add to your skin care routine can help minimize dryness and irritation — creating a healthy glow with or without makeup. Here are some which our readers and followers swear by:

Dr jart @iambabarzaheer

I love the Clinique dramatically different moisturizing gel @maheenkazim

Love the body shop’s vitamin e moisturizing cream! It’s sooo lightweight, absorbs well and doesn’t feel greasy like those other winter moisturizers @samrasal

Body butters by the body shop are lifesavers. Also nivea lotions are pretty good @bakhtawar0_0

Ordinary and No.7’s moisturizers are the BEST!! @mehaksulleman

Nivea. Plus it’s so affordable. @zainab_azamm

Loreal’s day cream spf17 or spf 30 @its_me_yasir

Cetaphil and nivea @ashialee

Physiogel’s daily moisture therapy @aineemainee

Good ole’ Vaseline 

22% of you recommended using Vaseline as a winter moisturizer. While petroleum jelly may not be the most attractive beauty product on the market, it’s the easiest to find.

Vaseline! Vaseline! Vaseline! @iareeshajaved

I mix cocoa butter petroleum jelly with body butter from Body Shop and my skin is hydrated for the whole day @maahnoor_khattak

Do It The Natural Way 

Meet the natural wonders that are generating the most buzz, and are a perfect cure for dry skin. While you might be tempted to lather your body with lotion when dealing with dry skin, your best – and most natural – option is oil. Most of you highly recommended applying coconut oil to your skin which helps keep it hydrated and helps treat eczema — a skin condition characterized by scaly, itchy rashes. If your skin needs a boost of moisture, you can try using a yoghurt face mask, or aloe vera gel to rejuvenate your skin as well.

Bio oil @sanacashmiri_

Aloe vera @tahreem13

Coconut oil @vintagethoughts833

Egg yolk @irfanmadni

Coconut oil is one of the best moisturizer suitable for all skin types. You may apply it overnight or 15-20 minutes before bath or a small amount as a moisturizer. 

You can even mix it with jojoba oil, add lavender oil if you are scent-conscious person @dikshakhosla

The best thing I use is mixture of glycerine and rose water @mehwishsheikh333

Use fresh malai/cream you will never have dry skin. It’s my experimented review.  @_zOha_

Yogurt @hibaali5611

Aloe vera along with some essential oil according to skin type…best ever moisturizer @annnnnnumm
