I have the “I hate feeling wet/oily when I’m supposed to be dry” autism. I also have the “It feels like 10s of itchy razor-blade cuts when my skin is so dry it cracks” autism. This cold front has my skin too dry and cracked. It’s about to be worse than air drying after swimming at the beach and then putting on a shirt. I’m running out of meltdown prevention juice. Does anyone have any lotion or other remedies? I’m like 3 tragedies away from meltdown.
Winner: CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion!! And CeraVe PM for the faceeee!! I feel my skin starting to be less mad at me already. Thank you everyone!
I’m super into skincare and have tried many different moisturizers. These are the ones I’m currently using and love them 🩷

I use two different ones on my body, depending on the area.
The creams will sit on your skin until they are absorbed, but they leave skin hydrated for 48-72 hours.
For more lightweight ones (also more affordable) - Face:
Body:
I recommend buying the smaller sizes to start so that you can gauge your reactions to them. Good luck!!
Nice! I wish I had that drive for skin care like you do. I tend to wait too long. I’ve seen CeraVe recommended a lot, so I’m gonna give those a shot along with the Up & Up Target brand. Thank you!
Yes, I use the same face cream as well. It does a really good job of keeping my face feeling right.
