What kind of moisturizer should I use?

While dry skin can happen at any time throughout the year, it’s especially common during the winter months due to plummeting temperatures and low humidity.

That’s why moisturizer is key to your skincare routine. But what kind should you use?

“This all depends on what is going on with your skin,” said Kathe Malinowski, lead esthetician and marketing manager for Eterna MedSpa & Laser Vein Center.

For extremely dry skin, she recommends Obagi Hydrate Luxe which is carried by Eterna. The product contains naturally derived ingredients such as shea butter, mango butter, and avocado, as well as additional powerful ingredients to provide extra moisture for those with drier skin.

“It can be used during the day and night to moisture and hydrate the skin,” Malinowski said.

The Avène A-Oxitive Antioxidant Defense Serum and A-Oxitive Smoothing Water-cream, available at Eterna, are also ideal for combatting dry, rough or damaged skin.

They contain both vitamin C and vitamin E products with hyaluronic in them that are great for hydration,” Malinowski said.

Eterna carries a variety of other trusted brands as well to soothe your dry and irritated winter skin. Not sure which product is best for you?

“The best thing to do is come in for a consultation so we can do a Visia skin analysis,” said Malinowski.

The Visia machine is able to take photos of the top layer of the skin, as well as the deeper, dermal layers.

“We can see what is going on with your skin and suggest which products are best suited for your individual skin type,” Malinowski said.
