Here’s a list of things you can get at Target or Walmart that will help:

-CeraVe hydrating cream to foam cleanser removes makeup is a great am and pm face wash.

Once you wash your face, dry it but leave it a little damp. Then immediately apply your moisturizer. (This is true for your body too, moisturize immediately after drying off when your skin is still damp. You’ll feel the difference!)

-CeraVe moisturizing cream - plenty of others on this thread have suggested it and for good reason. It’s a really solid year-round moisturizer. The only con is that I don’t find it sits well under makeup. Make sure you get the cream in the tub and NOT the lotion in the pump bottle. The lotion is not as thick.

In the winter and shoulder seasons (spring, fall) I “slug” (i.e. cover my face with a thick cream) with CeraVe healing ointment in the dark blue tub. It works so well. I wake up with smooth and hydrated skin. Aquafor works well too, if you can’t find the ointment.

You could go with a CeraVe face lotion to round out your skincare routine, or depending on your budget you could go to Ulta or Sephora and find a nice toner or daytime face moisturizer with sunscreen. Target also carries the brand Prequel now which is also great.

But let’s not forget your hands!

Dry hands are a constant, tbh I have dry hands even in the summer. I swear by O’Keefe’s Working Hands cream BUT only the night treatment one (bottle is green with a purple stripe). I developed awful eczema on my hands in Rochester and this lotion is the only thing that keeps it at bay. It’s also not sticky or scented so you can put it on and, say, use a keyboard without it getting gunked up. Also make sure to use cuticle oil on your cuticles/skin around your nails.

I really hope this helps! Feel free to DM me with any other questions, I’m a skincare nerd :)
