If you have really dry skin, there are hundreds of dry skin creams available. And with colder weather just around the corner you're going to want to make sure you pick the right one.

But before you start paging through the dry skin reviews you should make sure that your 'dry face skin' isn't just a build up of debris. If you haven't tried exfoliating in a while, this may be the case.  Once you've exfoliated, your skin is prepared to soak up all the benefits of a good quality moisturiser.

The first, Skin Smoothing Cream is a medium weight cream packed with soothing botanicals and antioxidant vitamins. Just the job for smoothing out those fine lines.

The second, Intensive Moisture Balance is an ultra rich phytonutrient moisturiser which is particularly suited to dry and prematurely aging skin. This product strengthens the skins lipid barrier to help prevent moisture loss.
