Dry Skin Face Creams

Your face's skin can feel tight and dry, often because of environmental conditions like dry air or too frequent face washing. Replenish the moisture in your skin with a facial moisturizing cream designed to trap and attract moisture onto the skin's surface. Regular use of a facial cream can help keep your complexion smooth and firm.

DHC Wrinkle Filler

DHC's wrinkle-filling product is essentially an intensive moisturizer intended for dry to very dry skin, according to skin care expert Paula Begoun. It comes formulated with natural emollients like olive oil to help hydrate your face, while antioxidants like vitamin E help shield against skin damage that may contribute to wrinkles. Begoun notes that DHC includes an "impressive amount" of licorice, which can help reduce skin irritation.

Bare Escentuals BareMinerals SPF 30 Natural Sunscreen

Moisturize your face while also protecting against the damaging rays of the sun with the natural sunscreen from Bare Escentuals. The product won the Prestige Sun Protection category at the Cosmetic Executive Women's 2010 beauty awards. The CEW liked its moisturizing properties---it includes aloe vera, plus nourishing vitamins like vitamin C---and its use of titanium dioxide to block ultraviolet rays. It can be worn alone but is light enough to wear under your makeup.

Olay Definity Restorative Night Cream

Don't just moisturize your skin, but also help rejuvenate its appearance with Olay's antiaging night cream. It was chosen by InStyle magazine's beauty editors as one of the best night moisturizers available, with the magazine noting its use of glucosamine to brighten and enhance your skin tone. Glycerin and other emollients help trap moisture in your skin cells for a more hydrated environment.

Eucerin Redness Relief Soothing Night Creme

Dry skin can sometimes become red from irritation. Eucerin's soothing facial moisturizer may help combat that with licorice extract, according to Begoun. It also comes formulated with skin-nourishing triglycerides and standard moisturizers like glycerin. If you have sensitive skin, you'll be glad to know that no synthetic fragrances are added, so you get moisturizing and no unnecessary irritation.
