Any skin-care routine worth following includes a moisturizer worth buying: a moisturizer is a mainstay in any effective skin care regimen.

This is because a good product rehydrates your skin, trapping the existing water in the skin to plump and protect it. This keeps your skin healthy, glowing, and of course, looking young.

The problem however, is that our moisturizing regimen usually ends at our necks, leading to dry skin that may make you feel a bit lizard-like right now. And while there are many reasons that contribute to it, weather is easily a major factor.

So what to do?

You slather on some body cream. We recommend CeraVe Itch Relief Moisturizing Cream as your, well… weapon of choice.

Research shows that women (and men, of course) want a body cream that has a gentle, non irritating formula, can hydrate their skin and keep it that way, and be affordable.

The CeraVe Moisturizing Cream meets all these criteria. Developed by dermatologists ( skin experts), this body, face, and hand cream provides a day’s worth of moisture, thanks to a potent and no-frills blend of three ceramides (1,3,6-11) and hyaluronic acid. This means your skin is moisturized and protected by a barrier layer to prevent loss of moisture.

The fragrance-free formula is also a welcome addition, as it significantly lessens the likelihood of causing an allergic reaction. It’s paraben-free, boasts a gentle formula, and has the National Eczema Association’s Seal of Acceptance. More on this in a sec.

The top websites that carry it (such as Amazon and Walgreens) are brimming with 5-star ratings and positive reviews from customers who have tested it under different types of weather, who say how it helped their dry skin, and who state it helped them look younger. Those with eczema, even sunburn, can benefit as well, as users stated that it’s effective in helping to control itch and discomfort.

We can confidently recommend CeraVe Moisturizing Cream as a top body cream.
