Allure asks Dr. Green about the Best Lotions for Dry, Itchy Skin
Dr. Michele Green was featured today in “13 Best Lotions for Dry, Itchy Skin, According to Dermatologists” where she was asked common questions like:
- What do dermatologists recommend for extremely dry, itchy skin?
- What can I put on dry skin to stop itching?
- What cream stops itching fast?
Ahead of the colder months, the best thing to do for dry, itchy skin is to apply moisturizer liberally and multiple times a day. Thick creams with high oil concentrations can lock in moisture and she recommended looking for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, colloidal oats, and ceramides to restore the skin barrier. In addition to that, look out for fragrances and alcohol, as those can cause dry skin. While there may not be a “best brand” for everyone’s skin, try to look for products with urea, which soothes skin in addition to providing hydration.
