NBC News Select Asks About Dry Skin in 2024

Dr. Green spoke with NBC News Select today about knowing what type of moisturizer — humectants, occlusives or emollients — are in the cleanser. “A humectant is a substance that attracts and pulls water to the surface of the skin from either the air or deeper layers of skin,” says Dr. Michele Green in the article. “They’re used in cleansers to deliver moisture to the skin and promote hydration.”

She reviews and talks about some of the potentially top selling dry skin products in 2024 and what to look for, such as formulas with emollients, which help repair the skin’s natural moisture barrier to soften, hydrate and maintain proper moisture levels. These formulas include ingredients like jojoba oil, grapeseed oil and rosehip oil.
