If you were born with dry skin, you know the struggle. It gets red. It gets inflamed. It gets flaky. Not pretty. And winter makes it all worse.

Cerave Moisturizing Cream For Normal To Dry Skin
Not only does Dr. Ip sings its praises, but also do the thousands of people who give it a five-star rating. This thick moisturizing cream contains oils and ceramides, which are lipids that help to repair the skin's barrier function and prevent inflammation.

Avène Thermal Spring Water
If you also suffer from sensitive skin, Dr. Ip recommends Avène’s Thermal Spring Water spray. It’s made with trace minerals and silica to condition and reduce irritation while leaving a soothing barrier of lightweight moisture over the skin.

Skinmedica Ha5 Rejuvenating Hydrator
When you need continuous moisture, Dr. Ip suggests this no BS serum, which contains a blend of five hydrators that provide eight hours of continuous hydration to the skin. And while it's a tad pricey, we can attest that it's worth every penny.
