In winters, my skin gets very dry. What cream would suit me?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Hope you are doing well.

At your age, pimples are very unlikely. Pimples seen after 30 years of age is called adult acne, most of the times it is because of a hormonal cause. I am really sorry, I cannot suggest medicines for pimples without seeing your clinical picture. This is because I am not sure if it is pimples, as there are many conditions which mimic pimples. However, I would like to mention few skin care tips for pimples.

1. Wash your face three times a day with a good face wash. If your face is very dry, I would suggest you use Cetaphil cleansing lotion, it is a neutral face wash for dry skin with pimples.
2. Do not touch or pick the pimples. It would leave bad pigmentation and scar which is even more difficult to treat.
3. Use a good sunscreen. Apply 30 minutes before going out in the sun.
4. Eat foods that are rich in vitamin A like carrot, papaya, muskmelon, and pumpkin. These foods have betacarotene, which is essential for healthy glowing skin.

Now regarding your dry skin,

1. Use Sebamed cleansing shower oil to take bath. This product leaves a layer of oil on the skin. So, you do not feel the tightness of skin or get the white layer.
2. Use a good moisturizer. I would recommend Sebamed or Cetaphil moisturizer for the body. Apply this moisturizer soon after shower when the skin is still moist.
3. Keep yourself hydrated, drink two to three liters of water per day.
4. Regular exercise to keep the hormonal balance intact.
5. Always use lukewarm water for bath, never hot shower.

Kindly add your clinical picture next time with your query, it will be easier to suggest medicines.
