Is your skin already feeling the effects of the colder weather? Is your skin dry, itchy, scaly, sensitive, inflamed? I feel your pain. Below is a round-up of my current favourites products to ditch the itch from head to toe.

Ditch the Itch this Winter

Lamelle Serra Soothing Cream – R665

Ditch the Itch Lamelle Serra Soothing Cream

Oh my word!! Serra Soothing Cream is a freakin’ lifesaver! If you suffer from dry skin, this product is Heaven sent. This cream treats exceptionally dry, sensitive, inflamed or allergic skin and it does it very well. This cream most definitely lives up to its name. My tube is nearing empty and I need more. Trust me, it is a must have for winter. Pop over to the Lamelle website to have a look at the other products in the range. I need to get my hands on it all too.

Dr. Dermal The Omega Skin Oil – R675

Ditch the Itch Dr Dermal Omega Skin Oil

Holy grail. I used the Dr. Dermal Omega Skin Oil in 2016 and it is still the best facial oil for winter I’ve used. I got away with not using it last year, but change of season has been hell on my skin this year and I need it. Badly.

Avene XeraCalm Cleansing Oil (R250) & Lipid Replenishing Balm (R320)

Avene XeraCalm Replenishing Cleansing Oil is formulated for very dry skin and skin prone to itching and atopic-dermatitis. It is freakin’ fantastic! The lipid-rich formula helps to repair, nourish and strengthen the skin’s barrier whilst cleansing and it leaves skin feeling soft, comfortable and smooth. This super gentle cleansing oil is soap and fragrance-free and is safe for adults, children and infants. It can be used on the face and body. I’ve tried it on my face and it is gorgeous. Does a great job taking off make-up too.

The Avene XeraCalm Lipid-Replenishing Balm is specially formulated with mineral-rich thermal spring water and lipid-rich ingredients to ditch the itch. And it does it very well. The balm is thick, nourishing and very soothing. It deeply hydrates severely dry skin and can be used on infant, children’s and adult skin.

Cetaphil DailyAdvance Ultra Hydrating Lotion – R360

Ditch the Itch Cetaphil DailyAdvance Lotion

If you prefer a lotion to a thick cream or balm, the Cetaphil DailyAdvance Ultra Hydrating Lotion is the one for you. It feels very light, but it is very hydrating and soothing. It can be used on the face and body and it works great with my sensitive skin.

La Roche-Posay Lipikar Stick AP+ – R170

Ditch the Itch - La Roche-Posay Lipikar Stick AP+

The La Roche-Posay Lipikar Stick AP+ stick has been formulated for atopic eczema-prone skin, itchy skin, irritated skin and dry, patchy skin. It instantly relieves scratching urges and is said to reduce eczema lesions. This gorgeous product is perfect to treat dry patches on the face and body and it makes for a fantastic lip balm too.

Mixa Cica Repair Balm – R80

Ditch the Itch - Mixa

The Mixa Cica Repair Balm is super thick and an absolute winner and a must-have during winter. It reinforces skin barrier function and relieves skin discomfort. Perfect to treat rough, scaly skin on face, body and hands.

I have been a huge fan of Dr. Dermal for quite some time. My love for the brand has, up until recently, only been based on one product… and yes, it was a single product that impressed me enough to be able to make this statement – the Dr. Dermal Omega Skin Oil. Winter is extremely tough on my skin and this oil is just what it needs. I have to get my hands on it again.

I am currently also using the following products and I will be sharing my thoughts soon…

IntenCE Antioxidant Plasma – This potent Vitamin C treatment improves the overall condition of your skin by fighting free radicals and up regulating cell function. The low pH also helps to provide gentle exfoliation.

MicroRetinol 5 Rich Repair – this high performance Retinol cream contains 5% micro-encapsulated retinol which provides massive anti-ageing benefits such as reduction in the appearance of pores, fine lines, wrinkles, redness, uneven skin tone.

Texture Correction Pads – this powerful exfoliant helps to remove flaky, dead skin cells and reveal healthy skin below that is primed to absorb nutrients more efficiently.

I am so impressed! And I am 100% confident that you will be too.

Pop on over to Dr. Dermal’s site and have a browse. What I LOVE about the site is the fact that they have made it extremely easy to shop for the correct products to address your specific skin concerns.

Happy shopping!
