Come winter, the dry skin struggle is real. Some of us are dealing with the compounded effects of very cold weather and skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis. There are others who simply neglect to put on more lotion than they did the previous season and suffer the consequences. And then there are people like me managing all of the above and willing to try anything that will bust ash from dusk ’til dawn. Personal experience has taught me that though there are plenty of soft skin products to swipe and slather, not all are created equal.
For instance, some lotions feel creamy but end up sucking all moisture out of the skin because of artificial fragrance or alcohol. Body scrubs are another tricky beast because if you opt for something with one too many exfoliants, you’ll also have irritation to deal with. For these reasons and more, I’ve gathered my best-of-all-time cleansers, exfoliants, creams, and balms for skin that will feel like a baby’s bottom. Trust me—the hype is real with these soft skin faves.

This drugstore staple is a godsend and the most recent recruit to my eczema survival kit.
