Winter is a particularly hard time for those with sensitive skin. And while sensitive skin can be problematic at any time of year, the cold temperature and indoor heating are particularly likely to trigger flare ups. As a result, finding the right moisturiser to keep your skin hydrated, protect it from the elements and not cause a flare up in the process can be harder than you’d think. See our round up of the best moisturisers for sensitive skin.

CeraVe Moisturising Lotion
A cult brand in the US, that has only recently landed in Australia: these products are lightweight, oil-free, non-comedogenic, dermatologically tested for sensitive skin and offer controlled release for 24 hour hydration. Sounds like a win-win to me. Find it at cerave.com.au

I’d like to try the CeraVe and Alya Skin range sound really good
The cera ve moisturiser is great because it sinks into the skin straight away and doesnt leave and weird sticky residue
Some of these I tried before. I recommend you try them.
I love using Avene as it is not dear and good for your skin.
I should try all of these!
I am currently using Aveeno skin relief moisturising lotion but only for my body.
