E45 works for me.

I like the Neal’s Yard moisturiser with Frankincense as an ingredient. They are sold in large Waitrose shops as well as online.

I have always had very dry skin and use facial oil morning and night, let it settle, then use day/night cream on top, usually the l'Oreal Rosy Glow. My favourite oils are Nuxe Prodigieuse and Beauty Pie's Plantastic Overnight Oil (this one's only affordable if you happen to have an obliging relative with a Beauty Pie subscription, as I have smile).

Hi sparkling.. A face mask made with egg white will nourish your skin... Whisk egg white till its frothy.. Apply to face and kneck. Leave for few minutes. You will feel it tightening.. Rinse off with warm water.. Protein in egg white nourishes and softened your skin

Moisturisers only sit on top of the skin so I would suggest you try something with hyaluronic acid in it. It isn’t acid as you would think but a molecule that holds moisture in the skin and so hydrates making it feel less tight. Superdrug are good on these products at a reasonable price or Boots. Also as boring as it is, try to drink more water.

Try a gentle exfoliation. St Ives brand comes to mind. I use it a couple times a month. Then, moisturise. You might find you have a "build up' of (hate to say it), dead skin cells which are holding back your moisturiser's ability to do its job?

I like Nivea Q10 for over 60s. A reasonable price too.

Me too, Sara1954
I bought Clinique last time but will go back to Clarins when this is finished (it seems to be lasting for ever!)

My vote goes to Clarins, not cheap, but worth the money.

Oh watching with interest my face is the same. I bought some L’Oréal rosy glow ,as lot of ladies on here liked it, it’s okay but my face is still tight and uncomfortable.

My skin has gone so dry and no cream seems to moisturiser it properly. Does anyone know of a reasonably priced deeply nourishing cream.
