Derms Rank The Best And Worst Anti-Aging Moisturizers For Dry, Wrinkled Skin Over 40 This Winter: Neutrogena, More

Just as you put away shorts and swimsuits to prepare for sweater weather, your skin also deserves a little preparation in time for the winter. Plunging temperatures and elements like harsh winds and dry air can leave your skin dryer than usual, parched and in need of extra hydration. But not all moisturizers will work on all skin types.

The worst overall moisturizers for ALL skin types contain harsh ingredients like drying alcohols or fragrances that can cause sensitive skin to become irritated. But the worst moisturizer for YOU is the one that does not suit your skin type and is therefore going to only cause more damage than it’s worth. If, for example, you are using a moisturizer that is heavy and contains many oils on already oily skin, you could cause breakouts. If your skin is naturally dry and you use a formula that’s too thin, like most gel-based moisturizers, you won’t give it the moisture it needs and you may still see signs of dryness like peeling skin.

You need a moisturizer that appeals to your individual skin needs. According to one dermatologist, these are the best anti-aging moisturizers for skin over 40 this winter.
