Help! Need moisturiser for dry perimenopausal skin with seb deem

[paleowoman]

Can any fellow seb derm sufferers help? I have never really needed to use a moisturiser but all of a sudden my skin is very dry and I want to use something. However the one I used has totally made the seb derm bits worse I am not sure if it was the essential oils in it or just oils but it really hasn't helped. Any suggestions? I used to prefer green ish type products but from what I can read I perhaps need an oil free moisturiser and that sometimes natural products aren't always the best for seb derm??

Thanks!

I use aveeno cream.

Thanks, which one is it? Is it for facial skin or a general lotion? Aveeno was one that I wondered about x

This one but it's cheaper in Boots or super drug

There's lotions as well which are also good and different types,ive used them all and all good.

Thank you!

Thank you!

I just started using irritable skin balm by a brand called moogoo. I have Seb derm and this is brilliant. I'm not sure how moisturising it is though. It's a thick cream that sinks in very well but I have slightly oily skin and it doesn't make me too greasy.

Granny had this: zinc creams helped with this a lot as it helped keep the yeast under control that caused the Seb derm. I cannot recommend one as I don't remember which one.
And washing body and everywhere with ketoaconazole soaps and shampooseant it was much more under control but I guess you already know that!

I use bio oil at night made a real difference and Nivea in the morning

Thanks! I got the Aveeno one this evening. It feels like a great cream so far.

I love the moo goo creams too and find all their products really helpful but didn't find them moisturising enough for the rest of my face. I will use the irritable balm cream alongside the Aveeno which hopefully won't cause any problems to the seb derm bits.

I remember my granny using zinc oxide creams too. Sometimes, I noticed that sun tan lotion helped so maybe it was the zinc oxide in that - I will look into this

Thanks again x

That's a really good point about the sun cream - sudocrem would be a bit much!

Sudocrem is great at night, all the teens use it!
