Best face moisturisers provide hydration and soothe sensitive skin

The moment we think of creams and lotions, we think winters. The cool breeze and the nip in the air are indicators that are colder months are here. One of the not-so-nice sides of winters is dry skin. Hence, the importance of creams. But do you know that our skin gets dry even in summers? Not many, we would reckon. However, there is a key difference - in winters, our skin is in dire need of essential oils whereas in the summers, the moisture content of the skin goes for a toss. This is mostly true of the dry regions of the country like north western Indian than, say, the coastal regions, thanks mostly to the high moisture content in the atmosphere. But it ought to be used anyway.
