Since I have very sensitive skin, I use Clean and Clear Oil-Free moisturiser because 1. It is very cheap 2. It is hydrating 3. It doesn't irritate the skin 4. It doesn't worsen my breakouts. I use this every winter. My skin feels super smooth, soft and healthy after every use. After using this moisturizer, I can put my makeup on effortlessly. Sandhya Raghavan

I have been using Nivea face cream since the past several years. It is super effective for my combination skin. It is not sticky and stays for around 6-8 hours. It doesn't emit a strong fragrance but has a mild, pleasant one which I really like. My mother uses this moisturizer too and even at this age, she has smooth skin and hardly any wrinkles. So I know I am on the right track. Bhavya Chilukoti

Here is how to select a good moisturizer.

I picked up The Body Shop Pinita Colada moisturiser last year and was super impressed by it. Even though it is a body butter, it works amazingly well for my face. I have normal skin. The moisturizer feels more like a baby cream and my skin is more supple and softer after use. Tania Tarafdar

I love Lakme Peach Milk winter moisturizer. It keeps my skin supple and completely gets rid of any dryness. The cream doesn t leave any sticky residue. I have oily skin and I can swear by this cream.

Nivea face cream, hands down. No matter how old I grow, where I reside, how many more moisturizers come in the market, I will always use Nivea. In winter, my skin gets so dry, it becomes flaky. But when I put Nivea regularly, I never face this problem.

I don t use any fairness products. I was looking for a good winter moisturizer in a store and got a free sample of Lotus Whiteglow skin whitening gel cream. I decided to try it out. I was so impressed with its gentle moisturizing that I decided to get it. It s so good for my skin, I use it not just in winter, but throughout the year. It prevents my skin from drying out and lends a nice glow. Swapna Chidambaram
