moisturisers

Creams for dryness

Moisturisers are cosmetic products applied to skin to prevent dryness and maintain softness.

They work by trapping water in the outer layer of skin or adding oils to replace what's lost.

The term covers creams, lotions, and ointments for face, hands, or body: She keeps moisturisers in every room of the house.
