Everyone has different skin types, so what might work for one person is not best for someone else. Typically, you want to use heavier oils and butter for dry skin such as cocoa butter, sweet almond oil, and shea butter. In the winter, I use this rose cream as my skin gets much drier. In the summer, I prefer this moisturizing lotion recipe. It uses lighter oils, grapeseed and sunflower oil, that will moisturize the skin without feeling too heavy.
