The winter months can be rough on your skin. The air is dry and the sun isn’t as strong as it is during other times of year, so it’s easy for your skin to get chapped. I’ve found a wonderful healing ointment as a remedy for this problem that has been working well for me, and I wanted to share it with you!
Perfect for dry, chapped and cracked skin
Finding something that is safe for my allergic contact dermatitis and sensitive skin is always the first priority for me. While there are several protective ointments on the market, this one created by CeraVe is free from my allergens. It has been listed as top free by SkinSafe, a company I trust to help me find safe products.
Using CeraVe Healing Ointment as an ointment for chapped lips during winter weather has been a huge help for me. It is an all around BEST option for sensitive skin. It’s non-greasy, fast-absorbing and contains three essential ceramides to help restore the protective function of skin.
This healing ointment is formulated to temporarily protect, soothe, and hydrate skin. It can be used on dry and cracked skin, or as a barrier cream for external irritants. It contains ceramides which help restore and maintain the skin’s natural barrier. The hyaluronic acid helps retain moisture. It also is non-comedogenic, preservative-free and has dye-free ingredients.
The CeraVe Healing Ointment also has a seal from the National Eczema Association. Many recognize this as an exaple of a safe product for eczema and sensitive skin. The ointment forms a protective layer and really helps our skin’s natural moisture barrier function. I was impressed to read that CeraVe states it can last for up to 8 hours.
Perfect for families
This protective healing ointment is also perfect for families. It can be used on both kids and adults, including infants. You can use it for diaper rash (I used this a lot for my daughter), cradle cap and other skin conditions. The ointment is also safe to use around the eyes and won’t cause irritation.
I keep a tube of this in my purse, my car, the junk drawer and even in the kid’s backpacks. They love it. It’s used in our house to heal up boo boos, chapped lips, dry cheeks and hands, and literally everything in between. I’m constantly asked, mom… where is the blue tube? Your family will love it!

Oh my goodness! I was reading this and it just resonated with me. I have had a 6 week allergy flare that has got me so down. Going for patch testing in 2 weeks. The guilt around thinking you have been around or taken something is so strong. Thank you for writing this blog.
