Thyroid problems, because they affect cell turnover, seem to wreak particular havoc on the skin, causing dryness, dullness, and puffiness. I've never been particularly impressed by any skin care products -- even the costly department store stuff. But now, in my 40s, and seeing the effects of age and thyroid-related dryness, I've had to break down and develop a regular "skin care regimen." And so I can honestly tell you that I've become a huge fan of a new Olay product, Definity Foam Moisturizer.
It's a nice, light moisturizer that goes on not as a greasy lotion or thick cream, but as a smooth foam. What I really love, though, is that I'm finding it brightens up dull-looking skin, gives it a bit of a dewy, brighter look, and helps fade some of the blotchy spots. (I liked the sun too much in my younger days.) I sound like an ad, but honestly, it's working...
You can get it online, and at most drugstores and supermarkets.
