Cetaphil moisturizer is usually good. You can find it at most drug stores. It's cheap, but effective.

vaseline lotions never seem to work for me, because they don't penetrate the dry skin – but their petroleum jelly works wonders if you smear some on right after getting out of the shower, then wiping the excess off with a damp wash cloth.

 

another favorite is Johnson's baby lotion, they make a "grown-up" one that's got olive leaf oil in it, and it's not too greasy though it's really good at penetrating dry skin and leaving it soft.

 

other really good one that my nephew the soldier requested while in Iraq is the Gold Bond ultimate healing lotion that comes in a tube. Very rich, sinks into skin immediately and not greasy. I think I'd recommend you try this first, I think you'll like how it works.

Drink more water, less alcohol.

Quit smoking.

Exercise.

Eat better.

Use a milder soap.

Exfoliate.

Moisturize.

 

Don't use vaseline. If you want to use something natural, use olive oil, shea and/or cocoa butter.

I second TBF's suggestions.

Smoking is the worst thing for your skin.

My partner suffers badly from eczema on his shins, and smokes a lot.... It's stress, you know.... but I advised him to stop smoking - or at least, cut down....

Within three days, his skin improved. He's also drinking more water.....

 

'Hasty' be damned. Look after your body!

Spare parts or surgery, are the less favourable options!!

I use Eucerin. I apply it before I get out of the shower. It must work, because people often compliment me by remarking on how much my face reminds them of a baby's ass.

Oh yeah, good point, I forgot that.

two cheeks with a hole in the middle that gives out gas and crap.

 

I can see the resemblance, now...

 

"TM, that's just rude and uncalled for!"

 

"I know, but I'm only kidding......!" :o

 

"Yeh well you'd better hope Hot Carl sees the joke!"

 

"Well......shucks, he started it......."

Am texting so may some typos.. First I am a dermatologist, so this is the latest resarch. You need to get CereVe. Lotion. There is a cream for on top but the LOTION is the main treatment. Will say more when I am on a real computer.

i have this problem all year round, and i've had it all my life.

 

I use a three step procedure which is the only thing i've found in all my life that works for me.

 

Firstly, when you shower or bath, use a very gentle scrub shower gel, it is the flaking skin that makes you itch so you need to remove it, but be very gentle, its a circular motion, dont rub yourself raw!!

 

Then, after that, wash the problem areas using an emolient lotion. I use E45 emolient lotion.

Its a wash cream, but it doesnt lather, it creates a barrier to stop you drying out so quickly.

 

when you get out of the shower or bath, pat yourself dry, dont rub your skin.

Then apply a moisturiser specifically for problem dry/sensitive skin.

 

i guarantee this will definately sort you out. :)
