Dry skin

What about eucerin cream? Its more expensive then other brands of lotion but i hear it really works. I work at walmart and i have customers coming in all the time saying that their dermatologist reccommended it. So it must be good.

did you try the baby oil? coz thats what i used everytime my skin is dry.. sometimes lotion didnt work.. they made our skin itchy...

I would use a good body wash for in the shower first. I use Suave Cocoa butter and shea. Lots of moisture and smells great. Then use Cocoa butter cream. It comes in a round container. It looks kinda like vasiline{pictured Below} made by Palmers. Apply to dry spots as much as you want. I used this stuff with both my pregnancys and I didnt get very many stretch marks, I was very soft, and no dry skin! And my husband{whos a mechanic} would have very soft hands! This is the best stuff ever!!

I know the problem of dry skin can drive people mad, but there is always solutions to all problems. I personally use a slice of lemon every time I go to bed. I take the slice of lemon and put it all over my feet and hands. It really helpsif you do it every evening before going to sleep. Just try it and you will be amazed by the results of this simple and natural way of treating dry skin.

External application of olive oil with some internal consumption. Use oranges, bananas, milk, tomatoes to get some good nutrition for the skin. Keep potassium, manganese iron and calcium intake up, don't cut sodium too much either since that is also part of healthy cellular function and nutrient distribution along with the other things I mentioned. Vitamins A, D, E and K are all good for skin and hair, while B vitamins are good for blood flow, energy production and improved blood flow to the skin allowing the blood to carry the nutrients better. Copper is also good as a light additive for hair and somewhat for skin, but take it with zinc in near equal proportion so your body doesn't discard one or the other. Make sure to drink 6-8 glasses of water a day. Your body does need it and it really does help keep skin very soft, hair as well. I can attest to all of it. For other externals, try some avon but be careful of bad skin reactions. When taking a new topical cream, try testing it on a part of your skin that isn't so sightly. I did the same thing with proactiv (there another factoid about me ^^). Also look for lotions with aloe and vitamin E. There are also formulas for dry and itchy skin, keep an eye for those. In most cases, using multiple lotions is not real damaging, just use them apart from each other if you feel concerned about it. Good luck Jill! If you need anything else come find me :)

I have the similar problem every year, but it is because I wash my hand very often and don't dry them good. And that is very important since it would let your hands very dry. Also you should protect your hair with gloves, if you have problem with dry skin. The best hand cream I ever have is the Nivea, but it is in the blue can. I am not sure you can buy it in usa too. also Neutrogena worked for me too.

Put some sugar into regular lotion and spread it on the area you desire. It's an exfoliator that will clear the roughness or dry skin, and leave the skin smoother. Also, any lotion with shea butter will moisturize very well.

this happened also to me.i have noticed this few days ago.thanks for remembering to get a cream a special one cause i don't like this sensation in special of dry hands

Try 1 tsp of olive oil in something you eat everyday...it could possibly help put oil back into your hands from the inside. I know my kitty used to drink the oil out of my floating candle and he had the most beautiful silky coat he had ever had before and he didn't scratch anymore. I don't have the dryness problem but olive oil is good for your health anyway.

If the cause of the ichiness is not a kind of skin allergy, and the lotion and moisturizer not effective, how about trying virgin coconut oit. It is widely being used in our place. There are some in the market but the best are those homemade virgin coconut oil. I suggest that you browse in the internet and look for on how to prepare one. It is effective, and not costly, try it.

I forgot about collagen. Collagen helps your cells, especially skin and hair maintain their elasticity. You can find some collagen based lotions in the pharmacy (though there are a few doubts of using it topically) Vitamin C is also a factor in its production, synthesis and procession. Also look for hyaluronic acid products since H acid is also crucial to skin (typically soy products).

If I can recommend you something it would be olive oil and you can use it very easy.Just apply on your hand or feet and cover with gloves or sockes.You will see how your skin would be nice while olive oil is a natural moisturizer.
