I have a skin complaint so i tend to stick with a product that do not irritate my skin.The only problem is that when they change a product or they do not make it anymore them i have to find something else that is ok for my skin.What about you?

Hey jugs! I have the same problem with my skin! It tends to get very dry especially around this time of year when the weather starts getting cold. I usually use a skin lotion that has aloe in it. I find that usually keeps my skin nice and soft. I tend to use Vasoline Intensive Care with Aloe in it. It has a nice scent it and is a very nice product and does keep my skin soft.

the best thing that i have found to use on my skin is olive oil. and to help keep it soft i will add some apple cider vinegar to my bath water about once a week.

Just plain vegetable oils are the best for your feet and hands. I t seems it lasts longer and does more with no bad reactions. If you cannot find something that works, you may want to try it.

I also have the same problem. My skin is sensitive and its always dry, I apply lotion to minimize it. I only have one soap to use to minimize dryness. I use Dove soap and Belo soap, it leaves my skin moisturizers after using. When dove is not available I use Belo but if both are not, well that will be a problem. I will try other products that hopefully matches my skin type.

hi jugjugs yes I am in the same boat, very dry skin and I live in southern c a. where it hardly ever rains. I have used most of Jergens products and some other, but found that Sauve puts out an oil based moisturizing skin lotion with vanilla and lavender scent that really soothes my dry skin and is less expensive than a lot of the others.I am very sensitive to some scents so when I found this Sauave lavender and vanilla did not irritate my skin and did moisturize it I was really happy and it is not that expensive either, I really like it. and the scent does not irritate but is light and pleasant.

I probably do in the facial area and the back but not necessarily uber sensitive. it might take a few weeks try the rash or spot will go away and I can apply the new cosmetic without problem

i am usually irritated with heat so my skin become red and sometimes has rashes, especially when its summer time. So i need to always stay in the house because i am afraid of irritating my skin.

I have some dry areas on my body. I keep skin lotion on these areas especially in these drier weeks. My elbows and back are the worst. These horrible dry little prickley areas. I use baby oil sometimes warmed alittle. It really helps. Be sure you put it on soon after you pat dry from bath or shower.

I have really dry skin! It sucks big time lol. There is actually a name for my condition but it seems like I will scratch and scratch at it til my skin breaks open. Theres actually a place on my chin where theres a scar, but its getting better. I seem to notice it more and I try to lotion as much as I can!

I have very sensitive skin, and I have discovered that many product lines make unscented and hypo-allergenic soaps, lotions, make-up and such, so you can easily switch among them if one is discontinued.

I use to have soft skin all over my body, head to foot. Since moving to New Mexico I have developed dry skin. I am mostizering like crazy. However I was using this product that just seems to not be working as well as I wish. Now I found Dove Cream Oil that seems to work great. So hopefully I will get my soft skin back soon.

I sometimes get dry spots on my elbows and hands and even my knees. I have a few medicated creams I brought and alternate using them on my dry spots. They seem to be working very well.
