Helping Hands hand cream.

It's very greasy and lasts a long time on your skin. Don't buy it if you like your lotion to "sink in" right away. This stuff leaves a film and i LOVE IT.

I just bought baby oil. Was told to put in on IN the shower.

I seem to get bad patches where my clothes are pushed out. Hips, shoulders, thighs, etc.

That's #7 on my list of things I didn't want to know.

Try ecotrine, or something like that. It's a very thick greasy lotion

It puts the Lotion in the basket or it gets the hose again!

Drink more water, a lot more.

Chronic dry skin is often due to dehydration, excluding skin related maladies like psoriasis.

Also try using a Eucerin as a topical lotion for especially bad/scaly areas. Multiple treatments are required so buy a big bottle and use it often.

But again, increase your fluids intake as water can literally do miracles for a body and that which ails you.

winter and me = dry exterior membrane covering

I use el-cheapo bannana boat moisteriser on hands and face

4x4GGG · 12-05-2003, 03:42 AM

It's the cold. I usually pretty greasy for an irishman, but when the deep cold hits (60* T-day, 28* today) my skin and lungs take a bad beating.

No scales or anything. Just spots. Kidneys, shoulders, thighs, and the side/back just under arms under my shoulder blades.

teknisa · 12-05-2003, 03:57 AM

do not use anything with petrolium! it dries out your skin more! burts bees wax makes great hand salves. Check out your local health food store, or a place where they sell homopathic medicine. ask a clerk there. anything that is natrual will most likely help you out.

Also, try using a pumice stone on your dry areas to get the dead skin off, then moisturize when you get out if the shower

2k2BlackWRX · 12-05-2003, 04:05 AM

I was blessed with really soft skin and hands that don't try out at all...

Too bad it can be a bad thing bieng italian because my face and nose are naturally greasy.

Neutrogena makes a good one Norwegian Formula Hand Cream. Many dermatologists recommend Hydrocortizone Lotion. I think that 2% is what you can buy OTC.

speed_freak27 · 12-05-2003, 05:20 AM

I use the neutrogena hand cream and it works really well for me. I have really dry skin in the winter as well and my hands take a beating because I work with inks and chemicals as wel but if I use it a few times a day they are pretty normal. The good thing is that you only have to use a little bit for it to be effective.

Hunter S. Thompson · 12-05-2003, 05:27 AM

Might wanna try this out...

wix · 12-05-2003, 05:33 AM

If you go to see a dermatologist have him prescribe a moisturizer. Over the counter moisturizers are somewhat watered down and have perfumes in them which could cause more irritation to some dry areas. My doctor prescribed a moisturizer called Carmol and it started relieving my dry, cracked skin after the first application.

Mancini · 12-05-2003, 05:35 AM

I'm a big fan of Dove moisturizing soap. For me (eventhough I'm a greasy Italian) is taking a hot shower. The dove makes it less of a problem.

Hunter S. Thompson · 12-05-2003, 05:37 AM

Or you could just use Jerkins and forget about the dry skin.
j/k I really know nothing of moisturizers I just wanted to chop a Jergins bottle...

Hot showers will dry your skin even more.

Mancini · 12-05-2003, 05:42 AM

Erm...yeah, what I meant to say is that...hot shower = bad, dove soap + hot shower = not as bad.

razorgurl · 12-05-2003, 05:46 AM

I moisten my skin with lots of olive oil or corn oil and trap it with cotton gloves/socks (lets you keep the moisture in as well as letting your skin breathe. The next morning, my hands/feet feel wonderful...like a baby's butt!

Glass Man · 12-05-2003, 09:14 AM

Have you tried Udder Cream?

xenocide · 12-05-2003, 10:16 AM

I have dry skin it feels like fire ants are crawling on my flesh biting me when it gets bad

nothing has worked

not the baby oil shower thing
not dermatologist
went without taking showers just washed hair
drank lots a water

its cold my skin is dry im screwed

e_a_olson · 12-05-2003, 10:26 AM

I've got psoriasis. It gets wicked bad in the winter. I use Aveeno daily moisturizing lotion. It's fragrance free, so I don't walk around smelling all fruity. The tube say it works for 24 hours, but I apply it several times a day to keep my parts moisturized.

CandyO · 12-05-2003, 10:26 AM

This stuff will keep your skin moisturized ALL day. No lie.

For your face I always recommend Oil of Olay products. Nothing better.

e_a_olson · 12-05-2003, 10:27 AM

My wife used Kiss My Face, and she broke out from it. Probably just a personal reaction to it though.

Also, Eucerin cream works very well. Get the cream. It's very thick, and really seals in the moisture.

Kaiser · 12-05-2003, 10:28 AM

Nivea Creme's what I use:

And yeah, it's been murder for about a week now. My lips and fingertips are cracking like crazy.
