Cascadia Soap's hand and body salve
Nellie Vlaar in Vancouver British Columbia -
This stuff is the only thing that works for my dry cracked heels. I use a pumice stone in the shower and while my skin is still wet, I apply a small amount of the shea butter salve. Within a week my heels look amazing.

Best OTC Skin Cream for Dry, Cracked Skin
Writer4life in Utah -Popular in the mountain desert community where I live, Aquaphilic with Carbamide 10% is an economical and effective way to treat dry skin.
It is especially effective in healing cracks around fingernails and the bottom of the feet. I have used this particular formula for 12 years.
Aquaphilic with Carbamide 10% is an over-the-counter product sold mostly at pharmacy counters. If your local pharmacy doesn't carry it, ask to special order it. Be sure to specify the Carbamide 10%.
For a 16-ounce jar, expect to pay around $13. It lasts a long time.

Neutrogena Body Emulsion Lotion
Leslee in Michigan -Neutrogena Body Emulsion is the only lotion I have ever used that works for me and I have tried them all. Tea Tree oil soap also helps and its the only soap I'll use and my skin is extremely dry especially in the winter, it cracks but not anymore.

Eucerion PLUS Intensive Repair Hand Creme
Asirb Uhz in Holmdel, NJ USA -Go out and buy PLUS Intensive Repair Hand Creme from Eucerin, who specializes in dry skin. It says on the bottle "alpha hydroxy and extra enriched moisturizers heal and soften without a greasy feeling." It does actually work. My knuckles used to be so dry and cracked (and sometimes bleeding), but now they're so smooth. Cannot believe how smooth they are, actually.

Bathing habits
Ken in Bella Vista, AR -Dry skin is worse in the winter time, and can easily be helped by showering or bathing less often, and/or taking shorter showers with cooler water.
A doctor told me long ago that we wash away our natural oils by over-showering or bathing. I still shower daily, just quicker and cooler.
Saves water and energy too!

Solution for sensitive skin
Jazz in California -
Oil based products WILL not help if you apply them to an acne prone face.
When I moved to an are with high altitude, and drier air, my face, hands, and legs ALL became scaly and dry.
For my face I used a gentle green tea moisturizer, applying it as soon as my face began to feel tight or itchy. Natural products will always be the best, and the safest.
My hand and legs I gently scrubbed with warm water and a wash cloth. After a soft towel dry, I applied a Shea butter lotion. I would suggest doing this right before you go to bed, then sleeping with long pants and gloves to prolong the effectiveness of the shea butter.
For acne prone skin...DO NOT rub, or touch your face after applying the shea butter. You will experience break outs.
Wash your hands before touching face.

Dry skin ? Check Thyroid
S. N. in Texas -
Many times the extreme dryness in your skin can point to a systemic problem. Many vitamin deficiencies can cause this. I know a lady who has battled severely dry skin most of her life and she finally ended up with cellulitis because of the cracking and she went to a doctor and he asked if she had been tested for thyroid issues and found out that she has an underactive throid.

help for cracks/splits on fingers
cindy in okla -I happened on this by chance. Apply the "medicated" lip balm, any brand to cracks or splits on finger tips or knuckles. Heals up within a couple of days. I also will apply hand lotion first, then the lip balm. I do this right before I go to sleep.
