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.

Chapped lips
Kelly in Bentonville, Arkansas USA -Burt's Bees Wax chapstick is the best product I have found for chapped lips. As soon as you apply it to your lips, you start to feel a cooling sensation and it really feels like it is working right away. My lips end up going from very chapped with some of the skin peeling off, to very soft and supple.

Dry cracked hands
Michelle in usa -Soak your hands in salted room temp water for 10 to 15 minutes. I use about 5 cups of water and 1 1/2 to 2 TLBS. salt. If hands are really cracked and bleeding this procedure may sting but the more the sting the better the salt is working. Next... remove hands from water and AIR dry. Apply 100% pure almond oil (size of a dime) into hands. Cover hands with cotton gloves. I do this just before bed and I sleep with the gloves all night. When I awake in the morning the open wounds on my hands have all but disapeared and my hands are smooth. Hope this works for you as well. You can get the cotton gloves at Wal-Mart and the Almond oil I found in a health store.

Dry skin-relief that works
Patrice in Pittsburgh,PA -I use Glove'n Care hand cream on every inch of my body that dry skin appears. It is great for getting rid of my dry hands caused by the constant hand washing I do at school. I also use it on my elbos and behind my knees when my eczema flares up. It really works and i find a tube lasts me roughly2-3 months! It is made from the natural waters of the dead sea and has a ton of natural oils in it.

Glycerin soap
terri g in warren ri -Glycerin soap made from vegetable oils won't dry your skin and it rinses off completely. So the skin stays soft and it's great for people with skin problems,such as exzema. keeps flares at bay. The brand name soaps don't rinse off therefore drying the skin and aggravating the rash. (any pharmacy).
