What’s the best thing to help the “winter” dry skin problem?
Mrs Noel ♥6/19/2010♥ asked:
It’s getting to the point where I don’t shave as much as I need to. Kind of gross, I know, but I don’t really have a choice. I’ve tried everything from Johnson’s Baby Lotion to Jergens, but the lotions just make it burn. (Have it on my back and legs mostly…looks like I had an allergic reaction to something.) The only thing that I can put on it that I already have is baby oil, but I don’t really want to have to lather up with that every day.
The baby oil is the only thing I can put on it that won’t burn, but it doesn’t help in clearing it up.

Curel winter lotion works the best! Ali L
Yeah, I have Johonsons too-no good. It doesn’t get the job done. I’ve had the best results with neutrogena.. Stuff works wonders! hello1
Johnson & johnson gel baby oil and eveeno cream helps together. Try it Sweetbpecan
Aveeno is very tolerant for sensitive skin but it doesn’t provide that much hydration the skin needed. I use Palmers Cocoa Butter, scents free for sensitivi skin and it does really god for hydrating even the very dry flaky skin. jezzebel_popflower
Try things with aloe. its a natural erb. there are lotions with that in it. it should save you alot of trouble Steve
id you have no open sore of any kind……..lac-hydrin 5 is a godsend, it removes all the dead skin. literally. im using it right now, and now i have baby soft skin! its expensive though, 13 bux for 8 ounces. this also come in perscription strength. lac hydrin 12 percent. imalickyouallover69
Have you tried corn huskers lotion? I have severely dry skin, and didn’t like to use much lotion when I was younger, which resulted in my hands cracking open and bleeding. Mom went through just about every lotion known to man until she found this stuff; it’s sort of a clear, gel-like lotion, and it doesn’t smell the greatest, but once it’s on you don’t notice. It healed my hands up in a couple of months, and now to keep it from coming back I use lotions that contain aloe or are specifically marked for sensitive skin. JL
Yeah I’d also say extra virgin olive oil (honestly it’s so moisturising). Or you could try brazil nut body butter, cocoa butter or shea butter from the body shop.
Good luck with the winter skin blues! ellietricitycat
you need to be sure to exfoliate the dead skin and use a hypo-allergenic moisturizing cream, soap, etc. for the full body treatment… if you’re skin’s the sensitive may be worth a trip to the dermatologist for a prescription.. skin gets hammered in the winter months the dry air is just the worst! also, keep a humidifier on in your home… helps keep moisture in as well.. thenakats
its called vaseline advanced healing, alot of lotions bother me but this one is great and it moistuirzes REALLY well, i hope it works! tinkerbellgrl114
Applyolive/ coconut oil n wash it of with mild soap gelafter20 minutes. Aahaa
Olay quench is good for dry skin–although a bit expensive for a lotion. Try Johnson’s creamy baby oil. It absorbs fast, and really does the job. When you are bathing, try something with shea butter, or coco butter–Palmers, or the like. Vaseline(petroleum jelly) to hands and feet before bed, and cover with socks and gloves, do this once or twice a week, it will keep hands and feet baby soft. Hope it helps! JoJo
Palmer’s Cocoa butter cream or lotion. Can be found in dollar stores, is dirt cheap, gentle, and you will smell good enough to eat. Doctors recommend it for scar tissue and stretch marks. Moisturize while you are damp from bathing/showering. Best not to overbathe in winter. Olive oil is another wonder. If your skin is extremely sensitive right now ask the pharmacist. Once skin improves just stay in the routine. A humidifier might help too. mythisjones
You should try euricine lotion. It’s about $10 but well worth it for people who have dry skin or ezema. michellandhashi
Try hand and body lotion from L’Bri Pure n’ Natural Skin Care. Aloe is the first ingredient (instead of mineral oil or water like most lotions) so it absorbs into your skin and is totally gentle and moisturizing. The rest of the ingredients are minerals, herbs and botanicals. It’s amazing stuff. Check it out at suenelson.lbri.com. Good luck! Sue N
One of the best lotion in my opinion for dry skin is Atopalm or Zenmed skin care. It’s has very rich moisturizing properties and is one of the best seller at skintore.com which holds more than 15,000 skin are items.
