I used to love them but they discontinued my Pink Grapefruit scent and I am heartbroken. I loved the body cream in that scent! I haven't tried the triple moisture stuff; I'll have to give it a try. My legs especially are dry this time of year.

Not at all. It really doesn't take much oil, just warm it in your hands first or you'll end up with a huge mess.

Neutrogena Norwegian formula hand cream works really well for very dry hands (it's even improved cracked fingertips for me), I think for less dry hands it could probably be a bit too much. And I can recommend Avon foot cream too, it's very moisturising but not greasy. I also like Nivea (not sure if available outside Europe) shower oil because it's not as drying as normal bodywash, but I think it smells a bit strange.

I recently discovered this new Olay product that is called Shower lotion or something like that. U put it on in the shower after you use soap or shower gel. Ive noticed a big difference using that. Also baby oil is great on my legs. I live in CO and its super dry and that really helps.

SHEA BUTTER. The African miracle. I mixed pure shea butter (usually have to go to a health food store) with jojoba or avocado oil and put it on after I shower, with skin still damp and dress for bed. I wear thick cotton socks and cotton gloves to trap the moisturizing ingredients.

I give a great big second for the tip about olive oil and gloves. I even use EVOO in the shower on my legs and arms and wherever I get dry, and it really seems to soothe my sensitive skin and it soaks in and just really seems to be the closest thing to my own natural skin oils that I've found. I really believe EVOO is the best thing ever for skin. And it's not expensive at all, if you consider that a bottle of it should last you a year or longer. The expensive stuff seems to work best for me, rather than the bargain EVOO's. Don't know why.

Another thing I do that sounds gross is, after the olive oil, sometimes I glop on some plain old vaseline. It works as an occlusive agent to seal moisture into my legs which tend to get dry and uncomfortable in the winter.

If you can stand the smell (it's kind of stinky at first, but fades to a kind of feint sandalwood fragrance), The Body Shop has a really great Hemp hand lotion. My husband gets terribly dry, cracked hands and it works well for him. I didn't like the smell at first, but it's grown on me.

And there's always good old Aquaphore.

I am a fanatic with lotion! I love and vaseline brand lotion or dove. NOTHING scented. No matter what, I always, always put lotion on my full body after I take a shower. As well as every time I wash my hands I put lotion on to above my elbows. I never have dry skin. If my lips start to get dry or crackly I know I am not drinking enough water, so I chug a few cups.

Lotion is the answer.

i like dove's cream oil lotion, and i just bought olay's body wash with lotion ribbons and I have seen a marked improvement in just a week of using that soap. it's amazing- the skin on my chest was dry and flaking before and now it's not.

i just read an article somewhere that drinking water to improve skin was a myth.. can't remember where i read it though.

The past few years I've had dry skin, especially on my legs, and it gets really bad in winter. The best luck I've had is with a thick lotion or cream, lately I've been using Vaseline intensive rescue extra strength lotion. It has a nice scent (only one I avoid is the body butter of the same name). I put this on as soon as I turn the water off in the shower, even on my face (only in winter. I use a face moisturizer in the summer), then I let it soak in while I brush my teeth and brush my hair, then pat dry. A big plus with this is it makes your towel into a sort of air freshener since some of the scent from the lotion you're using will be absorbed.

I agree..bath and body works. I sometimes hate paying the price for their lotion when I can go to walmart and get a tub of lotion for half price. However the bath and body works lotion is just so much better

I know it sounds gross, but nothing works for me like good old vaseline petroleum jelly. I put it on my calves, shins and heels at night with socks. If I don't my excema starts to act up and I'll wake myself up scratching. I will second the sleeping with gloves on. I had to for years because the excema on my hands was so bad. I would lube up with either my rx or vaseline depending on how bad it was and slide on my cotton gloves before bed. I also really like the Suave vitamin E lotion. I've only been able to find it at Walmart in a big pump bottle.

I find that Aveeno works the best for dry chapped skin!!

I get unbelievably dry skin on my legs in the winter and I have a terrible time resisting hot showers. I have found eucerin to be incredibly effective.

For my feet I use Burts Bees Foot Cream (coconut mint scented). I put this on my feet at night and then put on socks. My feet feel SO soft in the morning.

As for a moisturizer raw organic coconut oil really moisturizes the body nicely.

It can also be used as a makeup remover. Deep hair conditioner. and even a shaving oil rather than a cream.
