Dry, cracked skin

gingerfamilygingerfamily member
in 2nd Trimester

My skin gets horribly dry in the winter.  I think I've tried just about every lotion under the sun.  Anyone else get this?  What do you use? I drink almost a gallon of water per day so I know I'm keepingg hydrated enough.

    I use a humidifier, and slather on Body Butter from the body shop constantly. I am still pretty dry, but nothing else really helps. O_O Sorry. Limit the hot showers, and if you can, rub down with Olive Oil afterward, and pat dry. That could help.

    I wish I could use one.  My dog would sit there all night and lick at the wet air.  She's a goof ball.  :)

    I use oil on my scalp becasue I have a condition where the skin cells grow a million times faster than normal. This helps...

    I do! The skin between my fingers will crack and bleed sometimes... It's nasty. I used Gold Bond Extra Strength Body Lotion last winter and it worked really well. I applied it everytime I'd shower or wash my hands.

    If it's in mostly concentrated areas, I'd say bust out the Vaseline. (Of course, don't expect to be able to touch anything for any length of time following said application as you'll smudge things, mess up clothing, etc.) If it's an all-over skin issue: all I can offer you is my empathy. I forever have scales, too, regardless of my best moisturizing efforts. Harumph.
