Dry skin

What are you all using for dry skin?  My skin is so dry and ichy and everything that I try is not working.

  • Sleeping with a humidifier might help, too.

  • Cocoa butter, olive oil/Coconut or Walnut and Vitamin E oil. I put vitamin E oil on my belly while I shower and at night I soak in oil in the bath tub.

  • Dove lotion and dove body wash.  I LOVE the smell.

    Dove lotion and dove body wash.  I LOVE the smell. 

    oh that dove exfoliating body wash is the best thing ever. i was using dial soap then switched to dove because it really is more moisturizing. i can feel the difference. i lotion up all day long and still have dry patches of skin.  if they get flaky then i might put some type of ointment on it but i haven't really found anything to get rid of it. i drink tons of water. i dont know what else to do but chalk it up to pregnancy.

  • Me and DH give each other massages with Aveeno Stress Relief Lotion . . . It's pretty nice . . . and then I cover my belly with Vitamin E belly butter . . . Just to ward of stretch marks . . :o)
  • Ditto the Eucerin. it works wonders! I had such bad dry skin the last pregnancy (also through the winter) and I panicked thinking it was stretch marks everywhere. Just terrible dry skin so the Eucerin has been wonderful.

  • I use jergens extra dry lotion. And Marykay on my face.

  • Eucerin! And if it's super dry, or you start getting eczema or red itchy patches, use Cetaphil cream (the generic brand works just as well!).

  • Gold Bond Ultimate Softening Lotion.  https://www.goldbond.com/gold-bond-products.html Seriously.  Doesn't have the icky Gold Bond smell, and it is hands down the best moisturizer I have ever used in my life.  My mom randomly got it for me one winter a couple of years ago, and I've sworn by it ever since for when my skin is that awful itchy sort of dry. 
    *tap tap* Is this thing on?
