  • I use Dove moisturizing body wash; Dove cream-oil lotion in the morning immediately after I get out of the shower, while my skin is still damp; and Burts Bees Mama Bee body butter at night before bed.   I still get some itchies but this has been my best "routine" so far.

  • mym mom got me some oil (full size free samples!) at the chocolate show this year that works well. It's from Palmers and has a chocolately smell. The main ingredient though is canola oil.. so i'm thinking I could use a bottle of wesson as a refill.... I've also been using actual olive oil.

    For daytime (don't want to oil my clothes) i use Aveeno.

     Yes!  This lotion works wonders!  I'm not a big fan of lotion because I find them to be too greasy, not work, etc., but this one is the exception!  I don't know what I'd do without it now.

  • The smell of palmers makes me want to vomit . . . and I never had any m/s.  My son has eczema and the derm recommends cetaphil (cream over the lotion but both are good for me.)
  • Curel Pregnancy and Motherhood helped me because it's thicker than original.  I also took an oatmeal bath last night and it kicked ass!

  • I normally will loofa my skin and then when I get out I use Eucerin mixed with Cocoa Butter....on my body....on my face I normally just have to use Noxzema and then I use a liquid Vitamin E on my face along with a 100% pure Cocoa Butter stick....
  • When I lived in Chicago I used Neutrogena Body Oil in the winter.  Put it on right out of the shower when skin in damp.  I don't use it now that I live in Miami because it's so humid here, even this time of year.
