Fish oil supplements!

I like to moisturize my skin from the inside. You are what you eat... I also take daily Vitamin E supplements as well as a multivitamin. Maybe what you're missing is in your diet.

Where the heck do you buy shea?

The best thing for very dry skin is an oil based lotion. Olive oil works well too and it's easier to find...and you don't have to make it.
