Good question. I have just been using extra lotion. I wonder if a touch of some kind of an oil might me usefull too?

If you believe in alternative medicine, then follow this. If not, you don't have to. Its just a suggestion.

There are 12 tissue salts in homeopathic medicine. They say these salts are found in every cell in the body and when the balance of any one salt is disturbed, the body shows symptoms of sickness.

One cell salt, nat mur (sodium chloride) is responsible for distribution of water throughout the body. Lack of this salt leads to over dry skin in some parts of the body. Also another symptom is a craving for salty foods.

Nat mur is available in health food stores. Costs under $10 and is worth a try.
No possible side effect and a possible cure for your problem.

Good luck....
If you do try it and it works, let me know....

Try burt's bees apricot baby oil mixed with vitamin e oil from pharmacy or health food store. (do 2/3 baby oil 1/3 e oil) it is amazing, especially around eye area.

Hey holly, I have been burning the midnight oil. Been going to bed around 4 am and getting 5 hours sleep. Also been smoking now and then.
I am starting to develop a slight circle under my left eye.
Did you try this remedy (baby oil and vit e) yourself and did it do something for the eye area?

Thanks for the tip!

P.S.
Meant to add that baby oils contain synthetic mineral oils and seem to make the skin just as dry, in the long run.
Look for pure, plant based baby or massage oils;
Buxom.

I have a great remedy for dry skin, whipped shea butter, which lasts me all winter, questions?

try castor oil its cheap and it lasts long time, also good on stretch marks,too let me know

I have 2 suggestions:

Vanicream: My dermatologist recommended it for very dry skin. It's a thick cream and has no additives. The only place I've been able to buy it is behind the counter at Sam's Club Pharmacy. But you do not need a prescription.

Sweet Almond Oil: Yes this is an oil, but I love how soft it makes my skin feel. It can be purchased at a health store as a massage oil. However, I get mine at a better grocery store from the cooking oil area. I like that one due to it's purity. As a matter of fact, Sweet Almond Oil is used as a basis for many lotions and creams. It also makes for a great lubricant for sex.

I use a product called midlife ease by Jarrow Formulas. I have used every topical treatment out there from drug store brands to natural products to prescription products. None worked and most aggravated the situation and make it worse. I did my research and came to the conclusion that the itch was hormonal and tried this product. Works like a charm. I am now itch free and have more lotions, moistuizers, creams and potions than I can use in my life time!

I met someone that sells goat milk soap. So i think this is BS but i told her that i needed something extra and she made me special bars with MUCH goat mild and loads of Shea butter with HEmp oil........she is a nurse and I tried it and it was MAGIC!

She will make a special soap with an e-mail from the web store.....(I asked and she told me whe would love the biz)....but anyway order and send an e-mail.....use it for a week......sheck it out....there is no real problem......

Good luck!

I encountered this Aubrey Organics skincare line at an event I attended. I'd been familiar with their company for years, but had not ever tried their products until recently.

I have very dry skin - to the point that it flakes off my face like dandruff (I know that is gross). But it's combination skin. On a rare occasion, it will break out like oily skin. So, the woman I spoke to gave me a free travel kit for their Blue Green Algae line and in two days, my face felt like a baby's butt. No kidding. I've since bought full-size bottles and can't live without it. It's been a wonderful - truly wonderful - product to use.

I really suffer every winter especially from cracking skin round my thumb and after years (literally) of trying different products I found a company on the internet called Porter's Lotion and their original lotion has made an enormous difference to both thumb and heels. They also do lots of other lovely things too.

I have personally formulated this product and it will hydrate dry skin, while improving the health of the skin.
