Dry Skin

I am looking for a lotion/cream/oil etc., for seriously dry non-facial skin. This is for skin that is so dry that a “hue of white” forms over it soon after application of even the most popular dry skin remedies. Please share. Thanks.

Re: Dry Skin

Jergens Shea Butter.

I used anything and everything from olive oil, aloe vera to the best of moizturizers when I burnt my skin a few months ago. My skin was peeling off so you can imagine how ridiculously dry it had gotten. I couldn’t sleep at nights because it always felt so stretchy and dry :frowning: And then I was at walmart and bought this lotion only because it was on sale and omg, it only took TWO days for my skin to start showing improvements. Every other person at my work has bought it after I told them such great things about it :blush:

Re: Dry Skin

Also try Lubriderm, that works well too. Have you tried Cocoa Butter?

Re: Dry Skin

I have tried both Lubriderm and Cocoa Butter. Good but I need a little bit more heavy duty.

Re: Dry Skin

does majorly dry skin usually itch a lot or does that usually mean allergies or a rash is present? many times even if I put baby lotion on, after an hour it's back to being dry and itchy

Re: Dry Skin

i have very severe allergies and baby lotion or oil has never worked. i think it's intentionally very mild since it's to suit a baby.

Re: Dry Skin

this sounds like a jergens shea butter commercial on tv:D

but you convinced me, i’m going to give it a try since i’ve heard so much about shea butter but never knew what it was. :slight_smile:

so I hope it takes care of the itchiness too

Re: Dry Skin

I find E45 and Vaseline Intensive Care works on dry skin conditions. Or contact your GP for a specialised prescribed lotion/cream - i.e. Oilatum.

Re: Dry Skin

Thanks Dushwari, I think I need a prescription.

Shay, I tried the Jergens religiously for 2 days, but my skin is still painfully dry…:bummer: It felt so good but I think I need medical attention. Thanks so much though!

Re: Dry Skin

This shea butter is good for the body as well? It doesnt make you feel like you’ve got a thick layer of gunk on you, does it?

And Niksik- thats Sanam, not Dushi.. same avatars so thats what threw you off :cb:

Re: Dry Skin

Sabriya, I hear that shea butter is excellent for the body. No, it absorns quite well but my problem is more severe.

And oh, sorry Sanam! SOOOOOORRY! I just saw the avatar…:smack:

Which celebrity have you been told you look like?

Re: Dry Skin

I have SEVERE dryness on my body, like crazyyy to the point where my skin has changed colors, and IM still not going to the derm for fear of bad news! :smack:

Do you think maybe you have eczema?

Re: Dry Skin

after a bth while the skin is still orta wet, apply some thick emolient cream like a shea butter( I use Bath and body work's "romance" shea butter for the kds skin as both of them have dry skin) It helps.Also Nivea has some really heavy lotins.Cetaphil also is a good brand. Apply creams t least 2 times in a day. Dermologist also recommended to use a water spray on the most driest parts and then apply cream again.Also drinks lots and lots of water:)

Re: Dry Skin

Hmmm. That sounds good Ask99. Maybe I should try that before going to the doc???:confused: I hate making a trip to the doc’s office anyway.

Off to Bath & Body Works tonight…
