Dry skin in the winter

[linderlizzie]

Don't forget to put body oil or cream (or a combination of both) immediately after your shower or bath, especially on areas where your skin is dry. You can even put it on while you're still wet. Your skin will absorb it and keep your skin softer and not so itchy.

Good to know.

I do that right after shower and it does help with dry skin.

I us something like Vaseline only it not, works well, set it in the bottom of the shower to get warm.

A helpful reminder, as we age we need it more than in our younger days!  I've liked using Baby oil (cream style) but can no longer find it on the shelf.  So I might try adding baby oil to another bottle of lotion from the .99 cent store and make my own (sorta)  any scent will work and it would be less expensive than purchasing and using full bottles of lotion by itself.

I am an Avon Rep so I love Skin so Soft right after showers.

That is a good reminder.  Thanks.  I try to  take the time to use my mixture of vaseline, vitamin E, shea butter, and coconut oil.  Works well.

One of the many reasons I hate winter.  My feet especially get dry.

For a few days my skin has felt like lotion would do it some good to feel better!

[judylucas]

I use coconut oil a lot

[BATISTAGIRL663]

Oh I am having the dry skin problems so bad this winter I normally use cocoa butter but I’m gonna have to find something different even my face in place it is so dry I may give Coconut oil a try I’ve heard a lot of good things about that

Always good advise to remember.  Coconut oil is particularly good.

My husband swears by goat milk soaps.  They are very soothing.  I like them too, but I do well with regular body wash and I do apply lotion following my shower.

Yes, I always change my skin/body routine during the seasons, in winter I I love any lotions with oils they tend to moisturize well.
