Dry Skin?????
Dry skin problems respond well to self-care measures, such as using moisturizers and avoiding long, hot showers and baths. If you have very dry and scaly skin, your doctor may recommend you use an over-the-counter cream that contains lactic acid or lactic acid and urea.





In a more serious skin diseases, such as ichthyosis or psoriasis, your doctor may prescribe prescription creams and ointments or other treatments in addition to home care.





Dry skin leads to dermatitis, which causes red, itchy skin. In these cases, treatment may include hydrocortisone-containing lotions. If your skin cracks open, your doctor may prescribe wet dressings with mildly astringent properties to contract your skin and reduce secretions and prevent infection.

Reply:Try buying moisture for the shower, like Aveno body wash. You can find that at a drug store or Walmart. Once your done using soap, lather the moisture and use it on your legs. Then once you get out use lotion for extreme dry skin.
Reply:Before you shower use a dry exfoliating glove (every 2nd day) on your dry parts. Then shower with a moisturizing soap or body wash.


After you pat yourself dry, put some Neutrogena moisturizer on. I use the hand cream in the summer on my legs, and in the winter I use the foot cream. Its not as gross as it sounds and works really well.
Reply:I would use aveno or dove for dry skin
Reply:You should try Baby Oil Gel. I keep it in the shower and rub it all over after I dry off.


Then I put an old pair of sweats or something that wont get ruined on and proceed to get ready.


My skin shines all day and night. It feels so soft.
Reply:Here are a few tips for you:


Take short, warm (never HOT) showers as this will dry your skin out even more.


Use a mild soap like Purpose, it won't dry you out.


Put on good heavy moisturizer within a minute of getting out of the shower...Eucerin and Aquaphor are both really good, apply them often. Reapply at bedtime.


Use a humidifier in the winter.


Drink 6-8 glasses of water each day to keep well hydrated.





If you don't have any success, you might ask a dermatologist for further advice.
