Best facial moisturizer for very dry skin & best body lotion for very dry skin?
My skin on my body is very dry (ashy) any suggestions for a great body lotion that will solve this problem (I have tried Curel & St. Ives)?
The skin on my face is also very dry, what's a good facial moisturizer for very dry skin that tends to flake when I put foundation on?
Thanks so much!

What is the best cure for extra dry, scaly skin [body, not face]?
The skin on my body [especially my legs] is extra dry. I exfoliate regulary and use thick creams and lotions, but nothing seems to help. Got any ideas?
I do shave my legs, but I use shaving cream and I'm very gentle.
I don't have excema.
Actually thick products do not absorb or moisturize. Avoid anything with alcohol. Lanolin is good. Drink water, moisturize from the inside that way. Some waters are hard and dry your skin, you have to put any product on right after your bath. Baby oil while showering is great and so are things like Epsom salt, believe it or not, and it is cheap, without perfumes and drying agents that they add to them and sell to people for 10 times the money by calling them bath salts! So, simple is better. Look up home remedies for dry skin on the Internet and you will be surprised how simple some of them are.
For acne or blemishes use witch hazel. It's cheap, astringent and non drying. Most products cause you more problems and dry you out so you have to spend more money. Good luck!

What is the best moisturizing body wash for super dry skin?
My skin is soo dry that it itches, hurts and cracks! I have been using Dove Body Soap in that Green bottle for a long time and it seems to do nothing for my skin. I need a body wash that will moisturize my skin really good. It really needs it.
Thank you <3
Get some 'Baby-bath liquid soap - they are very mild and do not irritate your skin.
The most important part ist the moisturizing cream you have to use after every shower. These you have to try out yourself.
I would suggest a very rich, for extra dry skin, lotion.
Does not have to be expensive, Vaseline makes some good products.
Make sure you put the moisturizing lotion on your skin when it is still a bit damp, after you towel-dry. Don't wait till your skin is bone dry.
You are welcome <3

Any recomendations for a good body moisturizer for dry skin?
I've never needed a body lotion before, my body wash was enough to keep the dry skin away, but the last couple of weeks my legs and arms have been quite flakey . Any ideas on what I can use to soften/remove the dryness? I'm on a student budget so nothing too expensive please
Moisture, moisturize, moisturize! this is the way to beat dry skin. use an all natural skin care moisturizer, this can be safe and effective to protect the skin from moisture robbers like dry air, humidity and other factors that can cause skin damage.
there are many things simple things to do to have clear and healthy skin, one is to drink plenty of water, this can keep the skin hydrated, likewise, eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.
have healthy habits and avoid bad habits such as smoking and too much alcohol drinking, this can make the skin dry. enough rest. sleep and good program of exercise can help make the skin look at its best.

Unbalanced oily skin (too oily face and too dry body skin)?
My face is too oily that I have to wash with oily skin facial wash many times a day. But my body skin is too dry that I occasionally got static shock from clothings and furnitures. Is it a common condition or is there a way to balance the oiliness for the whole body? I know I could use some lotion for the dry skin but I wonder if I can improve by medication or change of diet.
thx
oily skin??and u're washing it sooo many times a day.....this will only make your skin furthur oily as when all the oil is taken off from skin your skin feels that it needs to produce more oil......wash ur face twice a day with an oil free cleanser.......and drink atleast 8 glasses of water a day........this is the one and only solution for oily skin,

what is the best body lotion for dry skin?
I have really really dry skin. My face is dry, my arms, and my legs are too. I also have little red bumps all over my body. I just want smooth skin. Do you know the BEST lotion for me to use? Thanks.
Thanks everyone for you great answers!! :-)
I really like Suave brand Oatmeal formula. It is creamy, not oily and oatmeal is naturally good for your skin anyway. It absorbs into the skin fast and makes it soft too. It is also inexpensive, about $2 a bottle and you can find it anywhere.
Protect Your Skin With Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion Beauty is Easy (blog)
During the cold dry months of the year, I reach for thick, heavy creams to help fight dry skin. My husband also suffers from dry skin, but he hates applying lotion. Something about the greasiness gives him the heebie-jeebies. He’d rather suffer (and complain) through dry, cracked elbows and itchy skin than apply lotion. So when I got Skin MD’s Natural Shielding Lotion , I gave it to him to test out first. The reason being that this lotion is super lightweight and gel-like – no greasiness at all. And I thought we could see how it’d do on his super dry skin.
The lotion was a hit! He loved the consistency of the formula and has been gladly applying it for days. But despite the light and thin formula, it has actually done a better job of keeping his skin moisturized than heavier lotions. His elbows are looking human again. The neutral, light scent is also a big plus – as he says, “it isn’t girly.”
The company says the Shielding takes place when the lotion “absorbs, transforming the outer layer of skin into a hydrating invisible shield.” It’s also paraben, color and fragrance free and can be used on the hands and face as well as the body. Come sunnier weather, they also have a version that contains SPF 15. Check out this link to score yourself some free samples. And keep your eye out for the giveway this weekend, where one lucky winner will get to check out a full sized bottle of this lotion.

Have dry skin? - Tips for skin care for winter
Winter can be terrible on the skin, the cold makes your skin is dry, and that literally sucks the moisture from the skin, leaving tight and itchy and uncomfortable. Fine lines begin to look deeper and it seems rough and scaly skin, frankly just makes you feel miserable, but thanks to God for modern technology you can actually buy a heating unit that is not very expensive to keep out the cold his house, bones and skin. These humidifiers come in all shapes and sizes and can be placed in almost every room of your house, and the good news is that we must be sure that you will be able to afford. You should moisturize your face and body with a thick moisturizing cream or lotion during the day when you feel it is becoming dry skin, and also after the rain. You must also use an oil-based supplements such as cod liver oil or linseed oil to moisturize your body from within. You should drink at least eight glasses of water per day and that helps keep the skin from dehydration and is also good for your overall health. This piece of advice may sound weird but it is recommended that you use a sunscreen during the winter months, because ultraviolet rays can be intense, even on a cloudy day, so you should choose a sunscreen that blocks UVA and UVB rays. Use gentle cleanser on the face because it is more sensitive than other parts of the body. You should use a gentle body scrub to exfoliate your skin to get rid of dead skin cells created leaving a layer of fresh looking skin can be safely moisturize. (more…)
