Vaseline Hand and Nail Lotion
Cheap, smells yummy and good. I personally find it very good and non-oily.
Oh and Vaseline's site says: Its conditioning moisturizers are fast absorbing and non-greasy. It nourishes with moisture to help leave palms, fingertips and knuckles soft, cuticles smooth and nails strong.Really dry skin onmy hands, please recommend a good hand cream!?
here is a great remedy for dry skin
Add a few drops of lemon juice to 1/2 an avocado, and mash. Apply to clean skin and allow to remain for 20 minutes. Then remove with some tissue, and splash the skin with cold, then warm, water.
also jergens lotion works very well and it is cheapReally dry skin onmy hands, please recommend a good hand cream!?
you can use a Slatkin hand cream. it comes in those black , big tubes.
you can also use Vaseline petroleum jelly with that. its sure to hydrate your skin. you can also rub some Indian ghee on your hands and any spot which needs hydration.
I use Lotil moisturising cream, I get it from chemists (not on prescription). Some places don't have it though, otherwise yeah vaseline intensive care cream is good. I get really dry skin on my hands as well so I know how frustrating it is!
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula, I Always use it and on my face and body, it's a great all over moisturiser and it's really thick and doesn't leave greasy residue. It isn't overpriced either.
victorias secret
its in a pink bottle as says hand cream its the most amazing stuff ever its thick and actualy stays on a slight smell but nothing over powering.
Slap on some palmers cocoa butter and than some vaseline or petroleum jelly. It'll make the cocoa butter sink in deeper. Make sure after a while to wipe the vaseline off though
Soak your hands in olive oil, and then rub sugar all over your hands. Stay like that for around 10 mins. Then woash it off with water(not soap!) Next day you will have the smoothest softest hands ever!
I use vaseline intensive care, works really well for me.

Anyone know a good cream to heal and repair dry cracked skin caused by Dishydrosis Eczema?
Because you have eczema, your skin may be very sensitive to most creams. Try Eucerin cream or Cetaphil cream. Both are commonly recommended by dermatologists for eczema patients. (If you live near an Albertson's grocery store, their Albertson's Dry Skin Cream is half the price and the same as Eucerine. Walgreen's generic is too dry, in my opinion.)Anyone know a good cream to heal and repair dry cracked skin caused by Dishydrosis Eczema?
Superglue is great for fixing the cuts/fissure from this, too. Report Abuse

bag balm
its depend type of which crack skin ..egzama has 2 sort sympton.
i see to fit closer of cure for you ..get mupirisin cream or steroid combined cream..go to thermal springs when is therapy get late
A prescription called Triamcinolone Acetonide is a very successful cream. Also, as per my husband's dermatologist, he is to use the aforementioned cream but at night he is to use common petroleum jelly on his hands and then put cotton gloves over it. We live in the desert and my feet were cracking. I used the petroleum jelly remedy and now, no more cracks.

Best cream for dried skin on face?
Something I can buy from the store, not something I have to order over the internet or have to hunt down and some health store.
I have some facial hair removed every few weeks, and often times when it starts to grow back in it hurts badly especially since my skin is so dried out in the first place.
What kind of creams do you recommend for dry and sensitive skin?
Thanks :)Best cream for dried skin on face?
E45 cream or Aqueous cream is very good for dry facial skin and aslo silcox base is goodBest cream for dried skin on face?
I use Oil of Olay Complete. It comes in a plastic bottle, packaged inside a box. They make it for Normal, Sensitive, %26amp; Dry skin. I buy it at Wal*Mart. It goes on smoothly %26amp; doesn't make the skin feel greasy.
My DR said for me to use ';Cetaphil '; it is for dry sensitive skin. There is one for dry or oily skin and a special one for face. You can get it at Wal-Mart in the cosemetic section. You might want to talk to the dr that does the hair removal.
use toner , it works better - get a gentle one though, when you're done with that then use a heavy moisturizer... - intensive care lotion....
baby lotion or ursine they sell then at wal mart.
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.
I believe http://www.skinsosilky.com/ will help you best for more advices, ideas and best treatments for any skin problem like dry skin.
Try Cetaphil facial soap. It's wonderful and you can get it pretty much anywhere.
I use honey......the best kept secret in the middle east.
Try Cetaphil daily moisturizer. It is what dermatologists always recommend for sensitive skin. It is also very rich and soothing. Try putting on at night, as it is a bit too oily for day under makeup. You can also try CeraVe moisturizing lotion, it is just as good as Cetaphil but not quite as greasy. Both can be bought at most drugstores, like CVS.
Dry skin types have to be extremely careful to protect their skin.Yogurt-honey combination helps dry skin. Make an egg pack with a yolk, a teaspoon of honey, a tablespoon of milk powder. This is beneficial to dry skin types. There are many helpful tips to cure dry skin at http://useinfo-dryskin.blogspot.com/myspace tweaks

Which cream shall i buy for for dry skin?
There are loads of good ones on the market, and I've tried many, with various results.
For sheer value and quality though, you can't beat Nivea Soft - intensive moisturising cream.Which cream shall i buy for for dry skin?
EucerinWhich cream shall i buy for for dry skin?
i started using e45, or aquias(dunno how its spelled but it sounds right) and it seems to have worked wonders, also i use vaseline intensive care for dry skin
E45 all of the time.
E45 or emulsifying ointment. Try asking at your local chemists. If your skin is really bad you should perhaps see your Dr. Good luck.
Ask your pharmacist for advice , they are normally pretty good at that sort of thing .
If you are looking to use one of the more expensive solutions then go to a large department store and pick a couple of brands , then ask the sales person for advice and to test it on your skin .
there are lots of creams ointments go into your nearest Lidel/Aldi store they sell creams that are really good for dry skins and they are very reasonably priced I use the one with jojoba and vitamin,b,c,d,and e,in a pale blue tub because its so low in price you can be very liberal and your skin is as soft as a baby
The absolute best thing you can put on dry skin is tea tree oil. It works immediately %26amp; is extremely good for your skin. Tea tree oil can be found at health food stores, Trader Joe's, Henry's, Whole Foods, etc. You will thank me later for this recommendation.

Almond Oil from the health shop. Goes a long way and is also brilliant as a night moisturiser on your face. Use it on elbows and knees too after exfoliating - you will see the difference instantly - rub in well and you wont find it too oily either.
the cheapest and by far the best that we recommend in our profession is AQUEOUS about 1.99gbp for a tub of 500g. Use it anywhere on the body and after about 2 months of daily liberal use you will see a great difference.
Bio-oil is brill for dry skin if its really dry, its like a thick oily texture but if you put it on at night it soaks in and is nice in the morning - or vaseline intensive care (aloe vera) and also Nivea for dry skin, mega cheap but i use it on my face too and its really good - its in a white bottle with blue writting on.
The fianc`e uses
Vaseline intensive care
she Say's it works absolutely brilliantly better than prescribed creams
Body shop hemp.
v.v.v good.
expensive, but worth it
aloe vera is great for the skin, buy it from any good health shop,
you could also use baby oil after a shower rub it onto wet skin and let it dry natural,
use a good moisturising shower gel like dove,
use Vaseline intensive care,
don't use too much soap as it dries the skin out,
cathybaby x
eucerin is very good but rather plain and medical, if u want something that smells nicer, try dove body silk in the pot thats very good and smells nice too.

One of the major causes of acne is overproduction of oil (sebum). All acne products try to dry up the excess oil to some extent. One way to keep your skin from being too dry is to spot treat blemishes and leave the rest of your face alone. Another way is to do what you've been doing. A third way is to stop using acnewash and other acne product and keep your face extremely clean using anti-bacterial soap, exfoliate twice a day, and use an alpha/beta hydroxy cream at night.
Most of the acne medications make skin dry. They are supposed to reduce sebum. That is why the skin becomes dry. Usea cream base with moisturizer.
http://www.acnedoctor.us/
If your skin is a dry, and you are bothered by it, I suggest you try using Zenmed Sensitive Skin Care System from Zenmed or Autopalm from Skinstore.com.
Zenmend has no side effects and it's non-irritant to the
skin. It's proven to works fast and it povides Maximum
results! It's certainly a good lotion to prevent further
outbreaks.
Another product that I think is effective is Autopalm. This
dry skin mlm is one of the best seller at skinstore.com now.
(Skinstore.com holds more than 10,000 skin care products) It's pretty effective, and worth the dollar paid out.

I use Benzol peroxide...works well but it does make my skin dry..I don't think there is any ones that don't. The problem is you can't use a regular moisturizer, and oil-free ones just don't cut it. The only oil-free moisturizer...that is a life saver by the way...is Lancome Aqua Fusion..it smells heavenly, is oil-free and will totally get rid of dryness and make your skin feel smooth and soft. It's expensive, but it lasts for a LONG time.

Does a gel face wash dry out your skin more or cream face wash??
Does a Gel face fash with benzoyl peroxide dry out ur skin more or a cream face wash with benzyol peroxide dry out ur skin more?Does a gel face wash dry out your skin more or cream face wash??
i would so say a gel face wash because it does not give u back the right chemicals in u face and the right vitamins and it just helps ur face look better but not feel better.

Acne cream makes my skin really dry?
any solutions ?Acne cream makes my skin really dry?
Yes.....Acne cream makes my skin really dry?
If the cream is working, then you might want to tolerate the dryness until the acne is gone.
If you're looking for a good product, try Dadashie - www.dadashie.com If you happen to live in Southern California... the reason being that it's not only a product, but a treatment, which is only available in California.
Other than that, you might want to try Retin-A in place of whatever cream you're using now. You can also use a moisturizer that is oil free and contains hyaluronic acid - a company called Hylunia makes a nice hyaluronic acid serum. It's an ingredient that absorbs water, making your skin hydrated, but not with the use of oil.
Good luck!
If the cream is working on your acne (and you don't want to try something else), try Neutrogena oil free moisturizer. Apply it after your acne cream - it won't make it less effective. If your skin is REALLY dry (or you're already using an oil free moisturizer to no avail), get some Australian emu oil to apply at night. I know that adding oil to your acne sounds crazy, but I use it (with other natural oils) to treat my acne %26amp; it's the only thing I've found that works without drying out my skin. all you need is a few drops at night. Put it on after you wash your face %26amp; BEFORE you put on the acne cream. It will absorb very quickly %26amp; leave your skin baby soft. If your face feels greasy after 5 minutes - then you put too much on. You can also use it in the day when it's very cold %26amp; you shouldn't use it when it's hot or humid. A 2oz bottle will last you for months %26amp; it will get rid of your dry skin within a few days of using it :)
BTW:
Oil doesn't cause acne! You can have dry skin %26amp; still have acne. Bacteria causes acne - that's why all acne treatments have bacteria killing ingredients. Oil can clog your pores %26amp; cut off oxygen, giving bacteria the chance to multiply %26amp; cause a pimple - but if there's no bacteria present you will just get clogged pores. Emu oil won't clog your pores %26amp; is a natural antibacterial/anti-fungal.
Most acne creams (I'm assuming the one you're using is medicated) dry the skin. It's to get rid of oil -%26gt; oil usually makes spots worse/gives you spots because you've got greasy skin. By getting rid of the oil, you should find you don't get as many spots. This happened to me and the doctor gave me a smaller strength of cream. I also got anti-biotics and I barely EVER get spots now. Speak to your doctor about it if it's bothering you ;)

ask your doctor for an oil-based alternative. this will stop your skin from becoming dry.
or, i suggest only applying the cream to the bad areas. i.e don't cover your whole face in it, only the problem zones.
try to moisturise aswell - that way you won't need to switch creams, and your skin will become amazing and smooth.
Try moisturising reguarly , but if you have Acne you may be better off going to your doctor and asking about the Pill .Dianete is one make which is ment to clear up acne i have used that before and the results were amazing .
Acne Cream has an ingredient called benzoyl peroxide. Benzoyl Peroxide drys up your acne, which makes your skin really dry. In the meantime, put on some moisturizer around the pimple, not directly on the pimple because the cream will rub off.
Go to the drug store and ask for a really really good face moisturizer. Not just body lotion. The skin on your face and neck Is different from the fest of your body. Also, exfoliate to get all the dead skin of.
Stop using the acne cream you are using right now and try visiting a dermatologist for a proper cream to use...they probably know what's best for your skin than any other suggestions out there.
Thats the idea, it dries the pores, because acne is caused by blocked pores....
That's a common problem with many types of acne creams. However, there are other types that are specially made with this problem in mind. See my source for more info.
i wouldnt use creams for acne because it sucks the moisture out of your skin. use a acne face wash and after your use if put moisturizer or lotion of your face.
yep most of them will do that use a moisturizing cream after you use the acne cream it should help =)
(sometimes if your face drys out 2 much you get more acne breakouts)
Then you don't have acne.
Urgh, people think if they get a couple of pimples once a week they have acne.
moisturizing cream ?
acne cream is nothing but chemicals, what do you expect.
Use Witch Hazel instead. Creams just clog up your pores.
our acne cream doesnt suit your skin type duhhh.
Yes stop using it.

acne cream is nothing but chemicals, what do you expect.
