Does anyone else have 'extremely' dry skin? Especially the arms, legs, and feet.

1 Answer

Answer :

My kids get really dry skin in winter, especially my youngest. I use Cetaphil instead of soap, which the doctor suggested. It doesn’t dry out the skin like soap. Also, don’t use water that’s too hot, which can also dry out your skin. As for after the shower, most lotions and creams have alcohol and scents that can make your skin worse instead of better. Most of the things I can think of that work really well wouldn’t meet your criteria of not being sticky, slippery, or greasy. The doctor also told me that the easier it is to rub a lotion into the skin, the less effective that lotion is. Aquaphor Ointment works fantastic but is very greasy. Aveeno makes a cream that I’ve used on the kids with great results. It wasn’t nearly as greasy or slippery as the Aquaphor. The best I’ve used, by far, is Acid Mantle. It’s kind of expensive, but very, very effective. I think you’d also find it to not be sticky, greasy, or slippery. If nothing else works, try it and you’ll probably find it worth the price. I had a 16 ounce jar of it, and it lasted all winter. I only used it on one kid, every other day after his bath. Good luck!
