1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Use a good moisturizer and body lotion or oil and slather it on thickly right after getting out of the shower while your skin is still warm, damp and pores expanded for maximum absorbtion. Certain foot/heel creams are also excellent for hands and elbows and other extra dry patches. I have a nice hemp oil spray that works really well after showering and use a face cream with vitamins C&E on my face and neck.
