| super dry skin on my legs!! When we were in Florida my legs were kinda dry but i have a great moisturizer so i used it frequently. But now that we are back in Ontario in the VERY cold... they are horribly dry- burning, cracking.. is there any super moisture treatment type of thing i can do for them to give them a boost ???? |

| I have very dry skin all over. Burt's Bees makes a coconut foot cream that's great! I use it on my feet and legs. I use jasmine and vanilla lotion by Bath and Body Works everywhere else. It has a nice fragrance and is absorbed quickly. For a quick fix on your legs, use plain old olive oil. I've done that in a tight and it WORKS! (a dermatologist told me to do this)

Rub it in well and wait about 15 minutes to get dressed. I've never had it stain anything, but my skin is so dry it just drinks the stuff!

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | olive oil & baby oil are your best bets But use it Right in the shower While your still wet. If that doesn't work Bath & body works has a collection out that awesome. anything true blue Bath & Body Works - Spa: Body Lotions, Creams & Butters: Mega Butter™ Super Softening Body Butter with Four Natural Butters |

| I use 100% emu oil. When that doesn't work I use Hemp for extra dry skin. |

| I use baby oil too. I put it on right after a shower when my skin is still damp.

| When Amelia was first born she had very dry skin and my midwife told me to use Grape Seed Oil. Her skin was normal and baby soft within a few days.

| I dry off a little bit first-kinda pat dry and then rub the oil in. Then I let myself air dry for a few minutes. (I only put it on my arms and legs so I just walk around in a towel for awhile, normally, I go do my hair or something while I'm waiting to dry) Your skin should soak it up pretty quickly.

| For probably 20 years now (wow, hard to believe it's been that long!), I've used Neutrogena Sesame oil after every single shower. While still in the shower (where it's warm and steamy), I pat dry slightly and then put the oil on all over. Not only does it smell dreamy but I rarely have any dry skin issues. But then again I live in Texas so the issue is not such a big thing around here. I do love the Neutrogena oil though. Made the mistake of buying the fragrance-free one by accident and didn't love it as much.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Shaving your legs with a hair conditioner instead of any type of cream or soap is a big help too.
