Nothing seems to soothe my dry skin!

I had a big problems with dry skin too...

You should try some lotions with urea.

Eucerin has two - with 3% Urea nad 10% Urea.

Maybe you can try 3% Urea - it'll help

I'm starting to have this problem also.

I'm getting these really bad scaly patches all over, mostly on my back weirdly enough.

I tried a sample of the new Dove Intensive Lotion for extra dry skin recently and that was quite nice. The sample also came with a money off coupon which was also helpful. Maybe you could have a look on their website and see if that offer is still available.

Other than that I have tried the Simple Intensive Relief cream and that is relatively good. It's thick so I find it stays on the skin for longer, perhaps forming a preventative barrier from clothes etc further rubbing on the dryness.

I just wanted to say that taking a long bath with a great bath bomb from one of my favorite eBay sellers REALLY helped my skin out! It's been very soft for the past week or so. Of course, I've maintained that softness with lotion and body wash.

Alright, ladies, I have found the cure: olive oil. Or, rather, "re-found" it! I used to use olive oil on my skin all the time, but I completely stopped doing that about 2 or 3 years ago for some reason and instead just relegated it to my hair. Then one night, I was removing swatches with some olive oil, and I was like, "...wait, why did I stop using this on my skin?!" I mixed about 4 parts sugar with 1 part olive oil, plus a dash of vanilla for a better scent, and using that once a week (as well as using body wash instead of soap and lotioning-up after every shower) has made a MAJOR difference in my skin. It feels glorious!

Thanks again for all of your help, lovelies!
