lotion

I have never used any kind of lotion so I can't tell you much about the lotion.

I once read somewhere that baby oil contains mineral oil, which is almost toxic because it has been processed and reprocessed many times. Anyway, we have done away with lotion here at home and now use virgin coconut oil as an alternative to lotion. High-grade VCO made using the cold-press method has almost negligible moisture content, therefore, it has no water. It is water, which is the always the first ingredient in labels of lotions, that makes the skin dry. Initially, when absorbed by the skin, it will cause it to expand thereby stretching it and making the skin smooth. But once it evaporates then the skin will contract, giving it the wrinkled and dry look. VCO has anti-oxidants, vitamin E (tocopherol) and is anti-fungal and anti-bacterial. It will help if you take it as a food supplement, too, but using it on your skin will be just as beneficial.

You could try to use the Olay Ribbons body wash. That is what I use and I don't have to put lotion on after my shower. When I do need lotion, I use the Olay Quench body lotion. Hope this helps. Here is their site: http://www.olay.com/products/find.jsp?tag_type=product.type&tag=body.moisturizer&product.type=body.moisturizer

what about vasiline intensive care replenishing moisturiser with aloevera?? i used that while i was in hospital which is terribly drying for skin and it is unreal...goodluck

Either sorbolene cream, which is great and very cheap and is much less likely to irratate your skin, or also aloe vera gel can be good.

I found a really good lotion by gold bond called Ultimate Healing. It may be a little pricey, but for how awful my skin is, it is the only lotion I have found that actually works. Also for another point, my baby has a dry skin condition and it has really been the best thing for him too...even after all the creams that they gave him that lotion has been the best. It leaves your skin not only moisturised, but extremely soft.

The best one I have found that is worth every penny is Keri! If you can't find it where you live... check out eBay!

Since discovering virgin coconut oil (VCO) several years ago, I have stopped using lotion. The main reason is that the primary ingredient in lotions (with no exception) is water. Once the water is absorbed by the skin, it will expand therefore making it smooth. But guess what? After the water evaporates, the skin shrinks back. VCO, however, is easily absorbed by the skin and is retained thus keeping it soft and supple. It's also good against itches and what I love most about it, especially during the cold months, is that it keeps my skin moisturized. No white marks if I scratch accidentally. And if you can take it, VCO is good to drink, too.

Try the "St. Ives" brand. I had a hard time finding one that worked for me too.

no

The best lotion I found was from Beauti Control, it is a home party deal but their lotion DOES WORK.
