Honestly, I use my pregnancy 'belly butter' for all dry skin issues. It's a combination of vitamin E, almond oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, and lots of good herbal extracts for speedy healing. It's rather hard but once it has contact with warm skin it heats up and melts nicely. I find regular 'lotions' don't work as well for me as oils.

Gold Bond is great on hands or feet, but Vaseline Intenstive Care is also a good lotion to use. It is very effective.

Particular attention must be paid in cooler months to moisturization, especially if outdoor sports or occupational activities lead to exposure to harsh wind and cold temperatures.The key to moisturization is frequency of application - a regimen that utilizes morning and evening moisturizer is important. Often a lighter moisturizer works best in the day (preferably with an SPF) and richer moisturizer at night.

Well, it isn't a glamorous name, but Gold Bond lotion does the trick on my dad, when he'll use it. He doesn't think men should use lotion. But if you ask my mom she prefers a little less rough hands from her husband. I use Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion and it totally works for me. I don't which is less expensive, but neither has an outrageous price or else I would never be able to buy them. : )

Oh my word. I answered this 3 months ago - with the same answer. At least I'm consistent. : )

I have had to do this for my feet and hands. I have found that it isn't any one type of lotion any of them that say moiturizing seems to work. At night I really coat my hands and feet with the lotion then put on some gloves and socks and in the morning my hands and feet are in great shape. I also keep lotion at every sink and when ever I wash my hands I follow with lotion.
