I have very dry skin year round, and recently I have chosen to go with Lubriderm which is doing OK, but I was wondering if there was anything out there that might do a better job.

I find that Cetaphil is really good.

Dermasil, Nivea, Body Butter from the Body Shop and good 'ole Natural Shea Butter & Olive Oil.

Is it for face or body?

cocoa butter

TD... I saw the cetaphil on the shelves maybe next time I'll try it....how does it smell

Ms.H... I tried Nivea it didn't work , my skin was still dry

do you exfoliate your skin? sometimes it's best to get a good body scrub (try a natural oatmeal scrub) to get down through the layers of dry skin and renew it. then you can start anew with moisturization.

I too have dry skin and I use Lubriderm oatmeal or Aveeno daily but I do shea butter twice a week or so. I also exfoliate in the shower once a week. I use Bath and Body Works Fig scrub.

For the body try Gene's Swiss Vitamin E Collagen Complex. You can get it from Sam's Club. It is cheap too....like $6 for 16oz. I have very dry skin in the winter, plus the dry heat from heaters and then the wind and ting, does a job on yuh skin. I use it right after a shower while I am still wet/damp. For the extra dry days I use "unpetroleum" jelly mixed with the Gene's....and if I want to add a little smell good, I mix in either shea butter, or the body butters from The Body Shop. You can get the "unpetroleum" from http://www.avalonnaturalproducts.com/

Thanks guys, I will try de exfoliating ting cause de closest I come to doing that is with the Dove gentle exfoliating bar/wash

St Croix Mami... thanks fuh de link

and shea butter all natural mixed together it will feel good and smooth on skin

St Ives 24hr moisture is really good.

I tried that once and I looked like Ashy Larry by the end of the day.

I also have very dry skin and have tried many different creams, lotions and butters. What I use now, that has been working great for me is Johnson & Johnson Baby oil gel. It keeps my skin moist allll day. It smells soooo good, I love the lavendar. There's also chamomile, aloe, and some others.

I sometimes mix that with my regular lotion if I want to be extra soft (like for my man!)
