I've tried many lotions to help my dry skin. Everything from prescriptions to OTCs. The last lotion I tried was a name brand(Don't remember the name.) and it did a good job. But it had a big problem. It hard a really big smaell. It was a good smell, but it was too loud to wear to work and it filled my small house. Any suggestions? I can't afford some of the high priced things. Anything on the cheap?

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
In addition to the exederm, I also use Vaseline on drier patches. Some people have a problem with Vaseline, but I have found that it is the only ointment that doesn't irritate my skin. Many of these other products have ingredients that my skin simply can't tolerate without breaking out.
Just my two cents. Good luck!

I signed up for the support group when i saw your message. I have been suffering with eczema and dry skin for my who life. My skin is so dry, cracky and flaky year around. I thought i had found the perfect regime Lubiderm 50 times a day(exaggeration of course)during the summer and coco butter and eucerin cream mixed together during the winter. Well this winter i had and itch/buring sensation on the backs of my legs. The skin was cracking and splitting and my regime wasn't working. SO i thought i'd try something new, the New Eucerin Plus Smoothing Essentials lotions. I rubbed it on the back of my legs and i felt immediate relief. My legs were shiny (not greasy, but not the normal dull and it last all day and all night. I thought it might be too good to be true, so i would check through out the day to see if the flacks or dullness had returned and they didn't. I've been using the lotion for about 3 months now and it has completely changed the texture of my skin.. it might not look like a normal persons, but it sure does feel like it and that's extremely important to me. Good luck, i hope this helps.
2) consider using a bath oil! Using oil can help keep moisture in the skin rather than desperately trying to keep it in after your shower/bath.
Sorry i realize my mistake when i bought went to the store myself and bought the wrong bottle. one the lotion comes out the bottle i immediately knew i made a mistake.
good luck
