Hi Goof,
Its a bit pricey but aquaphor is suppose to be the number one lotion for dry skin. I use it almost daily on my hands. It is very thick though and looks like vasaline but it really works well. You can also try pure coco butter products. Bag Balm is also a great product and comes in a little square tin. Another product that I have often wondered about is CORN HUSKERS oil/lotion. One of these is bound to work. Just dont use them on your face or you may break out.

A few of the Aveeno lotions with oatmeal work well for me.
In winter my skin gets so dry.

A friend and one doctor recommended vitamin e oil for my surgical scars and dry skin. It works very well and is rather inexpensive.

I was told by an esthetician, after getting out of shower don't rub yourself dry, but while your still damp use you lotion then and let it soak in.Rubbing your skin dry after shower causes skin to get dry. Takes time but works for me.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
