I also use the gentle cleanser on my face, it's not drying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dry-itchy-skin#post-2018110 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 09:37:52 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2018110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: I've heard great things about Lush! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dry-itchy-skin#post-2018092 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 09:19:16 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2018092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neosporin makes an amazing eczema cream with collidal oatmeal in it--I turn to it when I get that crazy dry skin nothing seems to help. It's pricey, but worth it. You can find it by the first aid ointments, but it is indeed a lotion and comes in a box. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dry-itchy-skin#post-2018035 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 07:46:09 +0000 Tanjowen 2018035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had pupps rash during pregnancy and Sarna lotion was the only thing that helped. That and an oatmeal bath each night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dry-itchy-skin#post-2017976 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 04:29:06 +0000 Rocker2014 2017976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have also had great success with the Cetaphil lotion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dry-itchy-skin#post-2017971 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 03:32:08 +0000 shopaholic 2017971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto CeraVe and Vanicream. If things are really bad, I use Eucerin Original Healing Soothing Repair Creme. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dry-itchy-skin#post-2017938 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 01:49:41 +0000 FannyMae 2017938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have dry itchy scaly legs, and dry skin all over the rest of me. I've been using La Roche-Posay Lipikar Baume AP, and it has helped a lot. Cost me about $30 but its a huge bottle so I feel it is worth it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dry-itchy-skin#post-2017866 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 23:20:22 +0000 macintosh 2017866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For body I use a solid body butter from Lush and I just got one of their massage bars, too. Both are mostly cocoa butter, which for me has more staying power than any lotion. </p> <p>For hands, I get really bad eczema and no Lush lotion or prescription cream really seems to help. The best thing I've found for that is to get a drugstore lotion (Gold Bond for eczema) and apply it religiously after hand washing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dry-itchy-skin#post-2017865 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 23:19:21 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2017865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love cerave and vanicream! Discovered it when DD had bad eczema as an infant - but it's meant for adults too. No fragrances and really moisturizing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dry-itchy-skin#post-2017850 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 22:53:16 +0000 spaniellove 2017850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use Curel, sometimes a mix of Curel and Amlactin. But the Sarna lotion that @mrs. bird: mentioned was also recommended by my IF nurse as a cure for post-injection itching! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dry-itchy-skin#post-2017847 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 22:49:55 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2017847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I think I'm with your derma on this! It's like it doesn't even do anything. I'll try some Cetaphil! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dry-itchy-skin#post-2017825 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 22:35:16 +0000 simplyfelicity 2017825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Jojoba oil is pretty good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dry-itchy-skin#post-2017822 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 22:33:46 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2017822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hands are so dry this year! I'm going to try some Vaseline tonight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dry-itchy-skin#post-2017819 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 22:32:50 +0000 blackbird 2017819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't find coconut oil very moisturizing (my dermatologist actually doesn't recommend it at all). I've had a lot better luck with Cetaphil creem being soothing and moisturizing and taking away the itch of winter </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dry-itchy-skin#post-2017818 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 22:30:49 +0000 mrs. bird 2017818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mr. bird had to use sarna lotion, it didn't smell very good, but it was the only thing that seemed to help. hope you find something that works for you soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dry-itchy-skin#post-2017812 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 22:27:12 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2017812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This winter is being rough on my skin. My skin is so itchy and dry. I usually put coconut oil on at night when I get out of the shower and that's it. Any product recommendations that will help keep from wanting to rip through my skin? </p>
