yep, its happened to me 3 times now. I generally have really dry skin but its scaly dry now - it is my fault though, as I forget to moisturise more often than not. I use La Roche Posay Lipikar balm when it gets bad, and it does help a lot. My weird spot is dry skin behind my underarm. no idea why!

Yes I practically have scales. I've found it really helps if I put on jojoba oil right out of the shower when I am still damp. Then I use lotion.

I used coconut oil and cetaphil.

Cetaphil cream. I used to use coconut oil but my derm says it doesn't penetrate very deep. Love the way it smells, though

@Ginabean3: it's horrible, especially in winter. I've been using cocoa butter but even that isn't quite good enough.

@Ginabean3: Yes! I have the same climate as you and my skin has been so dry and flaky on my chest and face then just generally itchy at times. My routine that has helped...

After shower.. baby oil then palmers coco butter after all over.

Other times during the day for the belly- Love coconut oil. Also will alternate with palmer coco butter for the belly and mix in some aquaphor.

I add aquaphor to my face moisturizer too.

(only good part about being dry is my scalp doesn't get oily anymore!)

@Ginabean3: . @Mrs.Pinecone316: My hair's been the same way! I'm down to washing once a week (even though I work out 2-3x/week! IT DOESN'T GET GREASY). It's so weird. A little dry shampoo freshens it up and as long as I alternate between french braids and ponytails, it still looks fine!
