Silver Post Medal for All Time! 390 Posts I have terrible dry skin. I am itching all the time, it is just horrible! I talked to my new doctor about it and decided to share her advice with all of you. It really does work and no pills!
- Do not take a shower or bath everyday, 2 or 3 times a week is plenty.
- Don't use soap unless you are really dirty, then only a moisturizeing soap, not bath gels etc. If you feel like you must use soap, only clean your underarms and personal area.
- When you shampoo your hair, rinse with your head down. Try not to get any shampoo or conditioner on your skin.
- When you are done, turn off the water and apply baby oil all over your body.
- Slip into a terry cloth robe. Wait 5-10 minutes, then get dressed.
- Twice daily, rub on lotion all over. I told her about the lotion I made and she thinks that is wonderful!
- Drink at least 64 ounces of water a day.
My Lotion:In a big bowl, combine 2 bottles of baby lotion, 12 ounce jar of vitimain E cold cream and 8 ounce jar of vaseline. Beat with electric mixer until blended (when it looks fluffy). Store in container with a lid. This make a lot of lotion for for $5.00 at the Dollar Store!

Apply olive oil to wet skin right after you get out of shower. Pat dry. Scent last only a moment and its an awesome emollient.
Also olive oil helps maintain elasticity in skin as well as lighten scars very well.
