If it is really dry you have to use a combination of moisturising shower/bath products, intensive moisturisers (E45, Nivea, Johnson's baby range), olive oil or baby oil rubbed in regularly helps if severe. Use any moisturiser morning and night. A dermatologist friend used to tell me to rub cream into my skin when it was still slightly damp and really rub it into your skin - don't apply loads and let it sit on top of your skin - you need to work it in circular motions. Hope it helps!I have extremely dry skin ,especially the legs,has anyone got any suggestions of a really good cream Please?

its all about what goes inside your body.
you need more water and viatemen e try eating more avacodos and drink up to 8 glasses of water a day!
Aveeno and Neutrogena Norweigen Formula.
Nivea helps alot.
Try Bio-Oil (from pharmacies and health food stores). Is the only thing that has amde a real difference to my son's dry skin. Plus smells yummy!! Good luck!!
hydrocotozone. and dont keep your legs in water for more than 10 minutes, after that it starts to dehydrate your skin and so does hot water. have showers not a bath. trust me my doctors a doctor.
body butter is best. Try shea butter, coconut butter or sweet almond, they work well without being greasy.
The doctor will tell you to try E45cream first, if that doen't work go to your doctor for something stronger.
E45 cream will do the trick its only around 拢3.50 to buy and its extremely moisturising for dry skin. If you have skin like my son where it is cracked and bleeds from time to time (eczema) try using sudocreme as this is a healing antiseptic cream, you can buy this in chemists and supermarkets. If all else fails, try moisturising bath products like Dove body wash or use baby oil in the bath. Or take a trip to your doctor as they can always prescribe something to help, dont be embarrased dry skin is very common and they are probably used to people going in about it.
Goldbond for dry skin!!! It's great, I used it this summer.
The coconut body butter from The Body Shop, then i use the coconut dry oil over that, and it makes your skin so so soft and smooth!
Hi, Aqueous Cream, don't if you've tried it, it seems to help some but not all. I've certainly had some quite good results with it and in the same plus other places. Good luck.
Cetaphil. It's cheap and doesn't smell like anything but it is thick and really good. For dry skin, try their hand cream and use it all over. Basically, if you want a good lotion, it should be about the same thickness as ketchup. Also, put the lotion on right after taking a shower because lotion is pointless on dry skin. Put lotion on anytime you get wet, like bath or swimming or whatever because water will dry you out when it evaporates, which is why they say not to lick chapped lips.
you need a deep moisturising cream like Vaseline or palm cocoa moisturising cream, and don't over rub your skin or don't use harsh soap that can lead to dryness, you need moisturising bath creme or anything for moisturising and drink loads of water to help hydrate your skin.
e45,i use it on my little girl who has dry skin on her legs.The doc recommends it.
I have really dry legs and hands and this year I started using body shop cocoa butter and it's working great!
aveeno really helps me...i forget what kind but its the beige bottle..
Dove Calming Night
I FREAKIN' LOVE IT!!!!
Try Nelson's Calendula Cream.
SKIN SO SOFT!! i have ezcema on my legs, and skin so soft ( an avon product) is the only thing that keeps my skin hydrated. YOu can get it from your local avon representative, or online. I get mine from a friend. Plus it only costs 7.50 for a good size bottle
OLIVE OIL
ancient! esp after bath
E45 and baby oil.
ive always found if you rub dead fish on dry skin it helps....plus no one comes near enough to see it
E45 cream! i swear by it, i get really dry skin in the winter on my arms and face, you can get the body wash, moisturiser and lots of other stuff like sun cream you will be surprised. It really works
try eucerin...
E45 ( you can get this over the counter)or dipro base (you need a prescription from your gp but it very good) or avenno
I buy body butter at Bath and Body. {any scent you choose} And then mix in my hand the body butter and some baby oil. Very silky on the skin.
GOOSE FAT
Nivea moisturiser for sensitive dry skin (it works for my really dry skin,i bet it will work for you too,all the best.)
epaderm a cream created by the rvi hospital in newcastle. I have tried everything and nothing is as effective as this.
Try Aqueous cream BP avaiable from most chemist shops. My mum has extremely dry skin and uses this cream all the time with good results. So hopefully it will work for you.
