Dry Skin — 10 Ways to Fix Dry Skin on Hands, Feet, Face and Lips

By , About.com Guide   June 6, 2009

Follow me on:

There's nothing more annoying than dry, itchy skin. I've battled dry, itchy skin for years and couldn't stand the way lotion feels on my legs (it tends to get sticky and I inevitably hop in the shower to wash it off). I wish I learned years ago that I LOVE the way oil feels on my skin. I'm addicted to a sugar scrub my friend Susan makes in her home and should be selling because it's amazing. It contains the sugar, which acts as an exfoliant, and a bunch of different oils which make my skin extra silky and dewy and gets rid of the itch.

I also much prefer oil to lotion. Right before I hop out of the shower, I rub in organic jojoba oil all over my body and then gently pat off any water with my towel. I find that this gets rid of the dry, itchy skin, and leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth, and silky instead of sticky.

Vaseline lips after scrubbing lightly with a toothbrush.

Take showers in cool water and pain old baby oil directly after wards.

Ped Egg (Love that thing) and a bit of utter butter then socks. Wear to bed.

The Made from Earth Vitamin Enhanced MOISTURIZER is everything it is claimed to be! It completely turned the problems I was having with my skin around! Warning, though…IT IS STRONG! Be sure to consider the skin type you have and only “baby step” into the strength of this product.

I recommend using a little at a time – because thats all you really need and it spreads well. Literally, with one application of the Made from Earth Moisturzer (Vitamin Enhanced), my skin felt different…AWESOME! It did make me peel like a snake skin though. I think I “over did” at first. I can see such a difference in my skin texture, smaller pores, completely cleared any problem areas I was having and I can see such a reduction in wrinkles already.

I will definitely continue using this made from earth product.I use it about twice weekly right now. I use the Green Tea Toxin Cleanser before I moisturze. I LOVE IT, TOO!

My husband has the driest of skin, he has tried nearly everything on the market and nothing has worked to help repair his dry skin.

I finally bought the “Pure Aloe Face Treatment” from Made from Earth, because I myself like some of their other products and thought why not, let’s try it. Well, he scoffed when I handed it to him, but eventually tried it, the difference was immediate. He Loves it… We no longer go anywhere without “the Cream”!!

Its also fragrence free which he likes. . .

I found a great website devoted to the managment of dry skin associated with Keratosis Pilaris called littleredbumps.com. check it out! It has great coupons and free music downloads.
