    Even in my beloved southern California, the moisture in the air dissipates and the skin dries. What do you use ?

    I get dry skin too but if you use it often it should be good.

    theres no exscaping dry skin here in canada once it gets a bit cold.

    i use extra strength moisturizing with vitamin e creams and Aloe Vera gel
    sometimes vaseline for extra moisture locking if its really dry.

    depends where the dry area is...

    my feet? Before bed, I scrub them to get all the dead skin off, then I slather them with vaseline and put on a pair of thick wooly socks. They are a 1000 times better in the morning.

    Hands? Same idea, but I just use a thick lotion and then put on a pair of gloves before bed.

    Everything else is basically the same concept. Scrub the dead skin away, put on a good moisturizer and then lock that moisture in.

    Here in Canada, even my scalp gets dry from the dry cold we get so I use warmed olive oil once a week. Leave it one for about 10 minutes before shampooing.

    Good scrub? Brown sugar in olive oil.
