This last year it seems I'm dealing more and more with dry skin. I use lotions and oils and nothing seems to help. Anyone have any suggestions for what you do to help your dry skin?

Me too!!! But I found great solution I put castor oil after shower if it's too oily for u mix a few drops in the lotion. It's good and known to be great for inflamation. U can also use coconut oil it's great too...

The castor oil is great for dry skin,its also helps to heal.I use it on my feet and scalp every day along with Emu oil.

Coconut oil! I keep a container in the bathroom and slather it on after I shower. Its an all natural oil that absorbs well and will not leave you feeling like you took a dip in a vat of oil. It will leave your skin feeling soft and silky.

Also, my boyfriend has dry skin and I got him "Softy" lotion from Lush. It's supposed to be foot lotion but it's great on hands too!

I have the same exact problem. I was doing some research and I just bought some blue clay on ebay. It's relatively cheap. Supposedly, if you rub it into your skin and wrap the area with plastic wrap for one hour it can help with dry skin and it helps release toxins. I'll definitely have to let everyone know how well it works.
