I’ve struggled with dry skin since I was around 8 or 9, so long that I can’t remember not having it! It’s only on my legs though, my arms are fine, but from the knees down, my skin’s so dry it looks like a desert. Because of that, it’s really sensitive and often gets rashes, even though I’ve tried daily moisturizing with Vaseline lotion. Nothing seems to help. I’ve decided to seriously tackle it since I feel self-conscious about my legs. Because it’s been left untreated for so long, it might be hard to fix. If anyone has products that have worked for them, please let me know
Anything with oatmeal might be helpful! I like Aveeno’s calm oatmeal moisturizer. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair with oatmeal is another option, though it’s a bit pricier and harder to find. You might want to try the Aveeno option first!
Another trick is to try a light oil like Neutrogena’s, let it absorb, and then layer on your lotion.
Thanks so much!! I used to use CeraVe, and it definitely helped, but I ran out and it’s hard to find here, when I do, it’s so expensive. But I’ll try the tips you mentioned, and thank you for the other product recs <3
For the body, I’d suggest Eucerin original cream in a tub. You might need to put on something moisturizing first, then seal it with a strong barrier like Eucerin.
