    The new Caress cream oil wash is quite good for not drying out the skin when bathing. I just tried and saw immediate results.

    Try to apply much oil before you go to bed. Morning use some oil based moisturizer. Apart from that have asmuch water as you can throughout the day. Slowly your issue will be resolved.

    Hi

    Apply Vaseline Petroleum jelly in the night every day and in the
    morning use any moisturizer which is not sticky which feels smooth on the skin.This will help you.

    Hi there,

    Soap can be drying, also in the US since we are in closed air-conditioned/heated spaces--that can dry out the skin.Couple of things that you could try are:

    1. reduce soap use on the regions that get very dry, use besan instead.
    2. apply baby oil immediately after drying yourself after bath.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Laxmi,

    Use a moisturizing cream which is meant for dry skin like Jergen's Ultra Healing (u'll get it in Shoprite or even BJ's) or even Aveeno will do. And initially apply the cream twice a day to your full legs- once after bath and once before sleep. And apply generously. Iam sure u'll see the difference..:thumbsup

    Hi chlpavani

    In order to reduc edry sking on ur legs........ first ly stop using soap, use
    cream based body bath, secondly moisturize it religiously with a body lotion.
    U can try something from jergens, body shop or vaslene depending on ur
    skin type.
    use a body scrub once a week.
    & lastly consume lots of water & fruits....... u will see the difference in a weeks time. :thumbsup


    Cheers
    Simi
