Dry skin relief

[stacey79]

My skin has been especially dry these last few weeks. We're having some frigid weather here in the Midwest. Then we got a new furnace last week that puts out higher heat and dries our air a bit more.

Anyway, I had a coupon so I bought some of that Olay in-shower body lotion. After you wash, you spread it all over and then rinse it off. I've used it for a week now and absolutely love it! It works very well and leaves my skin feeling soft for at least 24 hours. I hope it's OK to share this, but I'm always dubious about things like this, so I wanted to share something that works.

I use that too, it just turns my bathtub into a skating rink! I also use the Oil of Olay Shea Butter Wash. I also bought something new recently, it's bodycology foaming bath, and it seems to be safe enough for me to wash with every day, and take a nice foamy bath with it too. I get out and my skin is so soft I dont need a moisturizer anymore.

I also have VERY dry hands because I wash them SO often because I PEE so often...I bought Johnson and Johnson's Extra Care hand lotion and it doesn't wash off when you get your hands wet. Just thought I'd throw that in there.

I love to hear about bath products, etc. It's great to know what works for others!

Oh l love my Olay In-Shower stuff! Hubby does complain about it being a bit slippery there in the shower, lol. Then I follow up with Eucerin Calming Cream, omg, I love that stuff. Won't go a winter without it - ever!!!!

I make my own dead sea salt scrub. The salt is very fine and I use light oils. People that have eczema and sensitive skin really like it. I don't use any coloring or preservatives and only essential oils so there is nothing that wold cause problems.

I haven't used soap in years as the scrub gets all the dead skin. It makes the tub a hazard so I keep a spray bottle of strong tile cleaner and spray it when I get out and leave the spray bottle in the tub so everyone knows to watch out.

When I shake hands with anyone they always comment about how soft my skin is. My nails look like they have just been polished all the time. That salt scrub is very expensive if you buy it. That is why I started making it. Now all my friends want me to give it to them as Xmas or birthday gifts. They even pay me to make it so they can give it as gifts.

Maybe I should try to start a business.

[traceann]

You should listen to them! So many great businesses have been started that way! I make my own sugar scrub with olive oil, fabulous stuff, but again, I am careful with it in the shower, lol.

My dermatologist recommends Aquaphor. It is kind of like Vaseline and works well for dry skin.

Traceann,

I looked for the Oil Of Olay shower lotion at Wal-Mart and Target and could not find it. Where do you buy it?

Great Product!

On Oil of Olay website it is officially called "Olay Ultra Moisture In-shower Body Lotion". It is a product you put on in the shower then rinse off. It has been a lifesaver for my constantly dry itching legs!!! It is one of my favorite beauty products and I hope they don't stop making it. I think some of our medications can dry our skin out, and my skin was dry before so what a disaster. I went thru 1 1/2 years of trying different products that didn't work, and then came across this one. Actually, I don't rinse it off, then put on my PJ pants to make it an extra powerful treatment.

I know some IC patient have sensitivities, so if go to the Olay website they have the ingredients listed online and you also have the option of an online consultation. Keep the combo beauty/health tips coming! Thank you for sharing.

Sometimes it is hard to find what location the stores put it in. Because it is an in between product being that it is used in the shower. I usually find it at Target with the liquid soaps, but other stores will have it in other locations. I have bought it both at Target and Walmart, but they may be out due to the weather. Walgreens also carries it, but cost more there.

I use Neutrogena after bath oil. I step out of the shower to a bath mat, then put the body oil on before I dry myself. I really prefer it to anything else.

wow,awesome ideas.i would like to buy some of that sea salt stuff you make,lol!!! i agree with you too donna,i love that oil too,i've used it a few times.i am always trying new things everytime i go to the grocery store.thats like my little treat for going grocery shopping,along with candles,gotta have the candles!!!!

[stacey79]

I've not tried oil before. That would be good, too. I love the in-shower lotion. I have that Scrubbing Bubbles shower cleaner thing. It seems to keep the shower from getting too slippery.

I got my in-shower lotion at Wal-Mart with the bath and shower gels. It wasn't with the Olay products that are near make-up (like facial cloths - which I also love!). But, instead with the soap. I got the formula for extra dry skin. I also like that it's not very scented.

That's funny, I haven't been able to locate it lately either in my stores, but I was just going replenish my supply at drugstore.com, lol.
