Winter Skin

With it being down in the teens now I tend to get winter skin, especially around the ankles and thigh area. Is there a really good moisturizer that would prevent this? I even use Dove Soap in the shower for extra moisturizing.

Wish I knew, I've tried just about every lotion I can find. The latest one I'm trying is St. Ives Hydrating, and I guess it works better than some others. The problem is my winter skin lasts all year round. Can't ever just get out of the shower and get dressed, have to coat all my dry spots in lotion before I do anything.

This stuff works wonders, my brother. I honestly think Aveeno the best lotion/moisturizer on the market.

I just bought St. Ives a couple of weeks ago. It smells nice and it does add moisture to your skin but I don't think it lasts long. I have also bought that new Dove that comes in a Jar, same thing, smells nice but it doesn't last. One of the best ones I have found is Oil of Olay Quench, that one lasts on your skin for awhile. I just wanted to see if there was any other suggestions out there. I tend to still have dry skin around the ankles in the summertime but I moisturize and it dosen't seem to last like in winter.

I have the Body Wash from Aveeno and that is pretty good. I will have to try it, I have not seen it in a jar before.

This stuff is good too

Vaseline lotion with cocoa butter.

I've no tried the Aveeno but it sounds worth it, and apply it to damp skin.

At work I've noticed a few co-workers scratching and scratching their "dry" legs.

My sister told me about this but I didn't try it yet.

My sister swears by Eucerin... i dont usually moisturize... but this year is SO bad that i have been using coconut oil with shea butter

Palmers cocoa butter. Expensive, but worth it.
