Help - I have wicked dry skin

[gardengirl]

Yup, good old Glaxal base. Always a standby. You can definitely add stuff to it such as coconut oil or cocoa butter if you want.
Glaxal is hypoallergenic, unfragranced and won't sting or burn. You can get a big tub at Costco for under $20.

Try olive oil. I also recommend this for stretch marks, during and after pregnancy.
Great for wrinkles too.

The creams that people use for tanning on tanning beds are super moisturizing and full of cocoa butter and other good moisturizers. And actually using a tanning bed now and again can actually help. I know it sounds crazy but it is sometimes recommended for psoriasis and eczema. It has helped my dry skin when I have tried it and mine sounds similar to yours. Good luck!

Re: Coloplast cream, try Attractain sold at Penticton Shoppers Home Health Care (Penticton Plaza beside Shoppers Drug Mart) It is a cream with an exfoliating factor as well as moisturizer, reasonable price, a little goes a long way. Ask the ladies in the store, they will tell you all about it. Best cream we have ever used, especially on dry cracked heels.

The best cream is Gental naturals. I do not think you can buy it here any more, but you can get it in the States. Works great on cracked heals too. Awesome cream. It s not a true eczema cream, it helps with it of course but you can use it for very dry skin. If you buy it and you do not like it I will buy it from you. Or I have extra tubes of it, I can give you one. PM me if you want one. :sunshine:
