My skin is as dry as ever this winter. When home, all fireplaces are going, humidifier going in bedroom and slathering myself in my usual Cerave. When I remove my black socks...dandruff! My friend suggested Vanicream. Anyone try it?

@Shanus  I haven't tried it but it's supposed to be one of the best, fragrance free, no lanolin , no mineral oil, great for sensitive skin, etc, etc.   It's on my list of things to buy next.  If you try it, would mind you posting your opinion of it?

I can relate to that.  I think any good, rich, very emollient body butter will help.  It probably won't reduce the dry skin flaking entirely but it should help.

@Shanus.  I've been using this stuff for the first time this winter.  Softens skin overnight but best of all, I've been using a tiny bit as a cuticle cream as my brittle fingernails just crumble in the dry heat.  I actually have nails in winter for the first time in years.

Try dry body brushing and dead sea salt bath.

Moisturize with a water based serum and then seal with cream.

@hopi Have the body brush...use it with the salt to exfoliate skin first?

I had a friend that swore by Neutrogina Body Oil from Walmart.  She would put it on after her shower.  Her skin was SO soft.

I freeze if I put something on like that after the shower.

I use Alpha Skin Care Body Lotion with 12% glycolic. It's the only lotion that can tackle my dry scleroderma skin. Nothing else will absorb except that one.
