Very dry and sensitive skin: need moisterizer reccomendation

[VeloVT]

Plain old Nivea cream (the kind that comes in a tub, not a bottle) is great for very dry body skin. The key is to put it on every day right after you shower.

I've used small amounts of aquaphor on, of all place, my eyelids, before -- when I've restarted Retin-A after some time off and my skin goes crazy flaky for a few weeks.

As a couple of people have already mentioned, olive oil is good. It soaks in fairly quickly, and the other good things about it are that it's natural and not expensive. Put it on after your shower. Jojoba oil is good for the face (just don't put too much on)--it is said to be very similar to the natural oils in our skin. The Badger Balms, Burt's Bees etc. are also very good but they do feel pretty greasy. However, they can be put on hands/feet before bed and gloves/socks put on; then in the morning the hands and/or feet will feel really good.

Good timing on this. My hands are starting to crack. I've been using shea butter but without good results. Just got the humidifier going though! Has anyone heard of Egyptian Magic? I was looking online last night and found this all natural product (olive oil). Sounds good but a little pricey.....
