My daughter suffers from Eczema and dry skin year round but it gets worse during winter. Every night after I bathed her, I lather her body with Vanicream (local Walgreens) and then I put her onesies. Its like wearing a huge glove all over her body and it works wonders on her skin!! I swear by this cream since I really hate to use steroid prescribed creams on her body. I use it as well for my super dry and cracked hands in addition to the L'Occitane Ultra rich body cream which is rich in Shea butter. The cracked hands is for using dish detergents, heat and sanitizers, sigh...

Pure extra-virgin coconut oil will do wonders for dry skin. It's a solid at room temp, melts in your hand and absorbs very quickly. Almost all grocery stores carry it these days - it's yummy in baked goods instead of butter.
To help heal the cracks add a drop of Frankincense or Geranium Essential oil to whatever you use 2-3 times per day. PM me if you'd like info on reputable brands of essential oils that do actually work - not just smell nice.
