How does one treat chronically dry skin?
Tyson&Chino asked:
My skin tends to be very dry and it only gets worse during the winter months. Are there any good (affordable) skin products that provide very-dry skin with necessary relief? I use a lotion that contains AHAs for my KP so I can understand how it may dry up my skin even more.
I would also appreciate any advice for home remedies or any supplements that I can take to better my skin. By the way, I do keep hydrated so I know that my dry skin is not a result of inadequate water intake.
Thanks!
What is the best moisturizer for sensitive dry skin?
Colleen asked:
I use proactive and it works wonders for my breakouts, but it makes my skin very dry and flaky. I desperately need a moisturizer, preferably one at a drugstore price but if you have something more expensive please share! What do you use? What would help my skin the most? My skin is sensitive.
How do I moisturise really dry skin on my hands?
SarahW asked:
I’ve got really dry, lined skin on the back of my hands. I know it’s definately not eczema but it’s been like that all the way through winter. I apply skin creams at least twice daily which work temporarily, until I wash my hands. Even creams for eczema and E45 aren’t working. I’ve tried putting the cream on and then wearing plastic gloves, but it still doesn’t work. There’s no reason for them to be so bad, I don’t spend a lot of time outdoors or spend a lot of time with them in water. Has anybody got any tips for remedies I could try out at home?

What natural items can I give my dog to help with dry skin?
Kamunyak asked:
My Pit Bull has dry skin and is itching all the time. He does not have fleas but he does have dandruff… What can I feed him that will help with the dry skin. I have special shampoo for dry skin but I do not know how well it works considering that everytime he gets a bath it drys out his skin even more. Any vitamins or foods you guys could recommend would be great!
Thanks.
Okay… My dog eats Nutro Max Beef and Rice dog food. It is all natural and is a high quality food. His mother has skin problems and that is why I want to nip this in the **** before it becomes a huge problem.
