Really itchy skin? seems to only happen everytime around this season.?
You have dry skin.





Put lotion on . I recommend Cetaphil .. you can buy it at Walmart and it is Dermatologist recommended. It's a little expensive though. Make sure you get a lotion without Mineral Oil.
Reply:If you just put up a real christmas tree, I would try getting a faux one.
Reply:Use Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion. I have the same problem and this is the only lotion I've found that actually does exactly what it says it'll do. It continues to work for 24 hours. Love it, wouldn't get through the winter without it.
Reply:I love Oil or Olay in shower moisture lotion. Also baby oil gel moisturizes real well and stays on.
Reply:Changes in temperature can cause itching especially cold to warm. Wrap up well and climatise slowly when entering somewhere warm
Reply:it s probably becuz u have dry skin. keep urself moisturize 24/7. try switching to Dove for ur soap and lotion. that helped me a lot.
Reply:put lotion on after you shower.. Donot use too hot of water it dry your skin... put lotion on when every you can


and it because it winter time.. and the weather make it dry...
Reply:Chances are it's the cold weather making your skin drier and itchy. My suggestion a really good moisturizer. Something specifically for dry skin. Good luck!
Reply:Chances are the air is very dry from being winter and that is what is making you itch so much. Go invest in some lotion! and good luck!
Reply:Looks like your skin will be very dry in winter. So make sure you put on some lotion especially after shower or bath or maybe before bed.
Reply:its just dry skin try aveeno.
Reply:Ahh winter time is here. The cooler air, heavier clothing and use of heaters cause the skin to dry and becomes itchy.


Several things you can do. Use fabric softener, drink more water, use an air humidifier and use Aveeno Moisturizing Lotion after a shower. Its the best lotion, something about the oatmeal makes your skin feel yummy and stays soft a long time. Get the kind with the green label.


And don't scratch!
Reply:Winter is horrible for skin with the cold weather and then the heat inside drying out the skin. Drink lots of water and find a really good body lotion.





Mary Kay has TimeWise Visibly Fit Body Lotion that my friend swears is the only thing that helps her with the dry itchy skin in the winter.
Reply:Since it's winter and the air is pretty dry, it is important to moisturize with a thick lotion.
Reply:Make sure with a health professional's help that you aren't allergic to anything. If you're suffering from eczema, see a homeopath for a long-term cure.


But if you're just suffering from really, really dry skin, then take more fish or Omega oils. Avoid perfumed bath or shower soaps. When you step out of a bath or shower, while your skin is still wet, put a few drops of baby oil in your hand, rub your palms together and then run your hands all over body. After that, towel off the excess water. Use hydrating body lotions for very dry skin afterwards, or just a thin layer of plain petroleum jelly. At night, apply some almond oil all over before bedtime.


A light sheen of plain Crisco is also good for dry skin.
Reply:Winter time is notorious for zapping the moisture out of your skin. Try some cocoa butter or body cream - Bath and Body Works has some great smelling body butters.
Reply:Dry Skin! Could be caused by the dry air inside your home/work or school and or the soap you use.


check out a few of these natural products at http://www.swissjustusa.com they have body washes and lotions as well as a product called lamelloderm that is great for anyone with severe skin issues. I think that the right product will solve your problem!
Reply:Aveeno moitruizing lotion with the oatmeal in the beige and blue bottle!! It really relieves itchy dry skin!
Reply:It's probably because you have dry skin. I have that problem too, and I find that moisturizing the skin with lotion especially formulated for dry skin helps a whole lot.
Reply:moisturize daily. that happens to me too, but my cousin gave me some really cool body lotion from bath and body works. it's really thick but it helps a lot.





good luck!!!








p.s: drink lot's of water.


tip from my doctor
Reply:Try lotion that has lots of moisturizer in it. During the winter time, skin can get really dry. Also, it may help to drink lots of water.
Reply:i usually get really dry skin around this time of year too. I suggest using cocoa butter or shea butter, not lotions. But butter helps to kind of seal moisture in. It's kind of thick but you can get used to it, especially since it will stop the itching.
Reply:Shower with a very mild soap like L'Occitane Milk Soap. There are no harsh detergents in it.





Humidify your house.





Shower with warm water, pat dry but leave a little moisture on your skin.





Then apply hypoallergenic Alba Botanica very emollient lotion mixed with a little of their organic Kukui Nut oil (as long as you are not allergic to nuts). You may have to shop online to find it.





This regime works for me and I live in the cold north! I have been using their products for years bc I have very sensitive skin.
Reply:there are special cortizone creams you can use, and pills like Zirtec that help alleviate seasonal itching caused by allergies. however, extreme itching like in your case is also a major symptom of Hodgkin's Lymphoma (u mite want to check this out). if u go to wikipedia and just type in itching u'll see all the causes. find out wats bothering u. it can be ur detergent or even the shampoos and soaps u use, or even something more serious.g luck
Reply:u probally got eczema


there is medicine u can get for it
Reply:Just to let you know...you've got a bad case of dry skin. Get a really good mosturizer for your face, baby oil for you during your bath, a good heavy lotion for healing (something with oatmeal in it). That should help! Dry skin gets worse in the winter too.
Reply:Use any germicidal soap, and take a bath everytime you feel itchy...
