What's the best cure for itchy dry "winter skin"?

I get it bad every winter, and I hate it! I've found a few decent lotions that provide a quick fix for most of the dryness, but it only gets to the surface, so even after I apply it, I still feel very itchy!

What's the best cure for itchy dry "winter skin"?
anything with urea (found in the diabetiv section of the drug store or behind he pharmacy counter - no perscription) is super hydrating, but a little pricey - about $10 a tube...something i have found helpful is Olay Quench - unscented for sensitive skin - it's not as expensive and as long as you apply it once a day it works wonders and i have very dry skin (the skin on my hands used to be so dry that it cracked!) - hope it heps...
Reply:After I shower but before I dry off, I put on baby oil. Then dry off. It will really moisturize your skin, protect it from the weather, and keep it really soft.


I have extremely sensitive skin and this has worked for me for years.
Reply:Original Curel lotion is the best. When you come out of the shower, towel dry yourself and rub it in while you are still damp. It will make your skin really soft.
Reply:I use Olay Moisturinse In Shower Body Lotion. I love it. I get really itchy skin in the winter, and this takes care of it. Our local Wal-Mart has it on the same aisle as the soap.
Reply:Make sure that you lotion does not have any perfume or scent to it because in this end, it will just end up drying your skin. I also have very dry skin in the winter and have found that if I use baby oil and then lotion (I use lubriderm) right after I shower, I don't have that much of a problem. It helps keep the moisture in. Also, use soap for sensitive skin (also unscented) and don't shave your legs, underarms, or face without using a moisturizing shaving cream. Put a humidifier in your bedroom at night to help keep the room air from getting too dry. In the winter, the heat takes the humidity out of the air and that is why your dry skin worsens.
Reply:I have very sensitive, dry skin and the OLAY products work wonders for me. I use the body wash, in shower lotion and the quench body lotion and I have seen an improvement in my skin overnight. I also use it on my 3 yr old who also has dry skin and it works well for both of us without irritation.
