MORE: 9 Bad Habits That Make Your Winter Skin So Much Worse Bolster Your Barrier The skin on the hands acts like a barrier to keep moisture in, says Monica Halem, MD. If this barrier is disrupted by extreme weather conditions , sun exposure, dry air, or certain disease processes, the result can be very dry, itchy, red, cracked, and sore hands. To combat this, reestablish the skin barrier on your hands. “The skin barrier is made of three key elements—ceremide, cholesterol, and triglyceride,” Halem says. There are several creams and lotions on the market that contain all three ingredients; check the label to make sure all three are listed. “And keep in mind that a cream (oil-water mix) is much richer than a lotion (water-oil mix), and better to use for dry hands,” she says. Don't Go Near The Water Although you were probably taught to wash your hands often throughout the day, if you have chapped hands, water is not your friend. In fact, water is the worst influence for chapped hands....

Robe: Barefoot Dreams | Earrings: Nordstrom | Lips: Turkish Delight by NARS | Bath Cart: One Kings Lane (on sale) | Candle: Voluspa … Happy Monday! We just returned home from a family vacation to Lake Powell and It’s one of my very favorite destinations to spend time with my family! If you’ve never been to Lake Powell or seen a photo, it’s the most beautiful lake that’s completely surrounded by towering red rock cliffs in the heart of the Arizona/Utah deserts. We have so much fun spending a week out on the water playing in the sun, but seriously, my skin gets SO dry (especially my shoulders and legs). Recently, I’ve been using the Perlier products each time after I shower or take a bath and I can’t believe what it’s done for my skin! My skin feels hydrated again and so smooth every time I use it (even Drew noticed, which is a big deal ;). … First, I use the Honey Body Tightening Gel  after I shave my legs and soap up. I love this stuff because it gets all of my dead skin off, smells...

[ deleted account ] Quoting Shanda: This is going to sound weird, but I have a friend, and she has tried everything on her son. She has found that Crisco, the lard not oil, has worked wonders . She puts it on him the night before and clean him up in the morning. I hope that helps. The Crisco might work well.  I had a Dr. actually recommend it for a problem my daughter was having when she was very young, and it worked like a charm.  According to the doc, it was pretty useful for a variety of skin conditions.  Can you imagine I actually had to send it to school with her in a little tub with the Dr.'s "prescription" attached?! [ deleted account ] I use this kind of hard-to- find cream called Resinol .  You may have to ask your pharmacist to order it for you, but it isn't a prescription.  It's a mixture of calamine, zinc oxide, & resorcinol and is made by the Mentholatum Co.  If you know a mom & pop pharmacy, they might even have it on hand; that's usual...
