I always thought Nivea creme was the most effective. That's what grandma said, lol. It's the higher ratio of oil to water, she said, that makes the difference, and the paraffin. The recipe hasn't changed in over 100 years, so it's old school stuff. My mother used to make homemade Nivea with a recipe from the old country.
Best moisturizer for dry skin?

For me , Glaxal base is working very well ..
It is hypoallergenic & no parfume
It is NOT for you if you are prone to acnea ..
It is mostly for very dry skin or for pregnant women to prevent the stretch marks..
I use it on my skin after shower or after sun exposure..

Pure life Body Lotion Coconut. It can be found at Walmart I use it all the time and the body wash ..
Always used MOM's JERGINS for fap time .... I had the most soft supple moisturized pecker all thru high school.... highly recommend.
Exactly the same as me. Once the temperature hits 0 degrees the problems start again.
So many things being advised and from a long time ago. What is the best contemporary item for dry and cracking skin? I'm a bartender by trade and I have a feeling that the over exposure to water and high acidity has taken a toll on my hands. I've tried most of the products mentioned here but the only thing happening was my skin kept creating more open wounds as the problem seemed to be an underlying cause rather than just dryness itself. Only after that I got the opportunity to explore more advanced innovations by https://www.cofttek.com/nicotinamide-mononucleotide/ and the way they work on your overall health and skin condition has left me speechless.

1. When using cleaning products always wear disposable gloves. Box of 100 disposable gloves may be expensive [now], but it is cheaper than medications and specialized moisureizers. And nothing beats the feeling of non-itchy irritated skin.
2. For most of your daily cleaning at home, use mixture of Vinegar and Water. Cleansers like Fantastic are like acid. Just watch the effect it has on insects. Don't want that on your skin.
3. Don't use hand sanitizer - ever. That stuff will slowly destroy your skin. Just don't put your hands in your orifices while out in public and you will not get viruses in your system. And yes, you can't pick your nose unless you are in the bubble of your car or home. For the germaphobes on here, you may apply it to your palms only. But never to the back of your hands. Palms have evolved to be very resilient.
4. Only moisturize with products that you could actually ingest without poisoning yourself or making yourself vomit. So what does that mean? Use natural cold pressed oils: Olive Oil, Apricot Seed Oil, Coconut Oil to moisturize. First dampen you skin with water, then apply the oil, massage it in, then blot semi-dry with a paper towel. Your skin will look and feel amazing.
5. Moisturize from the inside. That means actually adding cold pressed oils into your smoothies, salads, et cetera.

I swear by Aveeno eczema care line for the winter time with the dry skin and also the smoothing oatmeal bath treatment done once a week has really had a huge difference on the smoothness and amount of dryness one occurs .
Dries my hands too, but I use aveeno lotion all the time and that helps, my hands use to peel. Also using gloves while washing the dishes helps too.
ive used okeeffes and its good, but find too greasy and does not dry fast. i have used cucina in the harsh winter for my dry cracked hands and it works wonders. its thick, absorbs well and dries fast.I like that stuff. ^^^
Great stuff as well. ^^^
I have another reason. Early June I was golfing and put on sanitizer. It was a warm day and by the 14th hole the backs of my hands were beet red and burnt. I don't think it was from any of the chemicals in there, but from the glycerin which is a thickening agent. It acted like a magnifying glass and intensified the rays from the sun. My right hand was worse because the way I grip my club exposes my right hand to the sun more than my left hand.
It was an unintentional experiment. LOL
