I usually have pretty good skin, but lately it's been really red (mostly in my cheeks) and dry. I'm in the water a lot for swimming and my job. I use a facial lotion or Jergens everyday after I get out of the water, but it's still red and kinda dry.
Any suggestions of other lotions to try or ideas how to get the reddness to go away?
I have kind of sensitive skin also, so fragrence free would be nice. :)

Cutomol (sp?) I get it from a derm. viscous and unscented.
Sounds like the emulsifying ointment I need to use for excema. Very effective, but makes your clothes a bit greasy. Better than the alternative, though. Emulsifying ointment is:
Emulsifying Wax 30%
White soft Paraffin 50%
Liquid Pariffin 20%
When mixed 1:4 with water it is called Aqueous Cream in the UK. With something smelly, Aqueous Cream retails at 3 times the price under the name of E45.
Emulsifying ointment is a "base" for adding active ingredients - usually steroids - to make the familiar skin remedies.
