HI,
I've recently moved from a very humid climate to a very dry climate. (OKC, OK to Denver, CO). I have a hard time finding stuff to put in the tub to get rid of the dryness on my back and shoulders after I swim. It's awful. I've tried putting something from Vasiline Intensive care, it's like an oil, and things that bubble up too. And I have to put half the bottle in for it to do anything. Do any of you have any suggestions for what I can try for the bathtub. I have lotions and such, but I would rather it go back in the way it came out, through the water. Thanks a bunch.
Kelli,

OKC is "very humid"!? I'm in the Dallas area, close to OKC, and it is occasionally humid, but I wouldn't call it "very humid". New Orleans is what I would call very humid, and when I moved from there to Dallas, my skin itched for about a year until I acclimated to the dryer climate. I guess it's all relative.
At this time of year when it is cold and dry, I get dry and itchy skin, particularly on my back. I find that keeping the water temperature down in the shower seems to help. Really hot shower water makes it worse.
