help with dry skin

Originally posted by swimrat 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, Burts Bees has a product for the bath it's a bath oil with lemon oil and some others, it's great for dry skin. Also as Ali said, sesame oil is great.. you could just get a bottle of sesame oil (for cooking) give yourself a little massage with it and take a warm shower afterwards just rinsing the excess off. It will leave your skin feeling much better. good luck! J

I live in Alberta, Canada - it's bloody cold and dry all winter so I use epsom salts (about a cupful) in the bath, combined with some Neutrogena sesame oil. I don't even need moisturizer after that. If that's no good, try adding some skim milk powder to the epsom salts. Good luck!

Dermaskinpro before you swim is great. It idoesn't screw up the filter system of the pool & it keeps your skin soft. Oddly, it also helps keep soem, of my seasonal rashes at bay. If you go to theri website you can get three free samples. www.dermaskinpro.com, I think.
