Sometimes I get the weirdest patches of dry skin on my feet and elbows. I’m not exactly sure how they get there, but I know exactly what to use to soften them away. Some people swear by Vaseline, but the smell of the petroleum makes my head spin. Instead I use Nivea Skin Creme, and I’m not sure what the ingredient difference is, but the stuff imported from Germany simply rocks. I slather it on, wrap my parts in plastic wrap, and then let the magic work overnight. The creme has a light rose scent that’s not too strong or annoying, and even after the next morning, the scent still lasts.

My other favorite skin softening product is Lubriderm’s Intense Skin Repair Calming Relief Body Lotion. My face gets incredibly dry, and this is what I use to whip it back in shape. It’s better than any face lotion or cream I’ve ever tried, crazy as that sounds. Most of the other lotions and creams wind up making my skin feel like ti’s on fire when I apply it, but I haven’t found Lubriderm to be irritating at all. And it’s unscented, so there’s no chance of added perfumes to sting my eyes. It works for me!
