dry skin

My skin gets really dry in the winter, nothing I use seems to help it. I try drinking a lot of water, and there's no way I'm going to shower with cold water! Does anyone have any body butter recs?

Be sure to use it as quick as you can after your shower, to lock in moisture.
I actually got a sample of one of the butters! They were really nice. The little pack lasted about 2 weeks!

By the way, my favorite moisturizer is MOR Body Butter in Fig and Olive (olive LEAF, that is). It's hard to find, but if you can--buy it. It's a little pricey, but it's very moisturizing yet non-greasy, and has a beautiful non-food scent. I'm pretty sure they have a website, too.
Wow! Thanks! I didn't know that was you! :oops:

Unfortunately, I can't take the caps. My mom has Evening Primrose Oil, but on the bottle it says that people under 18 (like me) shouldn't take it. What about eating more EFAs, like tuna?

as others have pointed out - oatmeal-based products are wonderfully soothing for dry skin.

Don't worry about what other people think. They don't do it very often.
The season is wreaking havoc on my skin now, too. And I have a gift certificate for Ulta. Which ones do you recommend from there? Any that are unscented? (or nearly unscented?)
THANKS!
most fragrances will cause dryness.
i use a shea butter/olive oil cream from a Canadian drugstore line that only has the natural scent of the shea butter.
