How do you get rid of dry skin?

Ever since i was a baby i have had bad dry skin. I have sensitive skin. I also have eczema. What will work as a daily moisturizer or cleansers etc. That are not harsh to the skin?|||I was born with ichthyosis. It%26#039;s a condition where the skin is very dry and scaly, especially on the shins and bumpy behind the upper arms. (That%26#039;s where the %26quot;ichthy-%26quot; part of the word comes from, meaning fish-like to refer to the scaliness). I have always had to take special care of my skin to keep it from getting itchy and cracked.





After I shower, I use a Eucerin emollient all over. I get it from the pharmacy, no prescription required. It has no scent or colour added and it lasts over 24 hours. The best thing is it is only about $20 for a large jar. Lasts about a month. Don%26#039;t use it on your face, though since it can clog your pores. Instead, try Vaseline Intensive Care for dry/sensitive skin on your face.





I use a prescription corticosteroid cream when I get an outbreak of eczema and that usually takes care of it.





If I have a bath, I use a little oil in the tub and then use my Eucerin/Glycerine/Water after I get out.





Another trick I%26#039;ve recently discovered is after I wash my hair in the shower, I spread a little hair conditioner all over me and then rinse it off without rubbing. That makes my skin even softer.





When I clean or do dishes, I wear super-duper rubber gloves (the kind that are chemical-safe) so that my hands don%26#039;t get red and irritated.





After I wash my hands I use a scent-free moisturizer EVERY time. It%26#039;s a pain but it%26#039;s worth it.





When I purchase jewellery I make sure it is nickel-free. Many people with sensitive skin have a nickel allergy. I do.





Good luck! With good care, you should have no big problems.|||becuase of your eczema you might react differently to certain products. you should go to your doctor and ask them about it and they can proscribe a lotion for you to use. my niece has the same problem and she gets a cream from her doctor every couple of months to take care of the dryness.|||don%26#039;t scrub skin to much
