body lotion, skin creamsI use body lotion to keep my skin from getting that nasty winter dryness.  Not only does dryness feel dry, but it actually can be painful.  It gets so dry, it starts to peel and then it feels like a burning pain on my skin.  Considering how much I have to wash my hands to keep germs off during flu season, it's no wonder that I need body lotion on my hands!  My arms and legs get really dry and cracked too, so I am always putting lotion on them as well.  My legs look like alligator skin, and when I apply the lotion it makes them look back to normal.  I like to buy skin creams that smell really nice as well as working well.  I buy a lot of all-natural body lotions to use because they don't have any alcohol in them, which only contributes to dryness.  At night after I take a bubble bath, I apply my lotion and that really moisturizes my dry, winter skin.  It feels soft and smooth and ready for bed.
