Does ST have suggestions for dealing with dry skin?

Posted by ty97 Feb 5 '13, 09:45

I've always had pretty dry skin and it is worst in winter, but it has now just gotten ridiculous. My skin is so dry that a cut/crack has developed on my friggin big toe (which rubs on my shoe when I walk *grumble*)

I clearly need to do something

Baby oil in the shower and Carmex lip balm for spot touchup. Honestly though, a cracked toe seems like the least likely place to see dryness. - Max Feb 5, 09:54 10
- This probably goes back, in part, to the footwear conversation below. - ty97 Feb 5, 09:57 9
  - I honestly think a lot of your trouble with the cold climate goes back to not wearing proper clothes. -- nm - loosilu Feb 5, 09:58 8

also, to heal the skin now, slather vaseline on your feet, before bed, wear *loose* socks over top. -- nm - Andie Feb 5, 09:51 1
