Jergens Ultra Healing Extra Dry Skin Moisturizer
(That is its real name, verbatim)

This stuff kicks ass! Took the complimentary mini-sized version of it from my hotel room last week... and I gotta say, this stuff will moisturize your bone marrow! :D

4. I have never tried that
I have used the Vaseline Aloe Lotion, which I never even needed until I moved from a damp climate to a much drier one (and a very high altitude too). Thanks for the recommendation!

6. I love the Jergens regular with the cherry almond scent. It was off the
market for awhile. It's a scent from my childhood...much missed. I found a huge, no enormous, tub of it the other day and bought it to put next to the sink. Now my days are filled with sweet cherry almond happiness. :hi:

10. I would probably eat it! Sounds good!
Childhood scents can be evocative. And a mixed bag. I remember the scent of Vicks Vapo-Rub easily, but am not eager to re-live it. :hi:

33. Yum! Sounds good enough to eat.
Over the holidays, BBW had a vanilla-something-or-other scent that smelled just like buttercream frosting. I couldn't buy it! I'd have been too tempted to eat it.

7. I like Curel.
Works good on sensitive skin that gets red and splotchy from the unrefined lanolin in most lotions. Either that or pure Shea Butter when I feel like spending the $$$.

12. I am a hand lotion dumbass!
I don't know half this stuff. When I had extremely dry elbows, some Cornhusker's Lotion worked beautifully, but I didn't like it elsewhere because of the medicinal scent. :-)

Thanks... don't know why, but that just struck me as hysterically funny (and I haven't had too many laughs today lol)

13. Explore plant-based moisturizers
Jergens and most of the other commercial stuff is made with mineral oil and petroleum jelly. These products are made from petroleum. Yes, they are plant-based from way back, but in the meantime they've become kind of nasty things to put on your skin.

Try shea butter, cocoa butter, and almost any kind of plant oil, including olive, almond, apricot kernel, jojoba, avocado, grape seed, etc.

Try making your own bath oil by mixing a few drops of essential oil with a couple tablespoons of grape seed oil.

Look in the DU group on Crafts to find recipes for making your own healthy hand salve.

15. I once used Burt's Bees - Milk n Honey
Edited on Thu Jan-27-05 10:12 PM by ZombyWoof
It smelled good, and it felt nice... but it didn't work well. Definitely a good natural product, and I regret it wasn't for me.

Luckily, there is no shortage of choices. I'll keep those in mind!

28. Aavlon Organics makes a nice thick moisturizer
It's for faces, but I use it on my hands. It comes in a little green pot with a purple lid. Health food stores should have it.

30. Ocean Potion is good
I swear by their After Sun moisturizer.
You can always find Ocean Potion products in beach towns- & also in your local Wal-Marts & K-Marts--- but only during summer

25. I was a history major
But... I was certified to teach English 4-12 in WA state at one time, because I had enough English credits. Should have just minored in it and made it legit. :-)

Thanks for not Jergen me around! ;-)

27. The best moisturizer I've EVER used is not a common one
Edited on Thu Jan-27-05 10:23 PM by HeyManThatsCool
Gold Bond Ultimate Healing Skin Therapy Lotion

This stuff is AMAZING! Utterly fantastic.
I just got it for the first time at Christmas-
I have used every conceivable lotion up until this time.
Jergens, Vaseline, Kiehls, Queen Helenes, Nivea, Cetaphil, Body Butters, things from Crabtree & Evelyn, Bath & Body Works, Berts Bees, Kiss My Face... You name it, I had tried it.

This delivers in a way no other lotion has. I highly recommend it!

Worth every cent of the $7.99 for the pump bottle

31. I second your vote for Gold Bond Ultimate Healing Skin Therapy Lotion.
I just bought my first bottle and love it. My hand get so dry in the winter, they make a cactus look smooth. This stuff works.
