Moisturizer skin creams;

More fat in your diet;

Humidifiers in the house.

I agree. It is amazing what adding just a little fat to the diet can do

and my skin always feel better with moisturizers.

Help wanted-sandpaper skin!

My face-especially my cheeks (except nose), legs around my ankles and wrists

are really, really dry. This is a new thing for me (except my legs). I

thought it was just from a makeup change or perhaps our new coal stove. I

haven't been wearing make up lately because of it (gasp) and I've had a pot

of potpourri on the coal stove but the air is dry (static, etc). Could it

be I haven't started vit e yet? I'm working on the fluids, doing pretty

good here. Any suggestions?

Hugs,

Lori

for non-facial parts of the body a GREAT moisturizer is Crisco. I know it

sounds yukky but a doc told me about it. She said well if the FDA approves

it as something to go IN your body it is safe to go ON your body. A lot

cheaper than standard moisturizers, less chance of being allergic. Once you

get past the idea of slathering grease on your skin it really works well.

Does anyone remember the original Weight Watchers program had 3 fats a day?

I was told it was primarily for our skin.

My midwife had us putting olive oil on Joanne when she was tiny to help

her flaky scalp. I called it " making a Joanne salad " -- she didn't seem

to care, and it did work! LOL

Yep! My oldest son had infant excema and his pediatrician said the same

thing. I didn't do it. It didn't seem quiet right coating a baby in

Crisco!

I used to use Crisco and it worked great. Don't know why I stopped using

it. It would probably be more fun if you mixed it with essential oil, or

some kind of fragrence and put it in a nice container. I just used mine

straight out of the can, and it was a little weird.

Anyway thanks for the reminder. I am suffering again from " winter skin "

Remember when putting mayo on your hair was the in thing? I wonder if it

had anything to do with the fat content.

I am sure it does - my daughter, when 6 years old (now 33), had skin so

dry on her hands that it would crack and bleed - the dermatologist

instructed me to wash her hands, leave them damp and coat them in Crisco

then cover with socks or mittens for 24-48 hours. When we took the

mittens off, her hands were soft and smooth and not in the least bit

dry.

And I'm pretty sure I remember reading that Sophia Loren uses olive oil on

her skin every day. She looks pretty darned good for her

I would advise using the lightest olive oil you can find. I heard about

olive oil a few years ago and used the most " virgin " I could find. Big

mistake. I smelled like a salad and couldn't get the oil smell out of my

clothes or sheets and towels. My skin sure felt good though.

We had a real disaster when my daughter was about 12 - I woke up on a

school morning and heard her crying in the bathroom. I went in and her

waist length hair was in one spike!! Seems she had found some very old

Aberto VO5 and used it. She had washed her hair 7 times by the time I

got up. I washed it 5 more times - still the spike!! Then I did what we

did in Critical Care when someone came into the unit after a car

accident (blood and glass, grass and goop from the ER etc.), I went

strand by strand with an alcohol swab. Used an entire box and STILL one

spike. She was almost hysterical and I was absolutely befuddled. Finally

phoned our beautician who told us to use a laundry de-greaser. One wash

and her hair was clean. We both still have nightmares about that day!!

This morning, in my typical eyes still closed way, I washed my hair with

body wash. Sigh. Wow, I think it foamed up better and was squeaky cleaner

than with shampoo! LOL!

Hah! I can go ya one better on " eyes still closed " stories. Those of you who

still have a hanging panni are probably familiar with various ointments used

to treat the skin irriation one sometimes gets from that? A few weeks ago, I

brushed my teeth with it. Can you say YUCK? and EWWWWWWWWWWW?

If this " sandpaper " skin is rather sudden onset, I'd see a

dermatologist. I had that once and it turned out to be some kind of

eczema, brought on by too much sun. I got a prescription cream that

cleared it right up. The fact that it's on legs as well as face may

mean it's different, but it wouldn't hurt to check with a specialist.
