Re: does anyone know whats good for dry skin relief

iodine and cod liver oil work for me.

I've never asked my doctor for anything for the dry skin we all get, but

this year my legs are super itchy and dry. Does anyone know of a good over the

counter product that is good? I've tried many lotions, and they seem fine at

first, but after the lotion really drys out, the itchiness is even worse.

Is there any products that doctors give that are really good too?

Thanks

The best thing for dry skin is to check for low hormones. That would be

thyroid, estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, etc. As both women and

men get older we dry up because of declining hormone status. When I was

a young guy my hair used to get oily and I had to shampoo everyday. My

skin was moist and no wrinkles. As you get older skin gets dryer, you

can see that your heel pad on your feet gets thicker, your skin gets

older looking and dry. All of these corrected since I have been on

Armour thyroid, replacement testosterone, adrenal and melatonin replacement.

You can rub gallons of oil on, that is not the root cause.

Hi TyBlossom,

My husband and I were both having dry skin problems. His was so bad,

especially in the winter, that he was digging big sores in his arms.

Mine, thankfully, was not nearly so bad. The solution we found was to

eliminate all commercial soaps in our bath. We bought a life-time

membership in a local organic food/health store (about 40 miles away).

One of the products they carry is a natural soap made using goat's

milk. It comes in many wonderful fragrances (natural herbs and

essential oils). It's called ZumBar. The price online is about the

same as we pay in the health store (10% markup w/o membership). We

love the smell of all of them!

Here is a link to their website...

most md type things are overly expensive and not necessarily beneficial in

the ways you expect.'

For dry skin, try extra Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and high-pH therapy. Many

cases OF " dry skin, " are an early manifestation of psorias, which itself is

a disease of poor nutritional support coupled up WITH high acidity or low

pH.
