II80,
I have always suffered from dry skin especially in winter months. I love really hot showers too so that makes it even worse. When I come out of the shower I have to put on moisturiser everywhere that I can reach and then get DH to put it on my back. Which he loves cause he puts its straight on without rubbing it into his hands first so squeal as its sooo cold!
I buy the big yellow pump bottle of vasaline for sensitive skin at woollies. Its about $7 but lasts ages and like I said I apply it twice a day after a shower. Since becoming pregnant I also put baby oil on my boobs, bump, but and thighs in the hope that will prevent stretch marks. After all stretch marks are more likely to happen to skin that does not have a lot of elastsin in it.
Try that. For you face, it reallt depends on your skin type but I suffer from very dry skin as mentioned and as soon as I dry my face it feels like its about to crack and split. The only thing I use after I cleanse and tone is my lovely and proven Nutrametics nutramoist cream. Oh I love that stuff. I wait till its on sale. 2 for the price of one and then I buy 2 or more and stash the others.

Good luck with that.
