Dry, Dry, Itchy Flaky Skin

[ZigZag]

I find anything with Tea Tree Oil in it does wonders for most things. I actually just got an ointment for my daughters hands as they'd become really dry and rough with washing hands lots through winter and it was mostly gone within 48 hrs.

I find most health food stores have a good selection of products with tea tree oil in them. Keep the water intake up too. I notice I need more through winter when its drier.

Hope you get relief soon.

There is a great product called bio oil. cant remember how much it costs but is great for areas like your boobs (a tiny bit goes a long way). I have really sensitive skin as well and use cetaphil moisturiser from the chemist. It has no extra additive stuff in it as feels great when u put it on. Only about $7 a bottle. You can get bigger tubs for your body. The bigger the tub the cheaper it beccomes. Hope this helps. Drink heaps of water and try and stay away from electric blankets and really hot baths/showers. If it doesnt get any better, go to a beautician and have a full body exfoliation and moisturising wrap. It might cost a little bit but it will be worth it. You deserve to spoil yourself!!
Hope the itching goes away soon.

Thanks for the suggestions will try them all out.

Can't wait for winter to be over. I am having hot showers and keeping the electric blanket on all night. We don't have a heating this year (long story) so the dry air isn't helping either.

Guess I'll just have to keep up with the water and rubbing everything known to man on my skin to make it better in the mean time, cause I am not giving up my electric blanket

If that fails I will splash out and go to a beautician, never been to one before so maybe they can help me!!
