    Question Do you use lotion?

    What are your favorites?
    Why?


    I am looking for a really good lotion to take away itching but that also has a pleasant aroma. Right now I am using "Peace of Heaven" body butter and it takes away the itch but I cannot seem to find it in the stores anymore and also I promised myself I would not buy anymore toiletries until I used up the rest of my supply.....So hopefully some of ya'lls suggestions will be sitting on my shelf in the bathroom.......

    I use lotion several times a day. My skin is very dry, and my hands are constantly cracking open, even in the summer, if I don't keep up the lotion. The girls here at the village told me about Eucotrin (sp?) ointment, which does work well on my cracked skin.

    Mostly I use the thick Bath & Body works cream in a tube-- it seems to last the longest as far as relief from dry itchy skin. I usually get a supply for Christmas that lasts me all year.

    In my purse I carry a tube of St Ives' something or other-- it's also good, but also doesn't smell too great.

    I also like a Vaseline formula in the blue bottle.... oh, the name escapes me right now.... but it's formulated for use on hands that are washed frequently. The scent isn't great, but, it does seem to last through many hand washings.

    I have horrible cracked feet, sometimes the heels crack so bad they bleed making it hard to walk. I use lotions, and have found that applying neosporin becore applying lotion sure helps alot.

    I use all natural Burts Bees products on my body. I also make sure that I hydrate with plenty of water throughout the day and take 2 tablespoons of my Flax oil. I think the flax has made the biggest difference. Dry cracked heals are so painful! Ouch
