Winter can make dry skin especially irritating. The December issue of Mayo Clinic Health Letter offers tips to relieve winter itch.

Soak in the tub: Keep the water lukewarm. The temperature shouldn’t be above 90 F. Adding bath oil to the water may help retain and replenish the oil in your skin.

Use soap sparingly: If possible, limit soap use to your face, armpits, genitals, hands and feet. Avoid antibacterial and deodorant soaps. Mild cleaners such as Cetaphil, Dove or Vanicream are less drying. Avoid products with fragrances and lauryl sulfates, which can be irritating.

Pat skin dry: Avoid rubbing or wiping your skin. Instead, leave it moist by gently patting or blotting with your towel.

Moisturize: Immediately after drying off, apply a thick moisturizing cream or ointment. Avoid creams or lotions that contain alcohol.

Use a humidifier: Keep indoor air moisture levels at 40 to 50 percent. Keep your house on the cool side; between 68 F and 75 F is reasonable.

Peace & Blessings,

“I’m not a writer because I wrote a book. I wrote a book because I was inspired by God.”

So true. My feet have gone dry over the years. Has anyone found a cream that really helps? I've tried dozens, but no luck.

Hannelore, I have the same problem on my elbows. They are so dry and cracked--ugly gray/brown color. The only thing I have found that works and is softening them up is Mary Kay Extra Emmolient Night Creme. I put it on at night and in the am my elbows are soft. I know it's going to take some time before my skin is softened and restored in the under layers, but at least I have found something that is beginning to work.

I put Vaseline on my feet at night and then put on a pair of socks and sleep with the socks on (no problem since my feet are the first thing that get cold). My feet are soft and smooth......it really helps. I also read in a magazine where this is a good thing to do before you work out.....supposedly when you work up a sweat it helps the Vaseline absorb into your skin better. Go light with the Vaseline or it'll really make a mess out of your socks!!

Hanelore, Ann is absolutely right on and the Vaseline can't be beat. It works, is long lasting and you won't find a cheaper product. Plus its perfectly safe always and you can wash the socks...I am never without my Vaseline.....Also if you should feel a cold or sore throat coming on rub Vicks onto the bottom of your feet, put on warm socks and you'll be better by morning....honest injun!
