Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted September 12, 2015 All I can suggest is to stay hydrated and keep using body oil, etc.also, put your body oil on over damp skin. One tip I learned from one of my doctors is to make sure your lotions and moisturizers do not come in a pump bottle. Apparently, the additives (alcohol?) they use to make lotion pumpable is in itself drying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ALLABTME_KISHA 17 Posted September 12, 2015 Thx! Will try apply over damp skin and see how that goes. And, oddly enough I never buy moisturizers with pumps... I always thought that was weird of me, but good thing huh?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Kate_ 2,224 Posted September 12, 2015 Try either virgin coconut oil or Bio oil... both brilliant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thinside 155 Posted September 12, 2015 I'm using coconut oil at least once a week, firming lotion at least twice a week, and Vitamin e oil once a week. Other days I use lotion (Lubriderm, in a pump bottle -- yikes! ) Also, I exfoliate a lot. Mostly because I'm trying to prevent sagging, but so far my skin hasn't been too dry. Also, I've been told to avoid too hot Water in showers and baths. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
