Thanks. I'm going to try it. My toe nails get dry, too.@Ruthanne I rub a little over my toe nails, so it acts as a barrier cream, before I shower/bathe. My nails had become dry and I read that water (daily showers/bathing) was the likely cause. I also massage some more in afterwards and it seems to work as my nails are fine now. I find it also works well on hands, elbows and knees - all the areas which can get dry - you only need to use a little and it works a treat
yes I agree with this it's been a little bugbear of mine for the many years I've been using it.. cream tube or Jar..That's the one I started to buy recently, it really is good. I like the one in the jar better, the tube seems to be a bit thinner and it's hard to get the last of it out of the tube. I bought it for my husband, his hands and knuckles were very dry and he won't use anything, he hates the greasy feeling. He's okay with this, but I still have to push him to use it when his hands feel too rough. I use it once daily, usually in the evening before bed, I think I'll be using this for many years now.
.. but I still prefer it to any other hand-cream on the market, and as my hands get easily dry and cracked I use hand-cream every single day
I wouldn't have Vaseline on my feet in the shower.@Ruthanne I rub a little over my toe nails, so it acts as a barrier cream, before I shower/bathe.

No, not on your feet in the shower (or bath) just on your toe nails.
I like this Alba un-petroleum stuff!
I like the Nubian heritage products, too. What I did with the really thick stuff was to transfer it to a jar. So much easier to get at!
I do the same thing. That comes in especially handy when I'm getting ready to go somewhere and am in a hurry.
Got any recommendations, @Pinky?
I use whatever my daughter gives me, that she buys from different places online. She doesn't buy Shiseido, which is well known in North America.

Goldbond brand has a new product called Crepe Corrector. You get a big tube and it's pretty cheap. I put it on my turkey neck and forgot to do it the next. I did see a change though. I'm going to use it again.Stop teasing!
I had a nasty rash that started last Spring. It began around the ears and took over my scalp. Then a finger got infected and I went to the urgent care.
They lanced and squeezed my fingertip and told me to soak it Epsom salts each day for 2 weeks and gave me a course of antibiotics.
I also got a steroid for the rash.
Well that rash started to abate, but then spread down my neck to my shoulders and down both arms. Then on my belly, then the inside of my thighs. Saw the regular Doc and "It's nerves. Stop scratching."
I got a tub of Eucerin Advanced Repair and one of Aquaphor Healing. Then a fat tube of Eucerin Anti-Itch with Oats. Throw in alternation with witch hazel with aloe and for bad days a spray can of aloe with 1% lidocaine.
I took months to get it into abeyance, and finally under control, then gone.
But the other day we had some really bright sunshine, coming in at a low angle when I was taking my BP. Man! In that light my arms' and hands' skin sure looks weird. I think they call it "crepey" skin.
So I'll probably use one of those creams to moisturize, since I have plenty on hand yet. I guess it has been dry for a while with the heat on and all. I think I'll try to use cooler water to shower too, but that's tough in the Winter. It can feel so good just to bask in the warmth!
