What's Your Favorite Products For Dry Skin?

oatmeal. I get patchy dry skin around my nose/eyes and ears.. I use eucerin. put it on and i am good for a couple months
 

I find coconut oil good for cleansing and moisturizing facial skin. I press a warm washcloth over my face, then gently rub a generous amount of coconut oil in, massaging my entire face, even eyelids and lips. Then I soak the washcloth with warm water, wring it out, and gently wipe the coconut oil off, rinsing the cloth frequently. You must be sure to remove all of the oil. If you try it, you will be amazed at refreshed your skin will feel! Sometimes I finish off with a commercial moisturizer, but often I just leave it at that.

I am wondering, and curious why, you had posted a surprised/shocked icon, in response to my post#2 in this thread?

You haven't heard of applying skin moisturizers, in general, immediately following a bath or shower?
I am not sure whether the warm water opens the pores, or if the water is trapped under the applied oil, but I do know that it does work much better for me, when done with that timing, rather than in between to my dry skin.
Or something else in my post? Almond oil?

That sounds nice to me. I think I will try it, if I get a chance to.
Could I use any type of coconut oil, from the grocery store?

@carouselsilver, I do use coconut oil, but not on the face the way you've described it. I think I'll try that — thanks!

I wasn't trying to imply anything (and I use the "wow" icon just to say "wow"). I just hadn't thought of it, and thus my surprise. That said, thanks for the tip. :)

E45. It's widely advertised in the UK. Can you get it in the US?

I had not heard of it before, (don't think it's advertised)
and I don't know if it's sold in the USA, other than from Amazon.
Thanks, though. It looks like a nice product.
