Ultra dry skin on shins - recommendations?

[hermioneweasley]

No problems elsewhere, but skin on my shins is so dry, I could be called "lizard legs". I have tried: olive oil, baby oil, body butters, Shea butter, epaderm and regular exfoliation. Nothing seems to penetrate and moisturise.

Any recommendations from vipers with gorgeous pins?

Alpha Keri lotion. You can get it on Amazon. Trust me on this one!

Go to doctor and get Doublebase on prescription. Works wonders on my dry skin. I tried all that you listed and still could literally peel my flaky skin.

Bio Oil

Thanks for the recommendations - will check them out!

I'm sure I read a thread about this a while ago and the This Works leg oil was recommended as a wonder product.

Good old coconut oil, dead cheap and works beautifully. And do exfoliate - I love the Soap and Glory body scrubs from Boots

Bio Oil too. Nothing else works for me.

not washing every day and never with soap.
aveeno has made a big improvement for my eczema.

and not washing too warm.

Coconut oil.

Eucerin lotion with urea or epaderm works wonders on my scaly shins.
