I've never had dry skin until this week my hands are almost starting to peel. I've tried Aloe and a few facial moisturizers but my hands are still rough(although they smell nice) any suggestions?
Very dry rough hands

Corn Huskers Lotion - you can find it in any drugstore. Doesn't smell great, but if you put it on at night your hands will be in great shape by morning. I rub some on my hands before bed and reapply it in the morning after my shower.
its a quick and cheap two step program:
step 1: take a tablespoon of olive oil and mix with two tablespoons of sugar. combind and rub over your hands for one minute. Then rinse off. pat dry
Step 2: use vasoline combind with any lotion you have.
I would do this before going to bed.

Interesting - I've used a salt scrub before that took all the dead dry skin off my hands - it seems as though this would do much the same thing, only without the sting of literally rubbing salt into my wounds.Originally posted by: LolaWiz

ah it does really work. plus, its so good for your skin to use olive oil!
You have two lotion factories working 24/7 in your underoos.
It's free and fun to moisturize that way.

I personally reccomend Eucerin twice a day. I had the same problem on my legs to the point they itched so bad I would scrath them raw Now my skin (feet too!) are soft as a baby's butt It is the most recommended by dermotologists also.

I use Lubiderm Oatmeal lotion twice a day over my entire body, and Aveeno Foot cream on my feet at night. I never have dry skin except, ironically, at this precise moment I'm posting. Wierd.

Drink more water also (64+oz/day). It'll probably help more than you think.
I drink about 24 oz of water every hour so its not a lack of water. Its just shown up this week. There are some good suggestions here that I'll look into. For all those with dirty minds I expected more people like you but that wasnt what I was going for.
Ugh...I hate that crap. I have some in my backpack for emergencies, but it leaves my hands so greasy that they slide down the side of my pen when I'm trying to write. :|
Nivea has got some good stuff. Lubriderm as well. Get something with mineral oil in it and that should tidy you up pretty good.

Dirty minds?
I used to have dry/chapped lips all the time - started drinking a lot of water and it's not so bad anymore..no offense implied - just trying to help.
