starstarstarstarstar 		Try Jojoba
by: Beccie

Hi,
You may want to try to take baths with jojoba oil. It makes a luxurious bath with a few Dawn bubbles, you'll feel like a new person. Remember to make it special with every bath. Your mood will help make the experience a delight. Time out just for you, no kids, no noise, just a few candles, a soaking tub with oil, maybe a little soothing music and you'll feel like a new person with very soft skin. Can't beat it. Hope you enjoy it.

by: Grandma

Hi Lori,

I have no doubt that olive oil would help your dry skin problems. You mentioned washing in just water but I'd keep using soap but just be careful what kind of soap you use. Keep with all natural soap, nothing with fragrance or chemicals or dye. Neutrogena is a really good soap to use or go to your local herb shop or natural food organic food section and see if you can find some natural soap. After every shower put a generous amount of olive oil in the dry areas and let it soak in. It will not only give your skin moisture it will also feed your skin. Olive oil is all good stuff inside your body and outside. So make sure you use as much as you can on your salads and in cooking.

PS Sometimes you have to treat dry skin from the inside out. You might want to consider taking Omaga Oils everyday.
