There comes a time when our skin isn't what it used to be. I find that my arms, especially, and my legs and feet second, are getting really dry, almost to the point of being painful. There's no cracked skin, just really, really dry like a piece of old paper. It almost crinkles when I rub my arms!

I've tried several hand lotions from your usual stores like Target, Walgreens, etc. My question is, is there a lotion that you have found that really works, keeps working after a few minutes? It all seems to vanish on me after no more than just a couple of minutes and it leaves my skin just as dry. EEWWWW OUCH!

Baby oil after my shower doesn't work. I get "ashy" after an hour or so. I've got a pretty deep tan. Again, EEWWWW! But I guess that's what I get for always being out in the garden.

My face and scalp are still just as oily as they were when I was in high school. Can we say "Sickening"? Guess that's where all my body oil goes to.

Anyway... if anyone knows of a good body/hand lotion, what is it so I can try it. Guess I'm not aging very gracefully.
