Lotion suggestions?

[arabookworm]

eucerine is good for sensitive skin because it is fragrance free, but it also doesn't smell very good because it is fragrance free. I personally use palmers cocoa butter formula, but a lot of people say it is greasy, so if that bothers you i would steer clear.

I use Alveeno. Best stuff.


One to NOT use.......Olay Quench!

It stays wet forever and doesn't seem to work any way.

Aveeno, intense relief repair cream. The cream, not the lotion.

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions; I honestly did not have a clue where to start--I've never had to use lotion before.
I'll go to the store after work tomorrow & do a 'sniff test' on all of your suggestions & decide on one (some things make me sneeze like a maniac).
Ya'll are the best!

I have really sensitive skin that's gets extremely dry in winter. I use Vaseline Intensive Care, the non-scented kind. It's pretty thick, takes a while to absorb, but works really well for me most of the time. I get itchy/flakey/hives in winter. Fun fun.

Eco Bella vanilla - Smells awesome (but mild) and the best moisturizer I've ever used. I fill my own container from the bulk bottle. It's not the cheapest ($1.25/oz) but I only get 4oz at a time and that will last a month. A dab will do ya.

Read ingredients. Most are mineral oil, which is much cheaper if you just buy baby oil! The feed store probably can sell it to you unscented. Glycerin, a sealant, is decent. I am looking for something with lanolin, which I am imagining to be really good. I know I could just pet a sheep, but I don't have one. Triple antibiotic is good to slather over really red cracked hands.

I just use Olive Oil in a bath and never have a problem all winter. Dh does it too. It's not greasy, or smelly.

Eucerin is very very good, it use to be only had by prescription, but you can find it anywhere now. The type in the round container with a lid is very thick and really good, but I can't stand the way it feels on my hands for very long. You could also try bag balm at night with socks on your hands. It softens and heals.
