AHA! or St. Ives intensive healing for dry skin is what I use. The AHA! is for my face, love it! Worth every single penny I spent on the bottle. I only have to use it in the winter and the bottle has lasted 3 years.

The St Ives I discovered at a clearance sale, I normally use Jergins extra dry but this was 1/3 the price that day. I've been using it since. Once it soaks in it's not greasy at all and I'm only having to use it once a day normally unless I'm working out in the yard with dirt and lumber then I wait until I'm completely done to reapply. Doesn't cause me to break out everywhere like the rest of them do, though I don't use anything but the AHA! on my face.

I have tried their stuff, and I am just not that thrilled with it. To make matters even worse, I have an oily forehead.

Ya all are going to say I am off my rocker, but hear me out.
The key to soft smooth skin, is eating enough saturated fats, and as needed, using a natural oil such as raw coconut oil as a lotion.

Our cell structure is 50% saturated fat, so if you try to eat low fat, according to so called modern wisdom, all you are doing is depriving your body of a required nutrient dense food.
If you go back to pre industrial eating, you will find lines and wrinkles will plump out, cellulite WILL disapear, and you will not have dry skin.
And you will not get fat by eating real fats. No heart disease either.

Real fats are as follows.
Butter, preferably raw
Raw, virgin Coconut oil
Real Lard and Tallow

ETA: I use coconut oil on my face all the time now, and it does not make me breakout!

Some people may think you are off your rocker but not me!!! Where would I find law coconut oil? I see the stuff you can add to foods - is that the same?

Does America have Aquaseous cream? That would do the trick.
Or get into a hot bath and soak.

Wilderness Family Naturals has the best prices on it, but, you can get small amounts of it in most grocery stores in the health food section.

Before, when I ate low fat, I had awful cellulite. 9 months after going gluten free and making sure I was getting on average, 65% of my calories from saturated fats, I can truthfully say, my cellulite is at least 50% gone.

When I first saw this topic I thought it was about incubation... and I was going to suggest using a moist sponge.
