[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 614920, member: 1233"] I have had many people recommend the baby lotion, vaseline and vit e cream mixture. I must say that it was one of the nastiest things I ever tried. Baby lotion can be VERY hard on the skin if you have any sensitivities. For one thing the fragrance is strong and irritating to many people. Every doctor we ever had said to NEVER use baby lotion on a baby as it is very harsh on their skin. As I had several different docs due to moves and insurance changes (whatever doctor we had seemed to not take whatever insurance our employer changed to, grrrr), having them all say that if you have any skin sensitivities/problems then baby lotion is bad says something. Vaseline keeps my skin from breathing and makes me feel like I am suffocating. Yes, odd, but it is my particular sensory problem. If I let my hands get super bad then I have forced myself to sleep with vaseline n them, but it is not a fun or restful night. This is why I started ordering ingredients like shea butter and oils etc and DIYing my creams/lotions. I find that the quality is far better, the cost very reasonable even with shipping, and my skin sure likes it better. I thought I might react to shea butter like I do to vaseline, but they are totally different. The shea is thick, but it absorbs so fast and you need so little that it is amazing. [/QUOTE]
