I've dry chapped skin too, and only 2 brands work for me.

Rosken moisturizer, especially those in the white small round container type, even better than those in the tube shape.

Neautrogena body moisturizer. The bottle is white and the cap is blue. I think it says stg like 'norweigeon formula' etc..

Both under $15.

Shea butter has soothing, moisturizing and protecting effects. Due to the presence of a sizeable quantity of unsaponifiable fats, its content in vitamins and other active elements, shea butter adds other more precise activities to these general properties. It displays a protecting role against UV rays because of its content in cinnamic acid and can thus be incorporated in solar products. The natural latex contained in shea butter would moreover prevent certain sun allergies. Shea butter also helps cell regeneration and capillary circulation. This favours the healing of small wounds, skin cracks and crevices, and skin ulcers. In the cosmetic field, this property is an asset against skin aging. It has restructuring effects on the epidermis, also on dry and fragile hair. Dry skin, dermatitis, dermatoses, eczema, sun burn, and burns are all helped by natural shea butter.

It has an anti-elastase characteristic which makes it a good active ingredient against stretch marks.
Shea butter can also be used to treat rheumatism and aching muscles, and to ease colds because it decongests nasal mucous tissues. It is very well tolerated by the skin for it does not normally trigger any allergic reaction and can even be used on very sensitive skin areas such as mucous tissues and around the eyes.

Shea butter is therefore an outstanding recipe for cosmetic and pharmaceutical purposes, even incorporated in high proportions. It is easy to work into all kinds of emulsions and makes a very good excipient (carrier) as it prevents allergenic reactions without altering the active principles.

My favorite is Burt's Bees Carrot Nutritive Day Cream. It smells great and it really smooths in to heal skin. I got some for my mom to help her dry, fragile, old lady skin. She likes it, too. I live in New England and it is available in drugstores here, so it hopefully will be available where you live. You could also try drugstore.com.

when my hands and feet are very dry and chapped, i get the bottle of Vaseline out rub in, put on cotton gloves and socks, leave on while u sleep. i live in a very windy place and like being outside, when my face gets wind burned i wash my face, cover with a thin coat of Vaseline and cover with a warm washcloth,repeat when the washcloth gets cold, then wipe the excess off with a hot washcloth. this is something my grandmother used to do and my mother who was a beautician.

Try Aquaphor - you can find it at all the major drug store chains. It has the consistency of Vaseline, but it's great for dry chapped winter skin!

Look up a "Wholefoods" store near you (they specialize in more natural, organic products). They're everywhere:)
I have found several creams and moisturizers under $10...good & gentle on the skin. And they smell SOOO nice.

Hey, if you want somethin really cheap, try Vassaline it works but the grease bothers some ppl. Also try Burts bees body lotion and body oil. And instead of using soap in the shower use body wash and warm water. Hope this helps!
