Summer makes my skin too dry. Is there anything that can help aside from the obvious moisterizers ?

I have that problem, too! But my skin is either super dry and itchy\cracky or is nasty and oily. Alot of people I've heard recently say if your skin is oily it is actually dry and needs oil. So what I did to balance out my dry skin and my oily skin (I fluctuate, especially during the summer) I used all natural Aloe-Vera. My mom bought it at a organic place downtown. I'm sure you can buy it in a Whole Foods or an organic store, or in the organic section. It really works! My skin is smooth, not oily. And definetly not dry either. Its also really good for your skin unlike some products with just chemicals in them. It prevents wrinkles; too. Plus I have acne. But its clearing up since I've used the stuff.

The best thing I have ever used it baby oil. I use the baby oil gel (its not as messy) when Im in the shower. I put just a TINY dab in my hand after washing and use it on my arms and legs. Make sure not too use too much or you will be oily! Better to start with too little and add more.... The warm water helps your skin absorb it, and keeps it from getting greasy. After you get out, just dry off as normal. It makes my skin super soft and leaves it with a nice shiny glow.

I suggest that you use a moisturizing body wash by Dove or Oil of Olay. After you finish taking a shower, I suggest you use a lotion by Curel. To me, it's the best lotion you can find in drugstores. My favorites are the Ultra Healing and the Nourishing. Their moisturizing capabilities last up to 24 hours. I suggest that you check out their website below. Good luck on your quest!

Epsom salt baths help a lot. You can buy it at any drug store just put about a cup in and soak for at least a half an hour.
