I love Neutrogena's Norwegian formula for winter – cheap and effective.

Great tips, and I lol'ed at the Silence of the Lambs reference
I just discovered an entire tub of Body Shop Warm Amber Body Butter in my bathroom and it's awesome for dry skin.

Now that I'm in a water exercise class twice a week, it's really helping to dry out my skin. Fortunately for me, the air doesn't dry out all that much where I live. In addition to washing off all the chlorine, Aveeno Oatmeal lotion helps a lot. I get it at Costco, where they have a two pack for like US$12.99. For the hands, I second the glove idea. When I was on Accutane, this pretty much saved them from the drying effects of the drugs – I used straight Vaseline, but if I were to do it again, it'd be Aquaphor.

If your hands are really bad you should consider using a silicone-based cream, like Glysomed or Neutrogena's Norwegian formula. They're kind of heavy but they help trap moisture in your skin.

Another option is that before you go to bed, put on a heavy lotion (or even vaseline!) and put some moisturizing gloves on. The gloves are just little cotton things that help keep the lotion on your skin and off your sheets! You can get them at Shopper's and they make them for feet, too!

And one more thing… it's a little pricey, but so far my fave hand cream is Cake's Milk-Made Velveteen Hand Creme. I don't particularly like the scent or the price ($18!) but it feels amazing going on and really does the trick when my hands are super dry. I did a review of it here: http://www.gingerwontsnap.com/2008/04/product-rev…

Oooh, I might have to try that! I am always on the lookout for a good cream for my feet & elbows. Thanks!

Thanks for the post. My hands is seriously chapped. I have no idea why. I find that Aveeno works best for moisturizing. But I've been using St. Ives Intensive lotion and it does the trick plus it's sometimes only $2.99 at Shoppers.

Lately I've been using Neutrogena's Comfort Balm /Cream.
It's a light cream that sinks in fast is very moisturizing and eliminates dry skin on contact! (Seriously!) I get eczema on my hands(year round) when I get stressed and using this everyday has been amazing!!
