Help, I'm Drying Out!

My skin, my hair, my nasal passages, even my fingernails are so dry it's ridiculous. I've never had dry skin issues, but now I feel like I'm shriviling up like a raisin! I drink 100 to 120 ounces of fluids per day and my urine is good, so I don't think that is the problem. I know the weather has changed and it is drier outside, but I was still having this problem over the summer. I don't know what's going on.

When did you last have lab work done, my dear? If its been a while, be sure they check your thyroid and your vitamin A level. http://www.skinmdnatural.com/news.php?include=1138 Kathy

Ahhhh... I just stopped my vitamin A supplement a few months back. Methinks there may be a connection. You're so smart, Kathy! Hugs, Tracy

I really should go to school for this stuff and make it "legal" eh? LOL! Hope that vitamin A helps. Kathy

Dr Kathy to the rescue again... We should make a theme song for you Kath... Like the MightyMouse Theme... Tracy, I have to use Eucerin Creme from Oct - April because every place I spend time has "forced hot air" heating systems. You might want to try this as well as upping the Vit A. Kate Z

Guess what I'm dressing up as for Halloween????? Hmmmm????? I like Eucerin but adore the Gold Bond Ultra Therapy or whatever it is in the white, gold and dark blue tube/bottle. Very thick. But boy does it work. DrK

The same thing happens to me. I use to use the in showe body lotion but it became too expensive. Now I use the lavender baby oil. When Im finished showering I just slather myself in it before getting out of the shower then dry off as usual. Just dont use too much, a little goes a long way. I do feel a little greasy to begin with but afterwards its amazingly soft. Even my hubby has complimented me on being super soft lately. I still use regular lotion on my hands during the day though. Hope this helps, Candy

Thanks for your tips, ladies! Y'all are the greatest! Hugs, Tracy
