Lotions
Dear Jamie:
I don't know of anything in particular, but moisturized skin will bounce back better than dry skin, so I imagine anything will help if used regularly. Cocoa butter is supposed to be really good.
I use a spray called NA-PCA Liquid made by Twinlab all over my body and it has really helped my dry skin. I get it at Vitacost.com and only pay $ 3.47 per 8 oz bottle. Here is the description for this:
"The Natural Moisturizing Factor In Human Skin Twinlab Na-PCA is a Ph-balanced, concentrated solution of the sodium salt of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid, the natural moisturizing factor found in human skin. Na-PCA is synthesized from glutamic acid, a nonessential amino acid. The skin contains natural moisturizers, the most important being Na-PCA.
Old skin contains only about half the amount of Na-PCA as that found in young skin. The ability of skin to hold moisture is directly related to its Na-PCA content. It is water, and not oil, that keeps skin soft and supple. Na-PCA pulls water out of the air, moisturizing the skin, improving its appearance, and giving it a moist and youthful glow. This is not a cosmetic cover up; it is a physiological correction of an age-related deficiency state."
I have been using this for about 9 months and it WORKS to moisturize. My legs have ALWAYS been "alligator skinned" and I now only use this on them with no other lotions and they are normal. This stuff is not greasy and I don't have to wait for it to soak in before getting dressed.
I just spray about 5 sprays into my hand and rub it onto my face, then 5 for my neck and chest, then each arm, etc........ I only use additional moisturizer on my face and neck, this stuff alone on the rest of my body. Each bottle lasts a month or two.
Good luck!
