What do you use for dry skin?
I have very sensitive skin, mild psoriasis and exzema...this is what I use:

It absorbs instantly, no greasiness, it doesn't irritate my skin but keeps it soft and supple. And it's around $6 for a big pump bottle :)
I use straight up coconut oil. Like from the giant jar at Costco. I put it into a smaller jar and take it in the shower with me so it gets soft and then slather it on right out of the shower. One of my cats hangs out right under me to catch any bits that fall.
It it a little on the greasy side and I do let it soak in for a little while before I get dressed, but talk about all natural. I'm occasionally allergic to some things in commercial skin products, but this has nothing in it. I even swipe a little of the leftover from my hands onto my face. I've never had a problem with clogged pores because of it.

I discovered Aquaphor ointment when my son was little and had some scaly skin on his little face. This stuff is absolute magic! It's nice and thick since it's petroleum-based, but not too greasy, and if you put it on right after your shower it keeps your skin nice and soft. It also works wonders on burns and scrapes.

Yes, it's great for that! Our pediatrician suggested putting it on my son's scrapes to prevent scars.
The normal stuff is about $12/bottle, but I found the generic brand at Target for $4.50 last night, check in the baby section :)
