I’ve had a dry skin for whole my life and the last couple of years have had many allergic reactions on store bought skin creams especially in my face. I now make a skin cream myself, containing organic shea butter, organic coconut oil and organic olive oil. It feeds and calms my skin.

an ointment over a cream, like dermeze?

I was lucky enough to trial Dermaveen Moisturising Lotion. I would highly recommend it. I have ongoing skin dryness after chemo and radiation, and this is one of the best products I’ve tried. 🙂

Dermaveen is excellent for this. It’s up for review here on MoMs at the moment. I’ve used it and found it to be great

Have a look into this certified organic coconut body milk

I have just participated in a trial as I have had many a skin issue and it has worked wonders for all sorts of problems for different people. Has no hidden nasties and is suitable for all skin types. They have a range of other awesome products too!

don’t use bio oil its a petrochemical of some sort. To me it sounds like dermatitis and you might need some sort of steroid cream over a period of a few months to get rid of it but also try rosehip oil just a drop rubbed on the spot 2-3 times a day might help but again will take some time. Let us know how you go,

Have you talked to a pharmacist? they are good at helping with these sorts of things.

there is a product that you can get from the pharmacy call physiogel. great for dry skin plus it won’t irritate it- no perfumes etc. i used to use a product from aveeno as these are intensive moisturisers and a lot cheaper than physiogel.
