Moisturisers

I know what yopu mean to not feeling feminine slapping on some of the creams the doctor gave me. I even tried to cheat and brought a big tub of the white musk body lotion from the body shop which smells lovely but my skin soon protested! So i now what you do Rosie, slap on the diprobase on the effected areas and dove on the rest...seems to be working for me!

Aveeno is great too, and even the knock-offs you can buy at drugstores, etc - oatmeal works well for me. I use Aveeno wash in the shower too.

I love Aveeno stuff.  I use the wash as bubble bath.

I use Epiderm and Aqueous Cream.

I have used Moisturel with much success, but it is a tad expensive. Aveeno is great too, and even the knock-offs you can buy at drugstores, etc - oatmeal works well for me. I use Aveeno wash in the shower too.

Now though for moisturizing I just use Johnson and Johnson. I figure if it s mild enough for a baby it s gotta be ok for me, right? I was using the 24 hour moisture, also used the milk lotion, and now I m onto the nighttime lotion that has lavender in it. I like how it smells.

I have two that I love and they work really well!
Gold bond medicated and Gold bond for extremely dry cracked skin!<---- That one is soooooo Good It really does what it says! it even helps with the HS, seems to clear it up some!
 
I don t like Bath and body works There expensive and don t last Long. I do however Like Victoria Secrets Line! ( My fave is Pure seduction) I  bought 3 bottles friday!!! Its loverly and lasts so long. and sooo not expensive.  Yummy!!!!

Yeah, Bath and Body Works stuff is especially harsh if you are sensitive to any perfumes.  Which sucks since it s so yummy smelling!!!  : (

I ve extolled it before, but there are two I love when my skin is being tempermental:  Lipikar Baume by LaRoche Posay, and Avene s

TriXera

.  They are not scented, and keep things moist and calm.

I do love the pretty smelling stuff, though, and sometimes I m not careful enough.  I bought a whole bunch of stuff in the States from Bath and Body Works.  It all smells divine, but it seems to make me itchy

Gentle Naturals Baby Eczema Cream is my favorite.  It is SUPER SUPER thick, but not really greasy, and has a really really fresh scent (I don t know what they use for the scent so definitely read the tube before trying).  But it s the thickness of the cream that I like, coupled with not smelling like you ve had to use moisturizer.  You don t need much, so it lasts a good long time.

thanks for the info Peter. xx

The only one i ve found to be excellent is Doublebase and Epiderm. But even though these are supposedly  fragrance free , there is a  smell  to them which doesnt make me feel feminine after a nice shower or bath! I tend to put those on the trouble areas and then treat the  normal  skin to a slathering of Dove body lotion, which is just gorgeous!!!
