I only get dry/flaky skin in the Summer on my elbows so I use moisturiser to combat it...

It's always enjoying when we go on a hot holiday. Have to take lots of creams

It wasn't until in my 50's that I developed eczema on the palm of my hands. I have bought a variety of over the counter creams/lotions but had to resort to a prescription cortisone cream recently. I would rather not use this too often but it seems to help.

My hands are awful as I wash my hands frequently as I am a nurse! I put hand cream on regularly which relieves them, I use whatever I can as several tubes on the go!!!

I have to be careful with my skincare on my arm as I have lymphoedema, so first and foremost i wear a sleeve to prevent the swelling. This dries my skin so I need to moisturise daily.

I use aqueous cream for my dry skin. It is particularly dry on my hands, arms, legs and feet.
I also use moisturiser on my face every day.

I don't use any particular brands for my dry skin, just whatever is available in my supermarket.

My skin is terribly dry and itchy, particularly on change of temperature. I have tried every different type of creams and lotions and must have spent £1000s trying to relieve my symptoms. A cold bath and an antihistamine often helps when all else has failed!

I had really itchy shins for ages which spread to my calves. I was getting worried as I have varicose veins. I went to GP who said put some E40 cream on when they get dry.... this cleared it up in 3 days - amazing!

I just make sure the sheets are changed regularly and I moisturise daily

I get dry flaky skin on my legs, I find rubbing vaseline on them before bed works

I have very itchy skin on my hands and i'd love to find something that would stop them from cracking .

I get the odd flare up of dry skin and I usually use E45 which sorts it out.

I suffer from allergies which include itchy skin especially in the summer. I use Sudacrem and tubes of E45 Itch Relief Cream. These help ease my itchy dry skin.

I have itchy skin on my back sometimes and use e 45

Plenty of moisturiser

My neck gets very itchy and prickly when I get hot - it's almost impossible to resist scratching and leaves it looking red and irritated. A little embarrassing.

If I don't take a antihistamine daily my skin itches until I scratch it into welts. Urticaria is miserable

i suffer with dry skin but it seems to be a seasonal thing with me. I always get dry skin during the winter months. A good moisturizer helps though

I try to be careful what soaps I use, I find Neutrogena Norwegian hand cream good

I unfortunately suffer with psoriasis but luckily it hides under my hair. But the flaking is extra annoying. I normally use coconut or argan conditioner when it gets bad and leave it in overnight which helps if only for a day or two.
I have some dry skin on my face but that's manageable with the many lotions and potions I have.

E45 really helps with my dry skin.

+I have had dry skin for 50+ years but never as bad as now. Creams irritate it and make it itch more even though it is less dry. I have it on my face particulary on my eyes and eyebrows and each morning it is like dandruff. I also have it above my top lip. It stops me wearing make up and looks so awful. Shops selling products simply advise you to use their "dry skin" formulas which don't work. Some people even recoil in disgust. I absoluetly hate it.

I've suffered with dry skin for years, particularly on my legs and arms. I try to moisturise daily using an organic body butter, which I find really helps. I also try to add omega 3 to my diet, with foods such as salmon, eggs, avocado and walnuts. I use a high SPF suncream during the summer months and have a small humidifier in my bedroom that helps me throughout winter

i have from time to time an itchy dry scalp so i just change my shampoo and conditioner and within a few washes my skin is completely clear again
