Hi Michelle! When it comes to dry skin, I have found that the best route to go is to find a way to moisturize from the inside out. We can slather lotions on our bodies all day long, and they can offer some short-term relief, but they are not really getting at the root of the problem. What I have found works really really well is to take a flaxseed oil supplement everyday. Flaxseed oil contains a huge amount of an essential fatty acid called Omega 3, which has been shown to help with skin conditions, as well as a host of other things. I order my flaxseed oil from a great company in Fountain Hills, Arizona called BioNatures: www.bionatures.com You can get either liquid oil or capsules. I take about 5 caps a day and have really noticed a difference. It might take a couple weeks to build up in your system, but I've found that I'm using way less lotion since adding flaxseed oil to my list of supplements. Good luck to you!
