I get dry, itchy, sore skin. In winter it’s worse. I have a whole routine worked out! I put lotions/oils/ emollient jelly on my skin before drying off after a shower. I only take showers in winter and never hot, only Luke warm to cool. If I get sweaty anytime of the year, as soon as I can I need to shower/rinse my scalp and skin with cool water or suffer with dry, sore, itchy skin. It gets so itchy sometimes I have scratched until it broke skin and bled! And if I don’t rinse my scalp after sweating it will get itchy and rough, like a scab on a wound. Skin building up over skin. This late winter and spring I had a new experience and it is BIG! I used Aveeno Eczema Moisturizing Cream. I also tried their Eczema Care Rescue Relief Treatment Gel Cream. I have trained myself so well over the years I really didn’t think I’d need a rescue relief treatment, but I am glad I had it on hand to test out! Seriously, there have been times I have been so itchy I have scratched the top layer or dermis right off my skin! Especially areas like my ankles, knees and elbows when I let my usual routine slip or even just when stress gets the better of me and my usually baby soft skin. As soon as I felt any itching I remembered the rescue relief treatment gel cream from Aveeno and gave it a whirl. Sure enough the application calmed my skin and that calmed me. When you are on a pension and can’t always afford prescription treatment from your dermatologist this is a big deal! I received this product for free from Aveeno for my review. I am thankful I took the opportunity to try this product and I recommend it for anyone with skin like mine. -

I am used to a specifically developed routine to keep my skin soft and itch-free year round. I only shower in the winter, no baths, pools or hot tubs allowed. If I get sweaty from exercise or something jump in a cool shower and rinse off as soon as possible or end up with sore, itchy, rough skin that feels like it’s building up on top of itself like scabs healing over a wound. After my lukewarm to cool shower I hop out and apply any of these; a baby oil, a white petroleum jelly or a virgin coconut oil product. And if my skin is super itchy/dry a combination of those. I used the Aveeno Eczema Care Daily Moisturizing Cream only when I felt any dry or itchy skin, anytime. No more itching until my skin hurt from scratching. I can’t remember the last time I felt so relaxed and confident about being able to take care of my skin and keep it looking and feeling healthy and soft, without any expensive prescription products from a dermatologist, either. Which I have trouble affording on my pension. This is big for me! Thank you Aveeno! No one can tell but I have tears in my eyes. -
