dry hands and feet

Hi there @Marianne63...I have  had  problems  with my skin, particularly hands and feet. Preceding this beastly cancer and chemo, which certainly hasn't helped, I also have other  medical issues which contribute to this. I have found that the only thing which helps for me is to get out the big guns for moisture. Anything that says "easily absorbed" or "non greasy" just doesn't cut the mustard for me. I slather my feet and hands in something really  gooey like Vaseline Intensive Care, or even just heaps of  Moo Goo, Baby Oil...whatever you fancy, then put on soft cotton socks and gloves before going to bed. The next morning I remove these and rinse off and then add a daytime light moisturiser such as the Moo Goo, but  in small amounts. Doing this nightly for about a week seems to do the job for a  few months, then I have to repeat the process. The socks and gloves keeps the bed linen clean, keeps the goo where it's needed, and stops me slipping on the tiled floor when going to the loo in the middle of the night.
