Right out of the shower dry off a bit and put on a moisturizer and seal it in with either an oil or Vaseline/aquaphor. I swear it’s a lifesaver

I agree, right out of the shower. I read that taking hot showers causes moisture to leave the skin so you should seal it back in with moisturizer while your skin is still damp. I just tried this recently and I've had massive improvements

I use a tone of Eucerin and I have heard that taking cod oil really helps.

Try a humidifier in your room too! If you live in a dry climate!

My dermatologist told me to avoid using scented lotions or oils. Use thicker lotions that lock in moisture, not water based. I'm currently using CeraVe healing ointment. It's a thick lotion that prevents water from easily escaping your limbs. I use it every day and I can tell you that it definitely makes my skin less itchy. Also avoid hot baths and showers.

I keep lotion at my desk at work and I am constantly using it. Hempz lotion is so amazing! I highly recommend Pep O Mint! It smells amazing and feels so good!
