I too have very fair, thin, porous skin that cracks easily in the

winter. I need to do all this! in order of importance:

- adequate water

- lots of green veggies

- omega 3 oils

- don't overeat starches (my downfall)

- barrier-type lotion - NOT artificial moisture even good natural ones

like coconut oil.

I just love " Gloves in a Bottle. " They are the first product that

really works for me and it makes sense to me when they talk about how

adding artificial moisture a) doesn't get to the lower skin layers and

sends the wrong signal to the skin's moisture regulating system

(says it's okay when it's not).

Amd I really like Eucerin - the original cream formulation - really,

really thick - mostly lanolin. I've used pure lanolin, but it is a

bit sticky.

what is " Gloves in a Bottle " ?

does lanolin is 100% natural?

does lanolin can clog pores?

(cause the advantage of coconut oil is that it doesn't clog pores.)

[Guest guest]

I prefer to spread on my skin thing that I are not toxic to eat.

This is my test for it the substance is safe.

That's why I would like to put the coconut oil or something similar.

Is there is a way to make to coconut oil get more absorbed?

you can find out about this at www.glovesinabottle.com.

Sounds like it wouldn't work for you. they have a really great

ingredient list and one of them is synthetic.

I used to go for lanolin or Eucerin or other heavy-duty creams that

supposedly absorbed. but I like this better. It doesn't bother me that

it's not meant to be ingested but only stay on the surface of the skin

until it wears off naturally.

[Guest guest]

Connie - this is very helpful to me too!

So - the " thing " you use is calle " Gloves in a Bottle " ? Where does

one get it?

Connie,

I find that moisturisers for the body and hands don't penetrate my

skin - it just sits there and I end up washing it off, because water

does that:)

Do the Eucerin/Gloves in a Bottle penetrate or... how do they work?

Where does one get THIS? There are some good testimonials coming

here, and my hands are like sandpaper in winter.

I used to get great lanolin products (also for diaper rash) in South

Africa, but haven't been able to get really great FEELING lanolin

products here.

And the shea butter and lavender? Do you make it up yourself?

ETC!

The best brand I have found is Lansinoh lanolin. Yes it is 100%

natural. It is derived from wool so do not use it you are allergic.

Many don't have trouble but to be safe it is not recommended.

Lansinoh is a pharmaceutical grade so it is 100% pure and even edible.

The main use is for dry/cracked nipples for breastfeeding mothers. I

have used it for many other things including dry skin, burns, cuts,

scrapes, diaper rashes, etc.

It is a wonderful soothing product. Another great product I have found

in moisturizers is shea butter. I love my shea butter & lavender hand

lotion. I also have a great shea butter & coconut lip balm.

Hi chapped ladies!!!

I'm also a chapped hairdresser in Michigan, who suffers every winter

between the harsh weather and constant shampoo/water.I've tried all the

products you've discussed and found one better. My neighbor sells

Melaleuca's Natural products and I'm HOOKED on thier RENEW Intensive

Skin Therapy. It's similar to Gloves in a Bottle, only it's also

softening, not just protective. It does have petroleum USP, but it's so

worth it.

http://www.melaleuca.com/ps/index.cfm?f=ps.productDetail & pid=360 & pType=1

I also use Coconut oil on my body after every shower. I use it on my

face up to three times a day. This winter, I plan on applying coconut

oil to my hands first, then follow with the Renew. One of the ladies

mentioned it not absorbing, but I'd have to guess the application is

too heavy. I rub it in, not on, like Suntan oil. I never have a problem

getting dressed immediately after applying.

Also, I found that handsoaps, like shampoos, can be too drying in the

first place. My favorite new soap is Kirks. I use it on my whole body,

including my face. I've always been extremely sensitive, and this is

the first time in my life, I can use a combination that doesn't over

dry or break me out. GREAT STUFF!!!! No Sodium laureth sulfate.

itemID=12033 & itemType=PRODUCT & iMainCat=4 & iSubCat=165 & iProductID=12033 & se

archid=inceptor

Melaleuca also sells a shampoo that is coconut based, vs. Sodium

laureth sufate. I use Naturals, Herbal forumla. It is highly

concentrated, and lasts forever. Does wonders for fine, fly-away hair.

Just my hairy opinion!

Try jojoba oil. It seems greasy at the beginning, but just for a minute. My

skin absorbs it great.

I bought the shea butter & lavender one from a local mom who makes it.

The lanolin is just the pure type from Lansinoh. I rub it on my hand

before bed. If you make sure it is warm than it spreads easier. I find

my hands & feet are dramatically better by morning.

If the sheep are sprayed/dipped/whatever for fleas or what-have-you, would

that residue make its way into the lanolin?

Sorry, (thanks for the reply).... but I have no idea what " Lansinoh "

is.... does one buy it at CVS or ...?

And the shea stuff - a " local mom " more or less where?

Lansinoh is the name of the brand of Lanolin. I get mine at Wal-mart.

Here is a link

A " local mom " ...... I meant a friend of mine that makes lotions &

I don't think that it would survive the processing. The type that I buy

is pharmaceutical grade but I bet we could research and find out.

Coming rather late to this discussion...

Have you tried true extra-virgin CO? And have you rubbed it in

vigorously and for awhile?
