Did you know that if you put a hot moist wash rag on your dry areas first, before you apply vaseline or cream, the moisture will make your dry spots more moist. I always apply a hot moist rag to my face before I apply cream and I apply the hot moist rag to my hands before I put vaseline on them and white cotton gloves at bedtime. You need the moisture on your skin before you apply anything. It works much better. Try it.
