I don't feel like I have dry skin from quilting... BUT I have dry skin that really gets on my last nerve. My favorite lotion is Sween Cream by Coloplast. I kepp a tube of the once a day moisturizing cream in my desk and use it often. It doesn't stink.. but it has a smell that is not in any way perfume.. sort of reminds me of an ointment smell. But it really works
