Most creams are in a jar, as they are too thick to pump. Do you find it difficult to remove the lids or are you like me and it is hard to put them back on when hands are slippery with cream?
You say the lotions are not enough for the dry winter air. Where I live we are damp all winter, so I will not be much help. But have you looked for a lotion in a tube that contains lanolin? I find that products with lanolin work best for my feet, which get dry and cracked.
Do you put on a heavy coat of moisturizer at night? I find that a heavy application at night helps throughout the day.
My mum has used Avon Rich Moisture, which does have a light scent, for 70 years.
I had a friend years ago who had severe dry skin and used Vaseline all over after every bath and shower. It absorbed right in.
I like Olay and Lancôme products. I was surprised to learn that they are the same company, which may be why both work so well for me.
