I just started using this a couple weeks ago. It's fantastic!

I dont use lotion I use a cream from Avon it is heavy intensive therapy and soaks in real quick and doesnt have any smell I go online at avon.com and they will ship it right to your home and most of time it is free shipping, right now it is on sale for 3.99 usually 5.99.

I live at a high altitude with very low humidity. I feel like a dried out sponge sometimes. It took me 5 yrs to find Gold Bond hand lotion. It doesn't stain, is NOT alcohol based and I usually only put it on once or twice a day now! The others I was putting on all the time and my hands felt dryer!

Bag Balm
then wrap hands in a warm towel or hot pack from the oven.

I have severe dry skin and I'm allergic to practically everything. I use Infinite Aloe. http://www.infinitealoe.com/

I have the same problem with smells, and any type of products that goes on your skin or hair. I use Aveeno daily moisturizing lotion. It is fragrance free. Hope that it helps.

I make my own by mixing a large bottle of Johnson's Baby Lotion (the pink bottle), a jar of vitamin E cream, and a large bottle of Vaseline Extra Dry hand lotion. Smells good, disappears without leaving a greasy feeling and does the job.

My husband loves this as it is non-greasy and absorbs rather quickly. I like it too but lately received a sample of "No-crack" during a shop hop and love the scent and the quickly absorbed formula.

I also use Gloves in a Bottle.

I love the Neutrogena. I don't have to use that much and it doesn't leave any residue on the fabric.
