i have extremely dry skin. i put vaseline in a small egg poacher that i keep next to my bathroom sink - run very hot water in bottom, put on lid and when i get out of shower it's liquid. just dip your fingers in and it feels soooo good on my face, legs, arms, etc. you can also use extra virgin oilve oil. i also use a tsp of sugar mixed with olive oil as a face scrub. smooth skin!
