Can you tell me more about this ?? All three of our children have VERY dry
skin .... they unfortunately inherited it from me !!!! And we have to be
VERY careful with soaps and lotions because a lot of them make it worse ....
actually cracking and peeling (and sometimes even open bleeding spots). And
the lotions that do NOT make the dryness cause irritation just do not seem to
improve things at all !!
Thank you in advance !!
