Now I can use a little lotion and my skin is comfortable until the next time I take a shower. What I used to have to do was shower, drench my whole body in oil and then still feel uncomfortably dry in a couple of hours. I went thru a lot of lotion. But not anymore, I'm very happy with my skin now. My husband has had extremely dry skin expecially on his face. I read somewhere recently that the lack of enough GLA in the diet was the cause of some dry skin. I started giving him evening primrose oil and in a few weeks his face is cleared up. Its still somewhat dry at times but a little lotion solves the problem where before his skin flaked off like some people have dandruff no matter how often lotion was applied. I don't know about other skin conditions than what I have written about here. Hope this helps. Cas
