If you have dry skin try the two layer moisturizing technique. After showering or bathing, while skin is still damp, apply one layer of moisture (lotion or cream) all over your body. Wait a few minutes for the moisture to absorb then apply a second layer. If your skin is extremely dry, use a natural oil (such as jojoba oil) as your first layer. Follow up with a lotion or cream. This is especially beneficial if done before bedtime.
