Popping in to add some tips I know, most of which have to do with dry skin. Lessee ...
For a gentle and effective exfoliant, mix a little baking soda into a bit of your body or face wash. It won't damage your skin (beyond the expected exfoliation).
I am terrible at taking this advice, but: to keep from drying out your skin, especially in the winter, take quick showers with warm, not even close to hot, water. I KNOW. I love long, hot showers too. But they dry out your skin something fierce.
To deal with the lizard skin hands this time of year, before bed, after a little gentle exfoliation (baking soda and body wash), towel dry your hands. Apply a good lotion or cream. Then top that with vegetable shortening. Yep, Crisco. Then slip your hands into cotton gloves. (I've used socks when I was desperate.) Go to sleep. I KNOW. But just try it. You'll be amazed the next morning.
If your skin is sensitive or easily irritated, go easy on the stuff with fragrances, especially things that stay on your skin, like lotion. Soap that gets washed off is less of an issue. I am not remotely an alarmist, but it is true that fragrances tend to irritate skin.
Honey, though sticky and messy, is a really good humectant. So if you gently wash your face, pat it dry so that it is a little damp, rub a little honey on, let it sit for 15 minutes or so, then rinse, your skill will look and feel more moisturized. For this use, it does not really matter what type of honey, whether it is raw or not, etc.
Speaking of facial masks, be careful what you put on your skin. I would love to be able to use an avocado mask because I am sure it is very moisturizing. However, it turns out that although I have no problems at all eating avocado, it burns the sh!t out of my skin, turns it red, and makes it swell. Nothing else I know of does that to me. So ... yeah ... try a little spot for a few minutes before you go whole hog with a new thing. You never know.
