"My doctor said my itching was simply due to dry skin and recommended an over-the-counter moisturizer, Vaseline Intensive Care," says Carole, 38, of Media, Pennsylvania.

"Dry off well, then immediately apply a moisturizer, says Dr. Caro. There are hundreds of moisturizers to choose from. "Many of them are grease-based, which puts a waterproof layer between the skin and air, thereby preventing moisture loss," says Dr. Caro. Vaseline is the classic example of a pure grease ointment. Over-the-counter moisturizers, sold at most pharmacies, will help soothe your flaking skin. But if the problem persists, ask your doctor about prescription lotions. Wrap it up. Moisturizers may need extra help to penetrate and work on extremely dry, flaky skin, says Diana Bihova, M.D." - the Editors of PREVENTION Magazine Health Books, Symptoms: Their Causes & Cures : How to Understand and Treat 265 Health Concerns (Get the book.)

"She Grabs the Moisturizer "I have been using a good moisturizer for years, and it certainly seems to make my face look smoother," says Irma, 56, a housewife from Frederick, Maryland. She wears it at night and under her makeup during the day. Moisturizers can help your skin look smoother by holding moisture in the outer layers of your skin, Dr. Litt explains.
