[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow!  I don't think anyone here sounds like they have terribly dry or excema-riddled skin.  In our family, our skin is so dry (generations of dryness on both sides of the family) I do believe it would crack and fall off if we were to shower or bathe every day.  It literally hurts just thinking about doing that!  Dermatoligists have told us, "Do not bathe every day because the water strips the oils from your skin, and it's not really necessary."  Most times, after a shower or bath, my skin burns from the dryness until I slather on some heavy-duty, nonscented lotion and let it soak in.  Usually, after about 24 hours,  it stops hurting  bc the natural oils have finally built back up a bit until I feel like my skin is like "normal people.".  Sponge-bathing in between reg. showers and baths is the way we keep clean without absolutely decimating our skin.

(Same with our hair and scalps.  Terribly dry and painful.  Utter and complete frizz bomb on day one after shampoo, getting towards normal on 2nd day, wash on day 3 or 4.)

This is pretty much how most people in my family are.

PS  A plus side to this type of skin was not having to deal with acne as a teenager.  ;)  A down side (besides the above):  always having to worry about wrinkles.  :(  [/quote]
