I use baby oil, while my skin is still wet from the shower, and then follow with lotion and baby oil mixed together. What else can I do? Gwen, Woohoo! Finally something I can answer, rather than just lurking & learning! I am a soap/toiletry maker so I have done tons of research on this subject. Baby oil is basically mineral oil, which is not absorbed well by the skin. It sits on the surface and may offer temporary relief, but no healing. You might wish to try a combo of good, healing vegetable oils instead - I would recommend sweet almond, apricot kernel, grapeseed, hempseed, avocado, and/or jojoba (not technically an oil, but a liquid wax). You could also add a small amount of lavender essential oil (very healing) and aloe leaf powder. I don't know how "crafty" you are, but if you'd like I can share my recipe for a wonderful salt scrub <!--more--> to remove all the dead flaky skin, and a body butter for afterwards. Please let me know if you are interested, or mail me privately if you want me to whip something up for you. Stephanie <<Anybody have any remedies for the extremely dry skin on my batwings? I

I have found that DRY vitamin E is GREAT for dry skin after surgery. Its a capsul with powder in it. I open the capsul and put it in my shake. Works wonders for me. Hope this helps.
