A Twitter user posted a picture of really cracked skin and asked for some recommendations, and the responses were nothing short of insightful with a few jokes here and there, but here are the best recommendations we got.
petrolatum
Well, we had to start from that, and the most popular brand is Vaseline.
If your skin is dry, cracked, scaly and white, using Vaseline would fix it, but there is a small problem with it, it can feel heavy on the skin, clog your pores and make you make you sweat
However, Vaseline has diversified away from just making Vaseline, and now has Vaseline, ‘Extremely Dry Rescue’ and various moisturizing variants that are perfect for skin without clogging your pores.
Shea butter
If you want smooth and hydrated skin, ask yourself why you haven’t used shea butter? It has the disadvantage of some people sweating or feeling like their skin is heavy. Plus, it doesn’t blend well with the skin.
Dermatological E45
This soothes skin that has been damaged by psoriasis, dermatitis and eczema. If your skin is itchy, cracked and dry, then this is your best option.
Cantu Raw Blend of Cocoa Butter and Coconut Oil for Skin and Hair
With such a fancy name, we’ll be damned if it doesn’t work! You can choose Cantu moisturizer with ingredients like hemp seed oil, cocoa butter, tea tree oil, and mango butter.
It smells heavenly, is easy to apply due to its soft texture and moisturizes the skin very well.
Let’s not forget that it is also a hair cream.
Episode E
This formula works very well for people with eczema. It is non-greasy and is an effective moisturizer.
Eucerine Aquaphor
This repairs and heals the skin, and is perfect for you if you have cracked heels, chapped lips and cracked cuticles. Because it’s light on the skin, you feel refreshed and soothed.
