Dry skin

Did anyone notice after surgery that your skin dry? I've noticed since I had my surgery on 8/8 that I can't keep enough lotion on to help my skin! Just curious?

I've noticed this too! (Sleeved 8/19). I especially notice it on my hands!

I thought I was alone. My hands are extremely dry.

Keep a bottle of baby oil in the shower. While you're still wet (after your done - before drying off) - apply the baby oil on and massage into skin generously. Dry off with a towel, than use your lotion.

I had alligator skin until I started doing this.

You can also try coconut oil. Works for hair too.
