thanks aishah....in most Walmarts here and most drug stores, there are both socklets and gloves to use for overnight moisturizing. I can't remember if the gloves are, but I do know the socklets are impregnated with a product to help moisturize the feet over night...as an aside, I have even seen them in the BiLo grocery stores locally!
A pair of plain white, thin cotton gloves can be used after applying Vaseline liberally to one's hands to help soften them overnight, too....had a friend who did that for years...she would buy a box of disposable, thin white cotton gloves...her hands were like velvet!

I remember my mom recommending vaseline with white cotton socks overnight. I guess she did (does?) it periodically.

I found something called utter butter..yeah I know...but my hands get really dryed out with all the hand washing I do..works great.

This maybe a good place to remind everyone, including myself, that what we put on our skin is absorbed, at least in part, into our tissues, deep tissues and then blood stream.

Remember that our skin is the largest organ and is permeable to all chemicals. Reading the contents of lotions, oils, soaps is confusing but the milder and the more organic the better. There are tons of carcinogens out there to watch for.

Putting anything on our skin, including sun tan oils, is the same as sticking some of it in our veins.

Something i tend to let slide, and really we shouldn't.

http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/ is a really great resource for learning what's toxic and what isn't. you can search by product, brand, or ingredient, and they also have a bunch of helpful articles about the cosmetics industry, labeling, and toxic ingredients in general.

I have used every moisturizer in the book (or at least feel like I have) and I can say that I skim a coat of Cetaphil on my face every morning. It works as well as way more expensive brands. I do, however, love me some Origins products if I wanna splurge!

I LOVE shea butter for body lotion. It is a super heavy moisturizer but you can use it in your hair and basically everywhere.
