As a classical trombonist, there is nothing worse then going in dry . for years itchy dry skin has left me with nothing but blisters and bad memories. that is until I found this lotion . not only do I feel great when using this, but I smell great too. I cant recommend this enough to anyone wrestling the dragon that is bad skin, this product has really helped me take a load off and I will never go without it again. best option for those who have dry skin / extra dry skin. as I have very dry skin it retains moisture for almost 24 hours and no more peeling, broken or cracked skin.
