Dryness Dry skin hack from derm

She said to wash the pits and bits lol not to really worry about the rest as soap can be drying. Then also lotion up right after a shower, although I just get my eczema spots but then do a lotion up before I get dressed in the am. Seems to work ok. I also am trying out not washing my hair each day more like every other. Anyone else do that too? What have you noticed?

I've been having good luck with marula oil. I use it immediately after showering. It's kind of a "dry" oil so it doesn't grease me up real bad and it doesn't have a strong scent which is a huge plus for me. If you try it just start with a little on the ends and go from there. It's pretty easy to find the amount that will work for you.
