Fauxie said: Darker skinned folks in particular, do you have any recommendations for good lotions and creams to prevent ashy skin, and also for scar removal (fading?) or to assist in healing skin? Something relatively affordable since we're not about to go to Tibet and milk a unicorn or anything like that.
And no skin whitening products please! Any good stuff you've found that works well?  use some glycerine and  "we make our heroes in America only to destroy them" | |

The oil is GREAT and it costs a dollar fifty. I use it all the time now. Haven't spent much on lotion since this discovery. The hubs has eczema and his doctor suggested mineral oil with the lotion.
We'll try to get that too. Thanks!  no prob, sweet cheeks! | |

I also add a capsule to babies formula. He was born late and was really dry. This winter has not helped his poor skin. We have stuff here called Sudocrem antiseptic cream that helps Eczema too. I do not remember seeing it in the states. Ppl use it here for diaper rash. | |
