How do I moisten my skin?

I am Black and I have dry skin. It is so dry that at times when I laugh, I can feel how non-moistened and tight it is... It is so bad that I feel uncomfortable when I laugh. What do you recommend doing? Thank you

    I have given away hundreds of snake sheds over the years and I can tell you that once they dry out after being shed they are brittle and there isn't much you can do but this will help. I have had a little luck wetting them down with warm water in a spray bottle and then once they are nice and moist you can roll them but not too small. Give the skin about a 15 minute soak time but not too heavy a soak, just where it begins to form water droplets on the skin. Then rub clear, natural mineral oil into the skin very carefully by hand and let it sit for a couple of hours rubbing more into it about an hour into it. You will need something about the size of a baseball that is circular in shape, not sure what you might have laying around but the larger the better. Anyway, cover the item with saran wrap and then rub mineral oil all over the saran wrap, then roll the skin around the large object and then lightly rub mineral oil on it as you roll it on and cover it with saran and use scotch tape to hold the saran in place. Wrap a towel and blanket around the whole thing and box it up. -Good luck.

    My friend uses vaseline for her skin to help oiturize it.

    But you have to put lotion on in the morning evening and night.

    Basically any lotion would do good!

    just use a face moisturizer. you can get it at either your local drug store or at a makeup store. I use nuetregena's spf15 moisturizer everyday and my face doesn't dry out :) even a little sunscreen will do the trick :)
