Dry skin? Yes, yes, yes! My hands are pretty tough and calloused, but my left foot still feels really course to me. I have snagged some pretty heavy socks with my foot. (See, ladies, it's not just women's hose that has problems.

)
Everyone has a favorite lotion. Mine is Eucerin, the lotion not the cream. It does not soak in a lot, but seems to stay near the top. Not that it feels greasy, but it keeps that top layer treated for a long time. I have not noticed any stains on clothing, either. Big drawback -- it's the most expensive on on the shelf at Walgreens.
