My daughter has very dry skin, and we tried everything to no avail (Aveeno included). After asking our pediatrician about this, she suggested we try good old fashion petroleum jelly on her damp skin twice a day just after her wash/bath. This has done the trick and now her skin is considerably softer and isn't as dry. For a nice fresh smell, we also like to use a little of the scented Johnson's "thick" baby oil. (I like to use that too). I also always pour some regular baby oil in her bath and limit the use of bubbles which tend to be very drying, as well. For soap, our pediatrician told us to use Dove, rather then the Johnson's baby soap which I found to be harsh, even on my skin.

34andhopeful, I've used Kemi oil on my hair, but I believe Keri oil is in the same family as the Keri lotion (??)

Peace and blessings,

Kelli
