I have extremely dry skin and have tried just about every kind of lotion/balm out there. Most are greasy and leave a mark on the fabric. The one that does not leave marks and works the best for me is "Aveeno Hand Lotion" It keeps my skin moist for hours and does not leave any marks or spots on the fabric--it has oatmeal in it----it is the only one I will use anymore.

My apologies if I'm repeating anyone....
I had to go to a dermatologist earlier this year, and they recommended CeraVe for a moisturizer. They recommended using it all over the body, but I haven't bothered with that yet. I have been using it on my face, and I like it better than any other moisturizer I've ever tried. It goes on lightly, but it really does moisturize (and I don't find it greasy). It is available at Wal-Mart....a rather large bottle is $12.49. Possibly there are coupons available on line (the dermatologist gave me a coupon). And, by the way, the dermatologist said most lotions don't really moisturize.

All ingredients are Dollar Store General Brand. You may find the vitamin E cream and Vaseline in smaller jars but use 16oz each.
The clean up is quick and not messy.
Bottle of Baby Lotion (16 ounces)
Jar of Vitamin E Cream (16 ounces)
Jar of Vaseline (16 ounces)
Mix all together with mixer until light and creamy and put in containers.

Cornhuskers Lotion: soaks in nicely although feels a bit viscous, almost slimy, at first but dries in a few minutes to soft, NON greasy. No color, no fragrance, no greasiness. Cheap, too, from grocery store lotion aisles or feed stores.
Bag Balm is wonderful but cannot be "used" close to the time when you want to handle anything like fabric.
