For really dry hands and feet (or elbows) using anything with Shea Butter will help. You don't want a lotion, you want something thicker. Don't use it on your face though. For face stuff I don't know... I've got super sensitive skin and if you look at it the wrong way it'll break out with zits.

So far I've used a cream by Vichy, I think it's Thermal Type S or something to that nature. Its helped, but with my skin being as oily as it is I don't need to use it very often.
