Lotions do not contain the essential oils that will penetrate the surface layer of the skin. Lotions are only a temporary solution and will only act upon the skin for a very short time. For dry skin, mix equal proportions of jojoba oil with vitamin E oil. The jojoba oil has the tiniest molecule that will penetrate the surface layer and draw the large molecule of the vitamin E in after it. It can be aplied as often as necessary to 'heal' the skin. After the skin has improved, twice daily applications will keep the skins natural oil/moisture content 'balanced'.
