»Liela, you'll want to use a heavy moisturizing sope if you plan on doing multiple long hot baths. Tap water can dry out your skin just as much as cold weather if you take to many long showers or baths. Olay has a few good ones for that.
Out of the shower you should get a Aloe Vera + Buttermilk type body lotion. Something that absorbs deep into the skin and heals. Aloe vera is a very good natural moisturizer on it's own, but the ones with buttermilk will keep your skin soft.
I'll try aloe and buttermilk. Thanks Dreadnot! It's got to smell a right sight better than mink oil, at any rate, and it sounds like it would really help.
Poor Irohuro. We all have crazy aunts, but at least I don't have to live with mine! /comfort
