A member asked:
Why does my body always sting after using moisturiser, have tried a variety of moisturisers and no improvement?

Dry skin: Dry skin always stings when you moisturize it. Use moisturizers with more oily content such as vaseline, shea butter or vegetable shortening, they should sting less than lotions. Also avoid all fragrance in these products.
