Our Noble Formula Bar Soap with Pyrithione Zinc is very moisturizing.

Ingredients are:
Saponified Olive Oil infused with calendula, Saponified Emu Oil, 2% Pyrithione Zinc (combats flake, itch, dandruff), Oatmeal. It is a true cold process soap. Feels almost oily as you wash, but rinses clean.

My 31 yr old daughter keeps her hands from cracking & bleeding, by using this soap. 23 yr old bought expensive face products for her occasional breakouts. It made her skin so much worse. She switched to NF Bar Soap with excellent results. Works on oily T-zone as it cleans while moisturizing, thus not inducing the skin to produce more oil. The bar lasts a long time.

We’ve recently developed a variation on the above, replacing the Emu Oil with Shea Butter, for those who wish an ‘animal free’ product.

I work for a physician owned company, selling products used mostly for problem skin (eczema, psoriais, seborhea, etc) but have great ‘general use’ products also. Noble Formula products contain the Pyrithione Zinc (ZnP). Noble Mystique products do not contain the ZnP.

Thanks, Lorelei

My skin was dry, itchy and I was unable to cope up with this problem. I got to know about a website myskin.com via facebook. I followed the home remedies they have mentioned in their forum section. It worked well for me. Have a peep using ‘‘greatskin’’ as an invite code.

I am using Retin A for its anti-againg properties and I am also finding it challenging in the cold winter weather. I made three changes in my routinue and my skin is happier:
1. Since its’ the dryness, not just the cold that is causing problems, I use a humidifier in my bedroom.
2. I cut back to using Retin A to just 3X/week, rather than every night.
3. After applying Retin A, I top it with an a moisturizer. In your case I would use an oil free one.
I am going to stay on this modified routine until spring or when I move to Maui, whichever comes first.

Thanks for the post. Nice photo. Snow is exhilarating.I hate winter only because it makes my skin so dry and I can’t be in my usual completion. Your tips are really helpful for people like me to protect from this winter (Obviously to enjoy winter like everyone else too).

This is actually really really helpful information. I have horrifically dry skin during winter and was wonder how it was occuring and what I could do to stop it. I currently apply moisturiser like it’s going out of fashion, but keeping my hands gloved up and away from the cold might also be a measure I can take.

Your tips are excellent. Drinking plenty of water has helped my skin stay hydrated in this dry Illinois winter, I miss San Diego…

My friend’s Dermatologist told her that it is impossible to be itchy and cold at the same time (Unless the itch comes from an external reason like an itchy sweater or dry skin) Can you get a “random itch” when you are cold?

I’m unable to eat anything with high amounts of oils/fats in it because of a malabsorbtion issue, including things like nuts, eggs and dairy. On top of that I’m in the midst of Canadian winter now, and for some odd reason I keep getting an itchy, flaky and red patch on my chin that never seems to completely go away regardless of what cream my dermatologist puts me on. I’m on some antibiotics for it too, but I’d be interested to hear your thoughts!
