    Padmini,

    I do not know about vaseline, but since Johnson's is not a sticky oil I did apply it after bath too, to avoid drying. Now I use just Mother Care's lotion. For excessive drying I heard that vaseline can be applied give it a try on a small portion and see if it works. I have done alot of R & D with oils and lotions and now settled for sure with something.

    Ramya,

    In the initial phase do not experiment with oils they might unnecessarily irritate the skin. Follow the same regime. You can change after may be 3 yrs if needed.

    Yes Lee,
    I just applied vasaline in his shoulder and looks like the dryness is coming down.
    Poonam,
    Even i had the plan of mixing olive and almond, but somehow simply applied olive directly and it created dryness...planning to wait for a week and cont olive+almond.

    Ladies,

    Few questions.. When you say oil - are you talking about applying oil for whole body before bath? or for hairs??

    Am just using Aveeno body wash for hairs & body wash, then applying J & J lotion & then using j & J powder thats it..

    Let me know if I can apply J & J oil for hairs befor bath? Not yet tried..

    Any suggestions?
