4. Apply your “barrier repair creams” and moisturizers immediately (within 3 minutes) after showering and bathing.

5. People with darker skin should avoid applying anything that irritates their skin because irritation will lead to unsightly discoloration and dark spots.

6. If you have eczema, do not use Vaseline petroleum jelly as your moisturizer because I have found that it will exacerbate or worsen eczema.

7. If you must shave your legs, make sure you use a lubricating shaving gel or cream specifically designed for shaving. Some women like to utilize soap as their lubricant, which will usually lead to problems.
