Itchy Skin

A few years ago, when my little cousin had her sweet sixteen, I wore a brand new polyester dress. The dress was a gift to me from my dad and stepmom and I thought it was super cute and would be perfect for the occasion. The party was a blast – we danced for hours!

The next day after my shower, I noticed that I had red bumps all over my torso. I thought maybe I'd scrubbed too hard and forgot about it. The next day, the bumps were still there and now they were starting to itch. That damn dress gave me an allergic reaction. The bumps were part of my skin for over a month and the only thing that helped to soothe the itch and the rash was Eucerin Calming Cream. After the rash went away, I stopped using the cream. My skin didn't itch anymore.

Then, the following year, I moved up north and experienced a true Winter complete with dry and itchy skin. Since being here, I've tried every cream that I had laying around... from Vaseline Aloe Fresh Hydrating Lotion to Mary Kay Body Lotion to the Ahava lotion that I received in my Birchbox. Everything works for the moment, but nothing seems to last. Then, the other day while I had an itchy leg attack at my mother's house, she handed me her Eucerin lotion. In all sincerity, the Eucerin is the only lotion that relieves the itch as well as hydrates my skin enough so that I don't itch again for another couple of days. I guess it's the only thing that works for me!

What about you? Do you ever experience itchy skin? What do you use to relieve it? I'd love your feedback on this!
