Alpha Keri makes a bath oil that might do what you need. Aveeno oatmeal baths make your skin very soft as well.

What a fun resolution! I'm a garden/outdoor girl, so my skin is not going to be what it could be. Too much time outside during the last 50+ years. I'm okay with that...but, like you, I did make a decision to take better care of what I do have. I love Estee Lauder, but in the last few years, didn't want to spend the bucks for it. I've committed to Olay...the daily moisturizer with sunscreen and...the hardest to remember...the nightly moisturizer. You'd be surprised how often I forget to wash my face and put on moisturizer before bed. (I'm just now beginning to where makeup again--new business where I deal with people.) I do tell a difference when I use this...I have dry skin and it looks more alive and fresh when I'm faithful. I'd like to add facials once a month, too. Well see how the new business grows...

Good to know, Shambo. When my husband was in the nursing home they used something similar to protect his forearms for the same reason. I noticed many of the residents wearing them.

Retin-A has been shown to thicken skin and address sun damage. They (users) say it takes months to see the difference, but one day you take a closer look and realize that your skin looks better. It doesn't add plumpness back, though. I'm 48 and am tossing around the idea of starting it. It has studies to back up the claims and the side effects can be minimized by careful administration. For now, I use a hydration-focused regimen on my face, neck, chest and my hands get whatever is left over. That and sunscreen have made a pretty big difference since I started in addressing aging last January. I use hydration/occlusive creams or lotions after showering and put sunscreen on everyday so, I'm not ignoring the other parts. The upper third just gets "special" attention!
