Hi there! My fraternal twin and I (but not my other brother) both have similar kinds of skin that seem like a lighter form of ichthyosis. We have never actually been to a dermatologist but we both suffer from particularly scaly skin on the legs as well as very dry skin all over. We try to use moisturizers frequently but I find that after a few hours my skin is just as dry as ever and it annoys me that there is no satisfactory solution. Do you have any suggestion on what advice we should seek or particular moisturisers that work well for this kind of skin? EDIT: We also have very wrinkly hands and feet

Thanks! I think that does exist around where I live. So far the best thing I have found is E45 moisturising shower wash. My skin doesn't dry up like it does after any other product. I also make sure to use a moisturiser and then something waxy like Burt's Bees for my hands as they get really badly irritant after getting wet.
