I have rough skin on one ankle.

Hey, I'm not ashamed to admit it.

In the past year, I have tried every type of cream, lotion, and scrub available to try to get rid of it.

I haven't found anything that works for any length of time.

Last weekend, I found Dr. Scholl's for Women Ultra Overnight Foot Cream. I really like it. Doesn't totally help the problem, but it's looking better.

So Monday night, I'm going through my nightly lotion routine.

"It puts the lotion on its skin..."

I'm thinking how much I really like this stuff. I decide to check the ingredient list. I'm thinking it probably has Shea Butter in it.

Nope, it has Urea.

My brain was sort of fuzzy by this time, so I leaned over to Dan and said, "Isn't Urea in Urine?"

He confirmed it. Then I put the lotion on my dry elbows. He said, "So you just put urine on your elbows?"

Turns out it's not urine. I had to google it to find out that although it is found in some animal urine, the urea in lotion is commercially produced. I feel so much better now.

Dan's horror at thinking I was putting urine all over my body was amusing, though.

OK, this week's Eye Candy is the 2 dudes from CSI Miami. I kind of like Ryan Wolff, but he's been such a dork lately that I couldn't put him up there alone. And then Delko with the whole getting shot in the head thing (even though Horatio, the dude with red hair was standing out in the open... yeah, Delko, hiding behind a car is the one who'll get shot). Anyway, there they are. They're not bad on the eyes. The show is like a great melodrama, and I have to keep watching just to get my giggles.

HAHA, "it puts the lotion on its skin" had me rollin'. It's amazing what people come up with to put in products sometimes....wouldn't have been too surprised if it had been. :)

LMAO. Have you tried Flexitol? It's amazing. I've found it at Target, Walgreens, etc. Here's a linky: http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=92720&catid=17065&trx=PLST-0-SEARCH&trxp1=17065&trxp2=92720&trxp3=1&trxp4=0&btrx=BUY-PLST-0-SEARCH

As I started to read your dry skin on your ankle, I was going to suggest the Overnight Foot Cream ... as I too have a rough ankle - I have a bad habit of sitting on my feet, tucking it up under me, no matter where I sit.
I also have a skin graph on the other ankle, which also gets very dry ... and I use the Overnight Foot Cream on it. The Dr recommended Lanolin, but it doesn't absorb well.
I say keep going with the Overnight Foot Cream ... I have also found it works faster if you put socks on - I goop it onto my ankle and put my socks on by morning its nice & soft again!!
Good Luck!
