I am looking for a new cream as week as a moisturizer in the same scent. I have really dry skin, lets just say I have to put lotion on after I get out of the shower or I will itch like crazy. I have been using the curel that I put on everywhere else on my face just so it won't dry out, and it leaves my face oily. As for the cream I am open to pretty much anything with a lime scent. Any recommendations for one or both?

I like castle forbes lime balm as a post shave - its alcohol free and very gentle. The scent is great. I also l Iike GFT skin food in the same vein. For a lime cream I personally use GFT but I wonder if it might not irritate your skin. I am inclined to suggest Mikes Natural Soap Lime flavour - not a cream but about as wholesome a list of ingredients as I can think of for sensitive skin.

My skin isn't really sensitive. Just dry. I have used quit a few different soap and creams and none have irritated me, but I find soaps just dry me out more.
I have been eyeing some skin food. I might just order the GFT cream and skin food. Is the skin food moisturizing or should I find a moisturizer too?

QCS and Castle Forbes both make awesome lime shaving creams. The QCS aftershave balm is top quality, I have not tried the Castle Forbes yet.
TOBS Lime and lemon?

I was just looking at that. Seems like a good price, can't hurt to try it out.
Have you tried Eucerin as a moisturizer? It has a thick consistency.
As I hope everyone knows by now, Castle Forbes Lime is the top choice.
I also have dry skin and find the CF Lime balm very good - but not cheap. I also like Clinique M Lotion as an after shave balm (at a much lower price point).

Curel is about the same as Eucerin. I might try as find a sample of the CF. Thanks for the recommendations everyone.
Kiss my face lime is pretty good!
I have enjoyed the T&H lime range.
Especially the balm, but also the cream and shower gel.

Are you using a natural shower soap? I used to get dry skin from over the counter, now I use natural soaps that are more moisturizing. Mike's Natural has shower soaps in addition to the shave soap. So do most of the other artisans.
I personally prefer GFT.
+1 i really enjoyed both shaving cream and aftershave balm.
If you tried the West Indian Limes bath soap one time you would never get the shower gel again. The bath soap is simply amazing.

I have found that Lever 2000 works well and doesn't dry me out very bad. I have used some goats milk soap that I really liked but I ran out of it and haven't ordered any more.

That T&H setup there looks very nice. I have about 4 different creams that I want to try out now. Lol anyone know where you can get some samples? I saw on the GFT site you could get a big sample pack but I don't really want all those, just the lime.
