There is nothing worse than being in a public place and having the desperate need to have a good scratch. People must think I have fleas!!
I have tried EVERYTHING to combat it. Blood tests (for underlying health problems), Vitamins, Oil baths, Essential oils, thick moisturisers, every home remedy I can think of from baking soda to oatmeal to aloe vera. I have even changed my soap and the soap powder I wash my clothes in. Nothing is working, there is no rash just ALL OVER itchy skin!!
While I still don't know what is causing the itchiness the only relief I have been able to find is
THE BODY SHOP'S VITAMIN E BODY BUTTER

Contains Cacao Seed Butter, Shea Butter, Glycerin, Wheat Germ Oil and Lanolin. This is a really really thick butter that gives me immediate relief as soon as I apply it to my skin.

I have tested it by doing one arm only compared to the other to see how effective it is in stopping the itching and I can only describe it as a blessed event!! If you have ever been THAT itchy and then found something wonderful to relieve it you KNOW what I mean.

This butter has a wonderful cooling effect on the skin and a light pleasant aroma. Even though the cream has a thick buttery texture it soaks right in and doesn't leave you greasy. Claims to offer 24 hour hydration for normal skin but I have dry skin and found it works just as well.
If your skin has been inexplicably itchy this winter you might want to give this Vitamin E Body Butter a go.
If you are like me and there isn't a Body Shop near you, you can purchase online here. They have a whole range of Vitamin E skincare for face and body plus all their regular gorgeous products.
I would love to hear if you have any remedies or skin lotions that have helped you with itchy skin, please leave a comment below with a link to your blog so I can come visit you.
