The only thing I've had any luck with is actual petroleum jelly or something like Working Hands. I shave a lot of the hair off of me because I ride bicycles. I doubt women have this problem and you won't find it mentioned much online, even in cycling forums. But, with some types of spandex fabric, hair will work it's way right through the weave and literally stick out of the fabric. I figure screw that so I shave every bit of hair off of me. But that leads to razor burn and dry skin so I had to get serious about dealing with it. It's a serious issue you can itch till you scratch holes in yourself. Petroleum jelly is the best thing I have found. Of course there is the mineral oil that people drink as a laxative. I can't stand the kind they use on babies because of the stupid perfume they put in it, I can't stand the smell of that stuff. The problem with mineral oil is that it's even greasier than petroleum jelly despite being much, much thinner so it makes an oily mess. If it would just drain off and leave me mostly dry I've day dreamed of just having a pool of that stuff and just dip myself in it after I getting out of the shower to not have to take all the time rubbing stuff on me in the morning. To be 100% guaranteed free of any dry skin anywhere would be awesome, no missed spots anywhere, ever and never itch again. My third choice, Working Hands is supposed to be so much on fixing problem cracked skin but it really isn't all it's made out to be. I will say it is not greasy at all which I like and if my skin isn't too dry I prefer to use that.
