Whenever I take a bath,usually once a week, shower all of the other days (I am British I grew up in a bathtub, what do you expect?)LOL, I get white scaly skin on my hands and feet, little whit spots as well, goes away after a few hours, I do not get it when I shower, at least not as much, does this happen to anyone else?

    Hmmm. Not sure what you
    Hmmm. Not sure what you mean, but if it's dry skin you may try to exfoliate with a mild exfoliant like a sugar scrub. It's like sugar and oil mixed up. Takes off the rough patches and leaves your skin so smooth. Once a month I use a pumice stone on my feet and sugar scrub once a week. Skin is beautiful and no callouses or dry feet in sight.

    Aveeno makes nice products for the bath that soothE severe dry skin also. My skin is extremely dry and I have found exfoliation and moisture based products are key.

    White Spots
    Never seen this before, change the soap you are using and see if it still happens, it could be something in the soap while you are in the tub soaking. Just my wild guess
