[pct-l] Skin Moisturizer

[Jim & Jane Moody]

Moisturizer is even more important from Campo to KM, imo.  I needed to use chapstick and hand cream frequently to avoid painful, cracked cuticles and very chapped lips.  Chapstick with a sunscreen component is also useful, exp. in the Sierra if there's snow.

It is interesting reading all the posts, blogs and guide books on the PCT. Nobody has mentioned skin moisturiser. I'm from NZ and did the JMT a couple of years ago. Towards the end of the hike in the high Sierras one thing I would have killed for was skin moisturiser. I strongly recommend you pack some in your resupply at Tuolumne Meadows and Echo Lake (or buy from store and smother it on. When I came off Mt Whitney my skin was like a sheading lizard. Obviously being in low humidity for a couple of weeks sucked every bit on natural oils I had in my skin.
