It could be to fragrances or other irritants, like mint (more relevant for men's products though.) The website I linked to lists the main culprits for that sort of thing under its brand reviews. Could also be allergies, however. Dry skin is inherently more sensitive so unnecessary irritants like mint will be all the worse for it.

Erm
You can't use either on your face? Just a "Simple" moisturiser will suffice.

Diprobase - What the Dermatologist prescribed for me
Curamid - Ditto - this is "stronger" than Diprobase and contains Lactic Acid and Urea. Better for areas of hyperkeratosis (heels / balls of feet, for example).
