Olive oil (I use extra virgin) and water in a cheap atomiser from Superdrug, spray on after baths.

I've been using this on me and DS for months now without any problems. Cleared up DS's dry skin on the tops of his arms too. No mess either.

I don't but I've got tricky skin so I use Lush's Ultrabland which is eco friendly too..

Or actually someone once told me that rosewater and glicerine is fab, and that's actually what's in Ultrabland.

is it? the pong of their store always put me off, also seem to be allergic to some of their products, are they really natural along the lines of neal's yard then?

No, I don't smell of anchovies!

Don't smell of anything really, that might be the only downside for some.

Yeah, RTTH, some of their stuff is a bit full on but the Ultrabland is very minimalist. Suits my face better than anything, even Eve Lom. Still use the EL cloth with it though.

hehe..even quicker, use Grapeseed oil or Olive oil or Almond oil with a drop of lavender or some other aromatherapy oil that is good for your skin into the bathwater...no need to moisturise after
