Dry skin - looking for an all over body moisturiser

Can anyone recommend an effective all over body moisturiser? My dry skin seems to have got a lot worse due to perimenopause - not just on my legs any more, but all over my torso! Would prefer something natural if possible

I very, and I mean very strongly suggest you purchase some natural shea butter 100% natural no fancy perfumed ones, along with astral which is not as natural but resembles and is more effective than E45. These will sort you out. You need to be consistent with application you will see a remarkable difference in 3 days or much before. Use one in morning one at night. I'll be extremely shocked if your not satisfied.

CeraVe

I use organic, unscented almond oil. It works especially well when applied to damp skin, and it's very reasonably priced.

Superdrug do an amazing knock off of Bio Oil. Sinks in and not greasy. Not expensive either.

marks body butter in coconut is lush.

garnier after sun is a good quick splash on and leave.

I bought a bottle of Sugar Crush moisturiser following a recommendation in a beauty blog - Nadine Baggott I think. My legs were like scaly snakeskin! They’re so smoothie now after only a couple of weeks use.

It’s cheap, cheerful and does the trick.

Bio oil. It's ££ but amazing.

Another vote for CeraVe.

This is very good (and it's half price in Boots at the moment)!

Look on the Balmonds website! I use th balm for my face but the moisturiser looks good (100% natural)

Child's Farm, made for kids, natural and cheap at around £2-3.

I like the Nivea Q10 lotions, there's one with argan oil in it too. It's often on offer in supermarkets.

Palmers cocoa butter

and another recommendation for the Garnier one mentioned above

My daughter uses this and really likes it. It's a reasonable price too ...
