Can you recommend a miracle working body cream?

[nobeer]

I have really dry flaky skin, have done since infancy. It always gets worse around this time of year and I'm just fed up with every time I get undressed a flurry of flakes flutter to the floor like snow. Can anyone recommend a really good body cream or lotion for someone like me with really dry, sensitive, atopic skin?

I find it much more effective to use an oil after my shower, I like the balance me toning one.

I have the same skin and with excema.I use a body brush in the shower to get rid of the dry skin and then Soap and Glory body butter.

Its really rich but doesn't effect my skin.

Thank you, I like the idea of the brush, and then an oil or butter. I think I needs to get rid of the flakes before piling on the butter or oil! Cream/lotions just aren't cutting it! I've got eczema too vintage though fortunately it's not too bad at the mo, just a couple of patches on hands and feet.

I have been using coconut oil in the shower after the brush but the effects do not last as long as S&G body butter, its very good!

Lush Dream Cream and Dream Wash, I used this on my dd as a baby her skin was awful also recommended to lots if other people some with just dry skin and others with serious skin conditions and they all love it to

Jojoba oil from Holland and Barrett is great

Thank you! A few goodies there to put on my Christmas list!

A really good body scrub - look for an oil/salt based one as that will give you moisture and don't be gentle with it!
I love l'occitane ultra rich Shea butter but body shop Shea body butter or something similar will work too

body shop have free delivery and £25 off if you spend £50 so half price really.
