Best creams for dry legs?

Just that really... oils too impractical. One that smells nice would be good too. Any that double up on my dry feet even better. I've just realised I'm finally going on holiday!!

I'm watching with interest, I have the scaliest-dustiest legs known to man, I could list you 100 products that won't work.

The nearest I've got to de-scaling/de-dusting my legs/feet is Aveeno Cream, but even that doesn't keep on top of it, unless I moisturise two or three times a day, and who has time for that?

I find the lidl hand cream great for my scaly shins legs

Body shop mango body butter- works great on my dry/scaly legs!

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 14/08/2017 16:22

Aveeno cream or lotion.

TheFaerieQueene · 14/08/2017 16:29

I second aveno

I've been using palmers cocoa butter body lotion and its been working well.

d270r0 · 14/08/2017 16:32

Also whatever you use, try to put it on when legs are still slightly damp from shower as then it locks in the moisture.

Cetraben!

Interesting aveeno I've never tried that.
Palmers I don't like the smell unfortunately know it's supposed to quite good.

Don't have a Lidl near me so not an option!

I think the blue aveeno is much better than the green one for dry skin

Happy Naturals by Sainsbury's. As a teacher l was bought one of these at the end of term as part of a pamper hamper that a lovely mum had made. I wasn't sure of the brand but googled it because it was so good. I have the argan oil body butter and it smells lovely,maybe a bit strong but l was impressed! I have snake skin dry legs and use this straight out of the shower / bath. It does take a bit of rubbing in though....but200ml for £4 is okay too. X

Either Vaseline intensive care or neutragena intensive repair. E45 intensive recovery. Also soap and glory body lotions are pretty good.

LesPins · 14/08/2017 18:33

E45 intensive is amazing. Had dry itchy legs for ages, using increasingly expensive Occitane Shea butter and was just getting worse. Someone suggested E45 and it has totally sorted them, a couple of years ago now.

Body shop body butters are great.

Queenofthedrivensnow · 15/08/2017 11:18

I find body shop butter a bit greasy. Definitely e45 to get your legs under control
