The Perfect Body Cream

[QuilliamCakespeare]

I'm hunting for the perfect body cream/moisturiser. I have sensitive and dry skin so need something rich and moisturising but also want a lovely lasting scent. So far I've tried:

Neil's Yard Bee Lovely - lovely honey and orange scent, thick cream which doesn't rub in very well and only keeps my skin smooth for a couple of hours: 5/10

Aveeno Lotion with Almond Oil - skin stays nice and hydrated and the scent is nice but quite mild. 7/10

Lush Dream Cream - really soothing on the skin, very moisturising absorbs quickly, not too heavy. Scent is a bit weird. 8/10

Elemis Sea Lavender and Samphire Body Cream - smells lovely but is quite thin/watery and doesn't keep my skin moisturised for long. 6/10

Am I asking for the moon on a stick? Please tell me someone has found the perfect light yet rich, buttery, beautiful smelling cream!

Astral all the way, huge pot for little money, lasts ages, use every where, and it’s been around for years so must be doing something right!

I luuuuuuuuff Palmers Shea body lotion - makes you super soft, smells incredible, not expensive!

Clarins Moisture rich body lotion - the best I've used.

Decléor Aroma Confort Moisturising Body Milk is the bees knees!

Dove Silky in the pot, not bottle, its £2 in Savers and I'm fussy with body creams, this doesn't leave you sticky in the slightest yet is lovely and rich for my dry legs, but it also doesn't irritate my keratosis pilaris on my arms! Smells good too.

I got one from either Lidl or Aldi - whoever makes Cien. It is white with blue writing. Very milky (liquid) but feels lovely on the skin. My body has a bit of a heat rash I think at the moment (Not been out in the sun)and this feels nice and cool and fresh.

Princess Bear - I have the aroma glow thingy and like that too!

I also agree with the Palmers. I use the one for dry bits of the body for my entire body. It's annoying that it only comes in small bottles and it does sit on your skin for a bit, but it works better than anything else.

Have you tried Korres body balms? Their fig especially is amazing.

I have normal to dry but not very sensitive skin and I love them. When on budget Waitrose Pure body balm will do.
