Body moisturiser that will make me want to use it?

I need to moisturise my body more, my legs are very flaky but I can NEVER be bothered! I have tried different creams before and also oils but was hoping to get recommendations. I am looking for something hydrating but lightweight, easy to apply, not like a paste and ideally with a nice smell too, although I appreciate this is subject to personal taste. Open to spend up to £15.

Another vote for Nivea In-shower moisturiser. I can't stand feeling sticky with creams/lotions but this is really good, keeps me moisturised with minimal faff. They used to do an after sun version too and cocoa butter one for dry skin but not seen them for a while.

The sanctuary one is not as good imo.

I love Nutrogena Visibly Renew, which was recommended on here last year or so. Smells lovely and absorbs really well. I have dry, itchy skin with patches of eczema and it's been brilliant for that.

Aveeno creamy oil is brilliant.

My preference is the Nutrogena one, unscented - it works well and doesn’t interfere with my perfume. But really I think you just need to make it a non negotiable part of your routine, like brushing your teeth. I shower, do skincare/makeup, deodorant, body lotion, get dressed, dry hair, breakfast, teeth, out. If I missed any of those steps in the morning it would feel wrong!

I’m very lazy and the only ones I’ve bothered to use have been those body moisturizers you can use in the shower and the ones that are a stick roll-on.

Diprobase. I get it on prescription but you can buy it. It doesn't smell fruity etc but it is an absolutely amazing moisturiser, as it should be. I have tried aveeno, neutrogena, vaseline lotions, Palmer's etc and whilst they smell lovely and feel pleasant they do not moisturise as well as the diprobase. Aside from that I do rate st Ives dry skin moisturiser. It does a decent job.

I love the soap and glory righteous butter. Smells delicious, lasts all day. Not as luxurious but very budget friendly is superdrug's own vitamin E cream. I had horrific dry skin after I had my baby and this was the only thing that fixed it.
