Want to get into the habit of using it daily , have tried a few Palmolive , Avenno , Nivea Palmers , and most recently Loccitane and Molton Brown ( last 2 had high hopes for sadly not so impressed but maybe just chose wrong fragrance )
Can I get your recommendations . Thanks.

I like Vaseline intensive care body lotion, the one in the yellow bottle & the aloe Vera one in the green bottle are nice. £3 for a large bottle in Tesco.

Superdrug Vitamin E. I use the cream (in a tub) and it's a bit thick and needs massaging in but looking on the site there's a cream in a pump dispenser which might be thinner. Lovely and softening.

(As a word of warning, if you're considering Nivea, for a change I bought Nivea Lotion for normal skin and came out in a rash on my legs after a few days that disappeared when I went back to using the Vit E. I see from the back that they've changed the formula so that might account for it.)

I love Soap & Glory ones

The thing that has made the biggest difference to me is using sweet almond oil on my skin immediately after a bath or a shower. Bonus is that it's cheap and natural.

I like the Body Shop tubs, shea butter etc. They are quite thick and very moisturising, they don't irritate my skin.

Palmer's the old faithful, or the dove pro age body butter is pretty good too

I had a free pot of Body Shop avocado body yoghurt. Loved it. Can't wait to finish up everything else I have stashed away so I can buy some.

I've been using The Ordinary retinol in Squalane a couple of times a week & it's made a huge improvement in my KP and general dryness. Cerave otherwise

Yes the Dove pro age body butter is very good.

I love the body shop body butter - coconut especially.

Daily I use GGarnier7 days lotion in she butter, or coconut if i can get hold of it. They also have lighter fragrances.
