Dry crinkly skin - help

4 replies

LoserWinner · 02/08/2023 12:15

I’ve lost a lot of weight (four and a half stone), and as a result, I have way too much skin which is crinkly and crepey. I can handle that, but it’s also really dry, and I need some way to moisturise effectively. Spending half an hour every morning slapping on Nivea lotion is time consuming and not hugely effective. Can anyone suggest a shower gel that would do the trick better? I tried Oilatum, but it leaves my skin feeling sticky.

The whole Vitamin E range is lovely - they have a super rich body cream that might suit you too - I have the shower cream with coconut, it's gorgeous and non drying https://www.superdrug.com/toiletries/washing-bathing/shower-gels-body-wash/vitamin-e-original-body-wash-250ml/p/794704

@bingohandjob Thanks, that’s really helpful. Do they do one that doesn’t smell like coconut? It always reminds me of the leftover Bounty at the bottom of a bag of fun-size chocolate bars.

Haha, I appreciate it's not to everyone's taste - I love coconut scent in bath stuff, reminds me of lovely holidays. Yes, they do one without the scent - 'original'. I bought mine when it was half price and was very pleasantly surprised how nice it is.

Try the Neutrogena moisturising spray.
Spray it on, rub it in, leave it for a minute to dry and you're done.
