Leg oil/dry body oil

Hi,

I've been using This Works skin deep dry leg oil for a few years and I find it makes a big difference to my legs, however it's now around £44! Does anyone have any recommendations for an alternative? I'm not keen on Bio Oil and would prefer something not too greasy.

Thank you.

Nuxe dry oil? I quite like it, not greasy at all but quite fragranced

Aveeno has a spray oil. It’s scented and sinks in well.

Not oil, but: I have some serums intended for the face (IIRC they are Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, Vitamin C), and I find them wonderful for my dry legs. I get really sandpapery from knees to ankles, and sometimes my skin cracks from dryness in winter. The serums are even better than conventional moisturisers at alleviating the dryness and preventing the cracking. I use them without applying moisturiser over the serum.

Palmers Skin Therapy. oil smells of cocoa, feels divine and is very reasonably priced.

Brilliant

I bought some SuperDrug Vit E Mousse , less messy than oil .
Smells ok , not the best but does the job.( I bought some when I was away and had time on my hands to do hair masks and bodyscrubs )

Rituals body mousse or oil is gorgeous (I love the Sakura but changed to the Karma one this time )

Another vote for Nuxe

Avon Skin so soft

Has the added advantage of repelling Mozzies

I use Body Shop Shea Butter

Thanks for all of the suggestions.

I'm going to London today so I’ll take a look and see what I can find, I’ve made notes 😊and will definitely pop into Rituals Westfield.

I do have some face serum that I got in a beauty advent calendar so I’ll experiment with that too.

Is the Nuxe oil shimmery? I can’t quite work it out.

There's one with shimmer and the original one without. Get the one without as that way you can use it on hair as well.
