Bar soap for dry skin

9 replies

I’m looking for recommendations for bar soap for the shower please (reasonable prices).

My skin has become a bit dry whether I use shower gel or soap. I’d like to try soap again but have already tried:

L’Occitane
Faith in Nature
Waitrose Camomile
Dove
Pears

While my skin is a bit dry I’ve found body moisturiser sorts it immediately, so I don’t need medical-grade products.

I got some Palmolive delivered instead of my usual Imperial Leather (which I normally just use under my arms because of peri). I tried using the IL all over when I first started using it and it made me dry and itchy.

Anyway, I took the Palmolive on holiday and ended up using that all over and it was/is lovely. No itching or drying.

I use Savon de Marseille, olive oil soap which is great for dry skin.

I use cetaphil soap on my face with no issues but it’s a bit expensive for everywhere.

See if you can find someone who makes cold process soap. The glycerine will be left in the bar (it's stripped out of commercial soap) and is wonderfully moisturising.

I use Highland bar Soap it's been fine for my dry skin. Dh bought me it the other Christmas and I've continued ordering from them.

I use this olive oil soap, it doesn't leave your skin feeling dry or tight.

I use Sanex bar soap. I have a pre-existing skin condition it doesn't make worse

I like Obvs soaps, I use the oat one on my face and the Himalayan rose one for my body.

I use Oilatum soap. I’ve never found it in the shops, only online.
