Best body moisturiser recommendations for improving dry skin appearance in your fifties

[BadActors]

Has anyone found a body moisturiser that helps improve the look of your skin? I’m 57 now and can see my skin’s looking drier. It’s also needs as much help as it can get just to look better.
can anyone recommend something?
thanks

I have this by my bed too

I have been maintaining my routine for quite sometime with La roche posay's moisturiser after some research and will share my routine here if that provides any help:
Morning:
Using water to wash your face,
Sebamed clear face gel,
LRP spf
Evening:
LRP moisturizer,
Tretinoin (0.1) from skinorac
Sebamed clear facial gel

I always find myself going back to Beauty Pie’s Super Healthy Skin Deluxe Body Moisture Crème, it sinks in without leaving a greasy finish, is very moisturising and that feeling lasts all day. Plus it’s not got an overpowering scent so can be used with perfume.

The best body moisturiser I’ve found is Dream Cream by Lush. I’ve tried to find others as good but I can’t so cough up the price-although it does last a long time if you get the big tub. I’m in my sixties and have soft skin-it’s fullof olive oil. it’s the only thing I want to buy from there.

Aveeno.

For me the key is using something daily or at least every other day, something that is easy to use and absorbs quickly and is affordable. My skin isn’t sensitive and any of the Nivea, Vaseline intensive care or Aveeno lotions are fine for me. I look for a pump bottle and a special offer.

Yes, I use good quality olive oil too. I have a Spanish friend who always uses it after being in the sun.

Natural and full of antioxidants.

I have also used aveeno before and liked it

I use blue pump bottle Nivea for day and Bio oil at night before bed

For those who use oils. Even if you take off the excess with a towel, don’t they still make a mess of your clothes?

I'm in my mid 70s and although my skin is as saggy and wrinkled as you would expect, it's also scale free (many older skins get that crocodile type thing going on) and well hydrated.

I've always had very dry skin prone to small outbreaks of eczema and started using E45 bath oil in the shower ten years ago.

in hospital recently a nurse commented on how good my skin looked on my legs and arms.

Which one is it please, sounds worth a try?

The range is called kindness. I have 3 out of the range (not the blue one, so can't vouch for that). I'm seriously impressed.

The range name looks like we should give a try. :)

The day they name a mens aftershave or shower gel Kindness is the day I'll rejoice! Wanky name aside, it's a great product.

I have oil on just now, straight after my shower. I am dressed. Today it is a 100% almond oil, bought for about €3 for a 200ml bottle, in a supermarket in Spain. Gorgeous stuff and lasts ages.

If I use oil before bed I tend to put cheap t-shirt material, dark PJ’s on though, rather than risking my white cotton bedding!

Thank you for the medical info and connection to inflammation- Fascinating! I have never heard of this before but definitely an incentive to keep up with the regular body moisturisering!

Any of the Rituals ones, This Works or for a lighter touch this

I think as we get older we need body lotions with ‘actives’ rather than just moisturisers. Actives like AHAs, retinols or urea will help most with crepey skin. Loads of brand recommendations on this thread and you don’t need to spend a fortune.
