Recommendations for lightweight moisturisers for very dry skin in hot weather

It's another 'what to do in the heat' one...I have very dry skin and we live in a very hard water area. This has always meant using a lot of body cream etc after every shower. In this weather I am obviously showering a lot more in the heat (we are in a red zone and house is east/west so an absolute oven), but now going through moisturiser like nobodies' business and it's time consuming. I have a skin oil, but that feels too greasy and then makes cooling off showers more of a full scrub.

If I don't fully moisturise I look and feel itchy and uncomfortable. I think I am looking for light to apply but heavy moisturising products that might help, but aren't too greasy and absorb well? Any thoughts?

Body moisturiser? I can't find better than Aveeno. The spray might be best in the heat, it applies lightly.

@owlpassport last time I used it it wasn't moisturising enough for me, but a spray form is a good idea for speed

La Roche Posay Cicaplast, they’ve just introduced a spray to the range.
