Dry skin on arms

The skin on my arms is looking dry and scaly. I use body lotion but I think I need something a little richer. Which body balms, butters or oils do people rate?

Scrub your arms with a loofah mitt in the shower, then after a quick towel dry, apply some Sanctuary Spa wet skin moisturiser on whilst your skin is still damp.

I use an emollient, such as Epimax, for very dry skin on my arms and legs. It’s very good.

And keep hydrated!

I’ve just discovered Mixa urea cica repair. So cheap and I can’t actually believe the difference it’s made so quickly.

Thanks dotty, I've ordered some to try.

I've been using serums from Aldi of all places - they are under £3 - they are really great on my arms as well as on my face.

Just came back on here to say that I've been using the Mixa Urea Cica Repair on my arms for about a week now and it is really effective. Not the most glamourous of products and it does make me feel a bit clammy when it's hot out but it does what it says on the tin!
