Please can you recommend a good body moisturiser that I can buy on the high street?

I don't normally bother but I'd like to treat my skin while I'm on holiday.

I don't need anything that promises firming or anti-aging and preferably not too scented.

Just a good quality moisturiser (or oil) that will prevent my skin from getting too dry.

I love things like L'occitane rose body cream but that's too pricey for me at the moment. I'm looking to spend about £10-£20.

Is there a specific on you recommend @OhFeyreDarling?

There's a blue one and a green one. And a couple of oils too.

I love a leg sheen @whattodoforthebest2! What's the scent like? I find some of S&G stuff quite heavily scented.

I use the green one, the blue is an intense one and good for very dry skin or if you have eczema but I find it a little heavy and greasy. Not tried their oils though

I use coconut butter. It’s cheap and you only only need a tiny bit.

Lots more lovely sounding moisturisers. Thank you all so, so much. I'm making a list. It feels really good to have things to look forward to just for me.

I have bottles of Nivea blue, in the pump form, all over the house, but my treat for quick application after showering is Elizabeth Arden 8 hr daily hydrating body lotion. It's a large bottle at 380ml for £17. It's got a very slight lemon scent, and lasts about a year, so I think that's really good value.

Everything in the Superdrug Vitamin E range works so much better than the price point would suggest.

I recently bought the Garnier vitamin E cream in a green tub. Not sure it's meant to be aloe vera or avocado, but whatever it smells nice and fresh, not a strong scent, and pleasant to use.

If you like rose scent Sanctuary Spa does a rose one - body lotion and a butter that smell heavenly

Boots £10 Tuesday often has Soap and Glory body butters on offer for £10. Cherry is very nice

I love the EOS ones, there’s one called Clean and Cosy or something which has a lovely light scent and my skin feels so soft but not greasy.

Aveeno.

I tried Superdrug vitamin E one in a big tub. Lovely texture, hardly any scent. The pot is cream coloured with burgundy writing. It may have extracts of some berry too. Only downside was getting the last bit out.
