Skin Cream

My skin is so dry (not my face) and I am so itchy!!! Anyone recommend a nice body lotion that's not greasy?

I used to use good ol' Johnsons Baby Lotion but I am tired of it.....

KIEHLS!!!

I swear by Kiehls products. They are fragrance-free, and made with natural ingredients. They have products for every skin condition. They also offer free samples!! You can get them from their website, kiehls.com, or at Barneys in NYC. They have a lot of products for your face, body, and hair.

If you're looking for something easier to get and less expensive, my favorite lotions are Neutrogena Body Lotion and Jergens Extra Dry skin formula.

I am a beauty product freak, I tell ya!

Re: Skin Cream

I second Kiehls!!! The cream balm/moisturizer is the best (not to mention their LipBalm #1) - I used to suffer from dry skin in the winter and this stuff saved me!! Good luck!!

Body Butter from the Body Shop! They have a couple of different kinds for extra dry skin. I love the mango and the sesame. I've never used anything that's worked as well, ever.

I second Kiehls!!!!

But if you are looking for a body lotion you can pick up at the drug store, try Aveeno or Nivea....
I have very dry itchy skin too and I really like the Aveeno.

I also use coco butter oil and mix it in with the lotion....(it's my own concoction)

I have really dry skin and I use Neutrogena Norwegian Formula (unscented). I put it on right after I shower while my skin is still damp. It works wonders.

Re: Skin Cream

Cetaphil moisturizer is the best!!!!
I have been to 2 dermatologists and they all recommended it above anything else!

Re: Skin Cream-UPDATE

LOL not that you guys really care hehehe, but I stopped in Duane Reade on my way home last night and I must say Aveeno works wonders!!!

I still want to try the expensive cream that was mentioned...at Saks, Barneys??
