What's your favorite heavy-duty body moisturizer?

[KittySkyfish]

Now that winter is here, 'tis the season for itchy, dry skin. My favorite rich body lotions are Curel's Ultra Healing Moisturizing Lotion for the worst problems and Curel's Restore and Revive Lotion for all-over smoothing. I love them both because they hydrate all day long and my shins are itch-free. Good stuff!

I like palmer's cocoa butter formula, Banana boat after sun lotion (it has aloe, i like it all year round) and Hempz is nice too.

I don't have problems with dryness, since my body is normal every season of the year but I love Body Shop's Body Butters! They have plenty for dry and very dry skins, I use to use Shea Body Butter but it was very heavy for my skin so I think it would be great for your dry skin along with Cocoa Butter.

I dont really have a heavy duty body moisturiser but i'm thinking i should have one especially to use during winter. Gonna keep an eye on this thread for all the recs!

I actually have really dry and itchy skin right now (dang this Canadian winters!!!:icon_roll) so I'll keep my eyes on this thread too. I'm using Aveeno at the moment. Have used Keri and Eucerin before but the didn't really help much They're just ok for normal skin I think...

Curel is great as well as Aveeno Moisturizing Oil. I also use the baby Aveeno with the lavender scent.

I use Oil of Olay Moisturinse In Shower Body Lotion or Caress's Glowing Touch In Shower Body Lotion. If necessary, I use Aveeno for extra moisturing.

 

[Amethyst]

If I need an ultra thick lotion I use Jacqua's Chocolate Marshmallow or Buttercream Frosting Body Butter or Origin's Chocolate Body Butter.

Both of those are super thick and smell dee-lish-shus.

Takes forever to dry though and it ain't easy putting on your jeans afterwards!

Aveeno Daily Moisturising and raw shea butter

I've just never been big on applying lotion. I don't like the way it feels to be honest. That's why I prefer my in shower body lotion!!

 

[LipglossQueen]

I love TBS Shea Butter, and a cheaper alternative is Palmers Cocoa Butter (in the tub), I'm thinking of trying a homemade body butter with 100% Shea Butter and maybe a bit of olive oil and vitamin E.

 

[Cirean]

Nivea cream (in the blue jar) for really dry spots or "chicken skin". Nivea Firming lotion for a regular everyday moisturizer. None of Nivea's products give me rashes while everything else I've tried does.

 

[dixiewolf]

I use Suave Advanced Therapy or Gold Bond Ultimate Healing (this doesnt have the smell or tingling sensation normal Gold Bond has). My skin feels really tight and itchy if I dont use lotion after a shower, most lotions dont moisturize enough or leave me greasy, which is why I like these lotions.

 

[bocagirl]

The Body Shop's Shea, Mango, Cocoa, Nut and Coconut Body Butters are my fave for dry skin.

 

[bunni]

i use suave vitamin E lotion, then i use body butter on top after a while, my skin is soft all day!!!

on some days i use nivea enriched lotion, its the best!

 

[elljmz]

I use Cetaphil in the big tub. Works wonders on my extremely dry skin.

 

[canelita]

I use Eucerin Dry skin moisturizing therapy and is the only one that calms the itchiness

 

[Gwendela]

It's an after tanning moisturizer called 'She's the Cat's Pajamas', and it makes my skin so soft.

 

[bronze_chiqz]

i agree with eleinys. Eucerin body lotion Intensive for extra dry skin, is the only one dat works for me.I have a very very dry skin..tried many many body lotions but this is the best so far..! it moisturizes the whole day till i went to bed...!imagine!!

 

[coconut_cutie]

I'm lucky that i never get really dry body skin, but every now and again i use the body shop cocoa butter to really moisturise my skin, also i'l scrub beforehand with Buffy from Lush in the shower. My skin is soooo soft the next day!:icon_lol:
