What's your favorite heavy-duty body moisturizer?

Use La Roche Posay. I just pulled this off my review:

This lotion does wonders for dry skin. I live in a very dry environment and it can get below freezing! So this helps alot when I get dry skin. I remember when I first tried it. I borrowed some from a friend who was using it for his eczema and I massaged the lotion onto my feet and they were instantly moisturized!

Pros: It can also be used for eczema.

Cons: The only problem I have with this is that its a little oily so you have to use a very small amount and really massage it in to the skin.

It really isn't that oily but it works so well you don't have to use a lot. THe problem La Roche Posay won't sell it to you. They will only sell it to Doctors, but you can find them on websites or at Doctor's offices.

I have not checked the pharmacies (because I only got them online or through my boyfriend's mom, who is a doctor) so you could check that out if you want.

Olive oil and sometimes aloe vera.

I've tried everything on the market and EVOO is just as good as anything else plus you don't have to work out just to rub on the thick heavy creams.

Thanks for the help. I need a new lotion.

I use and luv Johnson's (Baby) nourishing milk lotion. It contains glycerin and mineral oil. It doesn't leave your skin feeling oily . I do mammograms and I wash my hands before and after every patient. If I didn't use this lotion my hands would be cracked and dry and very painful!! And another little added BONUS ..........since I started using this the nubs on my legs don't grow as fast. SO I don't have to shave as often!!!!
