Which body moisturising cream do you use?

esperanza

After showering, I use Nivea Body Milk, keeps my skin very firm, and is not that expensive. What do you use?

My favourite is Palmers Cocoa Butter. But I use Nivea, Dove or a baby oil spray as well.
I also find Aldi stuff dead cheap and really nice to use. I always go back to Palmers though!

Piste

I swear by the Vaseline Intensive Care Moisture, it's not expensive and it really works so well to keep skin soft.

Molton Brown ultrasmooth coco der mer body lotion it does great as a hand cream too

I have really sensitive skin so I use aqueous cream. Really cheap and its the best moisturiser. Skin feels lovely and soft

I use Nivea too and find it great plus I adore the clean smell.

Also I find after you've shaved your legs a good tip is to just pat dry and then rub in some baby oil - this keeps your legs smooth for ages and the hairs don't grow back so quickly and they also grow back finer.

I love the smell of Body Shop Body Butter but come out in little red spots whenever I use it.

Bacon fat. Has the added benefit of making dogs and cats follow you around like the Pied Piper.

Anything really, atm I'm using Body Shop Coconut Butter. I love it, but it's starting to run out now and the shops out of them, bugger!

yeah I use the Palmers also and 'dream cream@ from lush - it smells divine!!!!:)

Clarins body lotion also.:)

there is a lovely one from REN called grapefruit, but it's dear but is makes skin so soft.:)

Also, I have at last found a cream to cure the bumps on the top of your arms - after going through everything including prescription things, chinese medicine things, the only cream that works is Neem cream from the health shop. Neem is a natural Indian herb. Whack that cream on every night and those bumps bump away.

I use Garnier Body Repair. My skin is really dry and this stuff is absolutely brilliant. Only decided to try it cos it was on special offer in Boots. Lovely smell too.

Do you mean those red spotty bumps? Apparently they can be a sign of a Vitamin A deficiency. My friend suffered with them for years and tried everything - eventually a change in diet and some vitamin enriched creams worked.

I use Lancome Caresse Body Moisturiser for Extra Dry Skin. It's a little on the expensive side but now I can use nothing else. It smells divine and gives me really soft glowing skin.

Yes, those bumps are a sign that something in your diet isn't quite right. The doctor told me they are a slight from of execema (spelling?) which could be caused by allergies etc. The sun also helps clear them up, but I have found Neem Cream to be the business.
