    Palmer's Cocoa Butter Skin Therapy Oil after a shower, then pat dry -- especially when it's cold out. I also use their face oil in the morning. Plus I use Vaseline Cocoa Butter lotion in the morning and before bed on my extremities (Suave makes a similar lotion that's good too, and cheaper).

    When you get past a certain age, everything starts drying out and your skin feels terrible if you don't keep it adequately moisturized. Note that I'm the only man admitting to moisturizing -- I bet there are others out there moisturizing but they're too chicken to own up to it!

    Alba botanical very emollient body lotion. Found it at target. Unscentrd original really is unscented. Loads of natural oils and extracts. Absorbs fast. Not greasy. 100% vegetarian. No animal testing. Artificial colors, parabens. Phthalates, sodium laurel/laureth sulfate or sodium myreth sulfate.

    My husband uses moisturiser ever day too - he's a fan of sorbolene lotion.

    CeraVa is the best..has a patented formula that locks in moisture .. you put it on right after your shower. My husbands Derm reccomened it to him for his dry skin and Dr. said it was the best cream out there...and it is! Walgreens.

    Another vote for CeraVe. Unscented, not greasy, makes my skin stay moisturized. It's the best. Not expensive either. I use it on my face, and can use it on my whole body without worrying about cost.

    TrueLipids. I use it on my face and its ingredients create a safe environment for skin to heal. I used to have a red oily face all the time and now my face is normal.

    This thread motivated me to go out and seriously look at lotions (cocoa butter), it was always whatever was available and I never really felt moisturized. The other day, I picked up Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant. Found it on sale; $4 was reasonable to give it a shot. I use it once a day (right after drying off from a shower), not feeling the need to reapply. It smells A-MA-ZING!

    When my skin gets very dry in the winter, I use Nivea in shower lotion.

    Ooh. I like the look of that. My skin does get very dry, but I dislike the stickiness of normal body lotion.

    Cocoa butter is my favorite. A coworker of mine recommended the Nevia in shower lotion to me yesterday but I haven't tried it yet.

    Because I have a dry skin issue, I personally use Jergens Shea butter daily. Works for me.

    This reminds me I need to see if Elemis brought back that limited edition body oil that was amazing from a deal a few years ago. Miss that stuff.

    Otherwise I use Amlactin for my KP, brilliant stuff. Has a chemically smell when you apply it but it disappears quickly. If I'm feeling fancy and have some, I'll do the fragrance layering thing and use a body lotion after that matches my perfume (usually one of the Philosophy Grace range). If anyone is feeling generous I'd like to upgrade to Jo Malone ;)

    But unlike my face I'm not over fussed about my body, other than the KP I don't have body skin issues so as long as it smells nice and absorbs quickly I'm good. I'm also lazy so don't apply every day, even though I should really with the Amlactin (my legs are not happy with winter and stress).

    I mainly use a lotion made by Body Time (a local shop that does mail order) that includes Vitamins A, D & E w/a mineral oil base, which is called predictably the "A, D & E Moisturizer." Great general lotion and particularly useful for healing sunburn. See: http://www.bodytime.com/vitamins-a-d-e-moisturizer.html

    Vitamin A (aka retinol) is used in serums and other lotions as a wrinkle remedy. I just starting trying some other retinol based products to see if they can left eliminate some loose lower ab skin that's left over from losing weight. Will let y'all know if I see any results doing this or not.

    Don't get me started on facial beauty products, we'll be here for weeks. I've started something of a cult for one particular AHA treatment amongst Facebook friends!

    I can't use anything on my face. I get rashy so easily. I've tried so many different things. I have very sensitive skin there that's prone to wanting to break out if I'm not meticulous in my routine. I'm crazy about changing out pillow cases and wash cloths and use the oil cleansing method. So far, this is what I've found to work best for me after trying so many different things for years.

    I mix oil (argan, camellia, coconut) into my shower gel.
