My legs are crazy dry

Like worse than ever.

What do you use for body lotion? I've been using body oil post-shower, but it seems like the problem has gotten worse now that freezing temps have settled in, and the oil isn't cutting it. I've been rubbing hand cream all over my shins this morning.

I have very dry skin and have always had luck with Cetaphil moisturizer (the lotion for body, cream for hands).

I use coconut oil on my legs

I have had a lot of problems with dry skin, what my doctor recommended was not to use soap on my arms and legs unless I had actually gotten dirty, which in the winter may be only after a hard work out. Also, not showering every day.

I've been using Nubian Heritage Raw Shea Butter for a few years and it's great. I love the scent and it's super moisturizing.

When my skin gets really dry, I exfoliate with a sugar scrub once a week, use Dove body wash, and follow up with Body Shop coconut body butter when my skin is still damp.

Since I've followed that routine I haven't had any issues.

I've tried all of the lotions and oils mentioned here (minus the Nubian one) and the above was the only combination that worked for me.
