Body Lotion.....

SheilsBabe · BCBG

I've been using St. Ives Whipped Silk. It's pretty good; if I apply it everyday, my legs look and feel smooth and I have pretty dry skin. I'd recommend it as a cheap option.

I use this

and love it. It's Vaseline Intensive Care Healthy Body Complexion. I've used it for the past few years and my skin is so soft.

Rica · Kenneth Cole

I love Nivea Creamy Conditioning Oil. It's the only lotion that can keep my skin soft and supple when I tan so it's pretty awesome stuff. Actually, all Nivea products are awesome.

Tati · Chanel

Curel, love it! I buy two big bottles at Sam's club for a great price. My friend recommended it to me cause she uses it on her son that gets rashes and dry skin.

Grace · Dooney & Bourke

I just love Nivea Soft. That or Aveeno.

Dizzy · Marc Jacobs

I love St. Ives too - it's the only thing tha tkeeps my legs from being scaly - and for some reason I've found that cheaper body lotions usually work better.

For more than ten years now, I've been using the Camille Beckman brand. My favorite scent is the French Vanilla, but the White Lilac is good too.

I started using this lotion back in the day when I worked for Dillard's and they had this stupid rule about women not being able to wear pants (seriously, they only changed this a few years ago) and CB was the only lotion that I could put on after my shower and it wouldn't make my legs feel all icky when I then put on panty hose. It's totally nongreasy and I use it daily - even convinced my husband to use it when his skin feels dry.

For even more strength, try the hand lotion. I use that for hands, my hubby's arms (he gets scaly patches on the back of his arms) and as a foot softener. It's awesome stuff!

It's not always found easily in a lot of places (I used to get it all the time out west - usually from boutique-y type stores - but here in the southeast I have to order it), so here's the web site:

as much as i love kiehl's, i'm not a big fan of their lotions. i have really dry skin so i usually end up bathing in lotion and kiehl's is too costly for that. i really like johnson's baby lotion. not the traditional ones but the 24 hour lotion and the nourishing milk lotion. they smell really good (nice soft scent) and last a long time. they only thing i don't like is sometimes they rub off and leave little pills. i also really like avon lotions esp. the cocoa butter one. great value and very effective.

I have soo many lotions- I use my cheaper ones on a regular basis- the 4 butters kind from bath and body works is nice if you like foodey smells. My favorite ones are pricier though- Archipelago botanicals soy lotion milk (I have a huge lotion- it was $26, but it smells very light and unique) and Lollia Relax hand creme which I use on my legs on occasion. Every once in a while I put hand cream on my legs and put on my jeans

I guess its similar to the feet + lotion + socks advice.
