FYI - frequent hot showers will seriously dry out your skin. If you take hot showers, throttle back to warm water and it will help.

I also like Dove body wash. Just don't buy the pistachio scented one. It's really thick and goopy for some reason. I haven't had that problem with the other scents I have tried, and I know it is at least somewhat moisturizing because the body washes I was using before left my skin really dry and itchy.

The magnolia and pistachio cream scent is actually what I use.  I haven't used the other varieties, so I figured it all the others Dove scents were like that as well.  I love that it is thick and creamy...and it just smells soooo good! 

I woke up in between a memory and a dream...

Dove body wash unscented for sensitive skin. Recommended by my dermatologist for eczema. Works great. I also use Cetaphil lotion after my shower.

Another vote for Dove (Extra Moisture is the formula I use)...

I have sensitive skin and really like Costco's Kirkland body wash in the orange container. It has a slight orange/citrus smell and seems to moisturize well without leaving behind a film. It's not slimy feeling either.

I installed filter in the shower to limit chlorine...plus i use only natural ~ no SLS body washes ...i almost never have to use lotion on my body. "Kiss my face", "Jason" are some brands i use. Natural soap ~goat milk + oatmeal...works great. 

Making sure i eat enough fat helps also.

I was going to second the idea of making sure you have enough of the healthy fats in your diet. I found an avocado once to twice a week did a lot to help with my dry skin

Averno active naturals.  Positively nourishing hydrating body wash. Fig+Shea butter moisturizes for softer healthier-looking skin.   Sold at Walmart for $8.
