I know the bath products thread comes up every now and again, so I just
gotta ask:

What's the most moisturizing body wash out there? I'm in desperate need
here. My usual just isn't cutting it for the moment. :) (Jason Natural
Cosmetics Satin Body Wash in Apricot).

I've tried:

Dove Nutrium (dismal failure)
Olay for dry skin (worse than the dove!)
Olay for normal skin (getting close. Better than the dry skin formula).

Toodles,

Nivea Visage Gentle Moisturizing Cleanser.

Note this is a soap free cleanser- no suds- but it is miraculous.

I used to get EXTREMELY dry skin all over, but since I switched to Body
Shop bath bars, I don't really have any problem with it like I used to.
(there are always those few days in winter I have to lotion up
everything, when it's 5 outside, hellish 30mph wind and the humidity is
under 30%, but normal times it's not an issue)

They come in wonderful scents and aren't all that expensive - a single
bar lasts the two of us for *months*, which really works out to be
cheaper than a lot of other body cleansers.

If you've got a BS near you, try one out. It's (thankfully) one of the
few scented bath products I have found that doesn't give me hives. Yay!

ShiKai shower gels and
Kiss My Face Olive and Aloe bar soaps are
nice and mild.

I'm currently using Dial moisturising body wash and it seems to keep
my skin soft (and it smells good), although I always use lotion also.

Wow-my first suggestion was going to be Oil of Olay. That stuff works
great for me, but every person's skin is different.
I agree with Nivea, esp. if their body wash is anything like their
lotions!

Dunno if this is in America, but the best I found is E45 bath/shower cream.
Totally soap free, hypoallergenic etc.

May I just say, I really like how you have separated your
sentences and thoughts into paragraphs? Having the space
between makes it easier to read. Thank you. =)

>snippity everyone's great advice!<

i use Aveeno's body wash- it is pure goodness in a bottle. my skin
gets so dry (no matter what the season!) that it actually burns and
stings, sometimes cracking and bleeding even. ugh. i blame all my
recent skin oddities on being on the pill. but that's a small price
to pay, IMHO. anyhoo (rambling!), Aveeno is great stuff. it's made
from collodial oatmeal and leaves your skin not just feeling smooth,
but it is almost therapeutic in that it heals the cracking and sooths
all the itchy parts. i'm sure everyone has heard of or used their
bath soaks, and the new line of body and skin care is just as nice.
no colors, fragrances, etc. i've also used the bar form, but it
doesn't last as long as the wash. i think they make shower oil as
well. i use the lotion too, but it is a bit too heavy feeling on my
skin in the warmer months.

i'm also a big fan of Kiss My Face olive oil bar soaps as someone
mentioned in a previous message. the olive oil and chammomile smells
soooo pretty and moisturizes quite well, although not as much as the
Aveeno. i use it on days when i know it is going to be humid and i'm
going to sweat like a fiend. days when i can't go without
moisturizing, but when *too* much just makes you feel sticky. my
husband is amazed by the variety of soaps i have for certain weather
and occasions, lol! anyhoo- between these two, my skin has made a
HUGE turnaround in the past year! (except for those darn little
wrinklies in the corners of my eyes. grrr...)

hth!
-roquelaure, oh Aveeno, i love you so!

<snipped, lots of great suggestions>

Thanks tons, everyone. I've deffinatly got a starting place now,
starting with the non-soap washes. I assume these are still foaming, but
are of the non-SLS (sodium laurel/laureth sulfate) types?

As for the Kiss My Face Olive oil and <x> soaps, my hubby regularly uses
the olive oil and aloe and alas, it's not quite enough for me. I gave it
an honest try. It's -great- when my skin isn't acting as bad as it is,
which will hopefully go back to normal after I pop. :)

Toodles,
