Body Wash and Moisturizer Recommendations

My husband can't stand the feeling of most moisturizers, but his skin is starting to crack from dryness as we head into winter. I'm thinking maybe an ultra-moisturizing body wash is the answer. Right now I'm looking at the Sol de Janeiro 4 Play body wash, but I want to do my homework first to make sure I'm buying my best option. What is your favorite moisturizer for dry skin? Also if anyone knows any great moisturizers for people who hate moisturizers, I am open to those recommendations also. 😅

RE: Body Wash and Moisturizer Recommendations

I’m going to take a guess and say your husband won’t like the SDJ shower gel because it is so heavily scented. It may even irritate his skin if he’s having dryness and breakage. I usually hate Bath and Body Works but they make this hyaluronic acid body wash that is amazing. It’s what I buy for my husband because it’s very lightly scented and unisex. I also buy him L’occitane hand cream, which he loves, but can’t really get him to use actual lotion.

RE: Body Wash and Moisturizer Recommendations

maybe look for a shower oil or shower cream rather than a shower gel. the almond shower oil from l’occitane is one of my faves. also an in-shower moisturizer (like ro’s argan from lush) may be worth looking into

@ADawnPhelps Aveeno body wash is great for dry skin 

Re: Body Wash and Moisturizer Recommendations

@ADawnPhelps Target makes a good knock-off of the Aveeno, which I really like 🙂

@ADawnPhelps  The Sol de Janeiro body wash isn't moisturizing IMO. The only body wash I've used that I actually considered moisturizing is Lush It's Raining Men, and it looks like it's not available anymore 😞 As far as moisturizer, has he tried just regular old baby oil? What is it about moisturizer that he doesn't like?

He has ASD and sometimes struggles with textures and the way things feel on him. He says he feels like moisturizers are greasy and all they do is make him greasy. I've tried lots of moisturizers and kinds of moisturizers but he hasn't really liked anything. I once made him use Kiehl's Midnight Concentrate on his face because the skin was flaking, and he said that was the least annoying moisturizer he's ever tried.

@ADawnPhelps  One moisturizer that I used to love was Jack Black Extra Rich Body Hydrator. It absorbed pretty quickly. The only reason I stopped using is was because I got tired of not being able to use the whole bottle. There was always product at the bottom that I could never get out, and I moved on after using it for a couple years. The body wash that goes with it was my favorite too, I used it for so many years. It didn't dry out or irritate my skin, but I went through it so quick because others in my house loved it too.
