Please don't put cum etc down as a typical humorous response.
Thanking you   |

Depends on sensitivities. Body, I really like Aveeno Daily Moisturising Body Lotion. (The Superdrug Vitamin E stuff is good and it's much cheaper, but fragranced which bothers some people)
For face, really depends - Lush do a face wash called something like Super Bland which people recommend, can't speak to myself. Body Shop Aloe Vera range is incredibly inoffensive. Superdrug own brand again worth considering - fragrance potentially an issue but cheap. There's a Neutrogena hyaluronic acid moisturiser which is worth trying if you can get it on sale |

" I have very dry and sensitive skin too OP. I use Aveeno or Cerave moisturiser.
Cerave I've heard good things about. A million years ago I used Cetaphil, too"
I tried it after hearing good things and it works, it's often on offer too. Definitely worth a try. I still use Aveeno but it's nice to change it up and have another option. |

I have very dry, sensitive skin due to an auto immune disease .... nightmare at times.
I can't use most perfumed moisturisers
I use Simple Moisturising Lotion on my face, i use the one with sun protection. Boots used to do a cheaper version but i can't find it now. Simple products are free from perfume.
On my body i use E45 or the cheaper version my GP prescribes ... i prefer E45 though ... neither are perfumed.
I am also able to use most Body Shop moisturisers, they are only lightly perfumed. |

Thankyou all for your quick and kind responses. I think aveeno I will try and maybe the body shop. Where do I get aveeno from ? Is there a certain type or is it just one name type of thing. |

The 500ml bottle seems to be pretty expensive in most retail shops so I order it from Amazon as they do it cheaper |

I suffer with dry skin and eczema. I swear by E45.
No scent so doesn’t make you smell funky.
I also use oilatum in my bath.
Use an emollient. It locks in moisture.
Hope
This helps. X |

I’ve started using Lyon’s Leaf calendula and marshmallow balm. It’s v expensive but lasts ages and so far so good. The texture of my skin has improved a lot although still dry and itchy at times. I’ve found there’s a lot of trial and error with dry skin conditions  |

"Another vote for palmers cocoa. It's thick. And smells good too. "
I used that and Bio Oil on scars from operations, i used them as soon as the scars started to heal. Both were very good  |

For the body I recommend Golden Jojoba Oil. I love it. Although I use it at night as it’s very oily.
I have sensitive skin that is prone to redness and hormonal changes(thanks to ageing and the perimenopause!) so for the face I am currently road testing Dermalogica products. |

If your skin is very dry and sensitive then there's a possibility of a underlying problem, sensitive skin is usually associated with psoriasis or eczema etc, this can be deep in the tissue and doesn't present itself as the typical scaling you associate with forms of skin problems, I would start with liquid paraffin from the chemist, and no not the stuff you put in a old heater, it's normally used to treat burns where the skin needs help to heal, |

The winter months are always a pain with my psoriasis. I have prescribed topical creams. But for inbetween I use e45 cream, palmers cocoa butter, body shop avacado butter is really good but a tad expensive. Face wise I’ll only use e45 face wash cream. X |

For psoriasis ask your doctor to prescribe enstilar foam spray, it's a topical foam steroid that is a lot better at calming down scaling, and it will take down the redness, it's lots better than dovobet or similar ointments, it will make a massive difference |
