I am still obsessing about the skin but in a good way right now- desperate to find 'treats' that work/make a difference/just feel nice.
Here's what's working for me right now (just had a bath so it seems appropriate to post) - and wanted to share:
For tangible and definite improvements - Boots Baby Range:
Softening Oil with Aloe Vera and Vitamin E - I smear (sorry, had to find the most appropriate word!) this on when my skin is wet and it does seem to "lock in" moisture! If I put it on the night before, my skin feels a lot less dry the next day. I'm not sure how available this range is - these are things I found in my cupboard when moving!
For feeling and smelling gorgeous (but looking like a big fat chip so be warned):
Neal's Yard Remedies - Geranium and Orange Body Butter.
This is great for when you've had a hot bath and are happy to lie around in PJs so it can work its magic.
Body Scrub (expensive but gorgeous):
Ren (Clean Skincare) - utterly, utterly gorgeous skincare range but very expensive. This was a birthday present and have just finished it eight months later:
Guerande Salt Exfoliating Body Balm - although it's a scrub, it does hydrate the skin and it feels fabulous after a shower.
Ren also do a fabulous body oil - Monoi Oil - but cost prevents me from buying it. I have, however, found a fabulous alternative -
The Body Shop's Spa Wisdom Range - Monoi Miracle Oil - again utterly gorgeous but very much for those fat chip moments in your life.
I did buy the Dove Firming Cream but I don't LOVE it, to be honest.
I hope these help; something for everyone - from budget to ... not so budget price ranges.
