Arm+Legs - Body
i’ve been using this every night before bed, and I’m already seeing results within a week. This exact brand might be local to me, but any 10%-30% urea cream will do the trick
Qrex 20% Cream 50G
Lactic acid is also a great alternative to urea for very dry and flaky skin. I’ve used AmLactin and it exfoliates really well, but consistency is key—you need to apply it daily (1–2 times a day), especially right after showering
Intensive Healing Cream with 15% Lactic Acid AHA - AmLactin | Ulta Beauty
Haven't personally used this but this a great Urea cream - dermatologist approved!
Lipikar Urea 10% Smoothing Body Lotion for Rough, Dry Skin - La Roche-Posay | Ulta Beauty
Another great, dermatologist approved urea cream
UreaRepair 10% Urea Intensive Moisturizing Lotion
A thick, gel-type moisturizer that’s amazing for deep hydration
Dry Skin Gel for Face and Body - Bio-Oil | Ulta Beauty
Cetaphil is my go-to brand for dry, sensitive skin. I use this moisturizing tub on my body and their tubes on my face as well (you can use this tub for your face too)
16.0 oz Hydrating Moisturizing Cream Body Moisturizer - Cetaphil | Ulta Beauty
Love Bath and Body works body butter - so smooth, creamy and hydrating, with the best after scent
Bath & Body Works Body Butter
Hands
Honestly, nothing beats Bath & Body Works moisturizers and creams—my skin always feels so soft after with the best scent
Coco Shea Rich Moisture Hand Cream
Shower Routine
A dry body brush is the perfect first step to get rid of dead, flaky skin. You can find one at almost any local convenience store. It also increases blood circulation and opens pores in lukewarm water !
Firm Dry Body Brush
My favorite body scrub - affordable and has the best scent!
Dove Beauty Exfoliating Body Scrub - Brown Sugar & Coconut Butter - 15oz
A hydrating body wash is MUST! doesn't have to be Dove (but it's my fave), but any brand — I also use bath and body works!
Dove Beauty Deep Moisture Body Wash Nourishes the Driest Skin 24hr Lotion-Soft Skin - 30.6 fl oz
On damp skin, add your urea/lactic acid mosturizer! As an extra step I add a small layer of either the bio-oil gel or my cetaphil mosturizer for extra and locked hydration
