My face gets enough attention. The rest of me deserves a decent routine too. 😂 Start with a comfortable wash and a moisturizer; add an exfoliant only where rough texture needs it. My longtime favourites sit alongside clearly marked products I’m look...

Rough Texture: Go Gently
Everyday Moisture & Comfort
Choose one cream or lotion for everyday dryness. Fragrance-free options are here too; a lovely scent is only useful if your skin enjoys it.
Three little creams for comparing textures and scents before committing to a full jar. This older limited-edition set is currently unavailable through the linked Sephora page, checked October 8. Skip this link for now; I’m keeping the card as a refer...
Rio Body Cream Trio Set
That warm, sweet scent gets me every time. 😂 The cream absorbs quickly without leaving my skin sticky, and leaves it feeling soft. A scented moisturizer for when I want the whole bathroom to smell lovely.
Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
Thick and creamy, but it absorbs much faster than I expected. I’ve used it morning and night when my skin feels dry, and it leaves it soft without a greasy finish. Fragrance-free, with no irritation or breakouts in my experience. A big tub of comfort...
CeraVe Moisturizing Cream for Dry Skin, 19 Oz
A rich balm with an almond scent that stays pleasant rather than overpowering. For days when a light lotion feels a bit too light.
Almond Delightful Body Balm
For soft skin with a little glow. The almond oil leaves my skin feeling hydrated. An oil option alongside the creams here.
Almond Smoothing and Beautifying Supple Skin Oil
I’m here for the almond scent. 😂 This is the body cream I pick when I want a little pampering.
Almond Milk Concentrate
For the dry patches that need something richer than a light lotion. Pure shea butter is the simple option here.
100 percent Pure Shea Butter
For very dry hands, with a scent I love. A hand balm rather than another whole-body cream.
Shea Butter Intensive Hand Balm
A moisturizer for dry facial skin. This jar is for the face, so keep it separate from the body lotions here.
Pond's, Dry Skin Cream, Facial Moisturizer
Very rich night cream for the face. One to consider when a light moisturizer doesn’t feel like enough.
L'Oreal Age Perfect Cell Renewal Night Cream
Fragrance-free body lotion for everyday dryness. An option for anyone who would rather skip scented creams.
The tan looked natural on me and lasted several days. I liked adjusting the depth with the number of drops. ☀️ These are the Light/Medium body drops, 50 ml. Mix them with your body moisturizer following the bottle’s directions, and wash your hands af...
Exfoliation is optional. Pick one product for rough patches and follow its directions; irritated skin gets a break.
For small patches of rough body texture, rather than another lotion. This is a 7% glycolic acid exfoliant, so follow the label and patch-test first. The brand says to avoid sensitive, peeling or compromised skin. Use sun protection on exposed skin.
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toning Solution | The Ordinary
My tip is to remember the body when looking at this toner. The brand allows it on small rough patches, but 7% glycolic acid deserves some care. Patch-test, follow the directions and skip sensitive, peeling or compromised skin. Sun protection matters ...
