Flaky Dry Skin? Get Outta Here!
22
items I swear by double cleansing my body in the shower a few times a week. Getting rid of flaky dry skin isn’t just about adding moisture. You need products that exfoliate and get the dead dry skin off so your hydrating products can work. But maybe you li...

You Gotta Exfoliate First
Exfoliation of the body is as important as exfoliating the face. I try to make sure I do this 2-3x per week. You can use physical exfoliants like scrubs or scrubby towels, but you can also depend on “chemical” exfoliation from AHA, BHA and other acid...
Another great exfoliating bar for the shower. You can use on the face as well for acne etc.
Do NOT use this on the lady bits. While I don’t suspect it will hurt you if you accidentally do it, I wouldn’t sustain use on delicate private parts. They’re...
SOME BY MI AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Cleansing Bar 3.73oz
I used this a lot and would happily buy again (but I love to try new things). Gentle exfoliation for the skin (not the privates). Get the dead skin off so moisture can make its way in. I’ll post the glycolic version too. I personally do NOT use this ...
Naturium - The Energizer Mandelic Acid Body Wash
I've used this a lot and would happily buy again (but I love to try new things). Get the dead skin off so moisture can make its way in. I’ll post the Mandelic version too. I personally do NOT use this on the lady bits. While I don’t suspect it will h...
Naturium The Smoother Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Wash | Ulta
This is my favorite of all the African Net Sponges I have purchased. It's not tied at the ends, but I like how stretchy it is. She has a version for sensitive skin as well, with smaller knots. Please try to make sure you get a real African net sponge...
African Exfoliating Net
I tend to rotate between the Korean body scrubbers and the African net sponges. Both get excellent results. If you have not used something this rough, just be careful the first time. If you have very sensitive skin, just be more cautious of using the...
Tatuo 4-Piece Korean Exfoliating Washcloth
If you prefer more of a “mitt” style scrubber that you slip on your hand, go for these. I just throw them in the washing machine with my towels. I don't dry them, but you could.
Tatuo 10pcs Korean Exfoliating Mitt Scrubber
Tree Hut scrubs are so nice and affordable. I find them at TJ Maxx as well, so check the stores or for sales. Personally, I love the fruity smells.
Tree Hut Raspberry Fizz Sugar Scrub | Ulta Beauty
Love the citrus scent, but I also like that this is made with Epsom salts.
Dr Teal's Salt Scrub with Pure Epsom Salt & Citrus | Ulta Beauty
I am obssessed with the smell of her Find Comfort body care. I have every single item. This always has a home in my shower and does have Kojic acid for exfoliating.
Rare Beauty Find Comfort Gentle Exfoliating Konjac Jelly Body Wash | Sephora
I have done some DIY scrubs and this is a good general recipe. PLEASE use essential oils that are skin-safe, NOT ones specifically marked for things like candles, or home air fragrance.
How To Make a Salt Scrub Recipe
There are a few different scents, but I love Tangerine and Vanilla the most.
JOSIE MARAM Argan Oil + Sugar Balm Refillable Exfoliating Body Scrub - Topless Tangerine | Sephora
I like this product. It has some little microbuffing beads as well as light acids. Bright smell. There is lavender also!
method Exfoliating Body Wash - Notes of Ginger, Cardamom & Cedarwood
I often think Saltair will be overpriced, but it's actually a pretty good value for the size and does a nice job with scrubbing.
Saltair KP Body Scrub With 10% Glycolic Acid
You Gotta Hydrate and Lock in Moisture
This is a unique product. At first I thought someone with oilier skin would not like this but it’s a great product for those moments when you just need some moisture to stay in the skin. It does has some lathering qualities and it has humectant ingre...
Naturium The Glow Getter Multi-Oil Hydrating Body Wash
If you want to smell good while using a nourishing body wash, try this. I also recommended the Naturium oil body wash, but it’s unscented and this SDJ scent is one of my favorites. Try using one of the exfoliating products first or use an African net...
Sol de Janeiro Delicia Drench Shower Oil
The minute I turn off the shower, while still standing in the shower with water on my legs, I take two pumps of this oil onto each calf (which is my dryest skin) and rub it in right over the water. My legs never look dry, even if I don’t put on other...
First Aid Beauty - After-Shower Nourishing Body Oil
If you like the shower cleanser, add the cream
Sol de Janeiro Delicia Drench Body Butter 240mL
Great way to try out the whole kit
Sol de Janeiro Jet Set Travel Shower Kit
I added a few pictures because when you go into TJ Maxx, they have so many great oils for the body. I like the ones that look a bit thinner or have “dry oil” on the label, but I have used some in the shower right after I turn off the water and before...
Everyone Dreamy Lavender Body Oil | TJ Maxx
Honestly, I’m so mad that I love this. I thought “body serum” was some kind of marketing joke, but this really does hydrate and leaves you feeling like you applied skin care over your body.
Uni 24-Hour Hydrating Body Serum | Ulta
I am putting this under moisturizing, as the body can benefit from retinol as well. It's definitely not the same strength as you use on your face, but effective.
Gold Bond Age Renew Retinol Overnight Body & Face Lotion, 13 Oz, Anti-Aging Moisturizer
I love a refillable product. I do like all the scents of her body butter, but vanilla vibez is especially nice and moisturizing.
