All-Season Hydration: Best Body Washes for Dry Skin!
30
items That “squeaky clean” feeling after using body wash or bar soap isn’t the sign of a thorough cleanse—it’s a cry for help. Your skin is trying to let you know that you inadvertently decimated your moisture barrier, stripped your natural oils, and left ...
The unique texture of this body wash is rich like a cream, but bouncy like a gel, combining the best qualities of both types of formulas. Like a gel, it created a luxurious lather, with a little bit of product going a long way, that left our skin fee...
Mega-C Body Wash - Alo Yoga
It’s rare to find a body wash in this category that’s simultaneously luxurious and affordable, but this Olay product fits the bill on both fronts. The creamy formula lathered very, very well and rinsed off perfectly, leaving our skin feeling soft and...
Olay : Body Wash | Shower Gel - Target
What drew me in at first was how cool and clean the glass bottle looked with just a swoopy, rainbow design and no text-filled label. Gels can be stripping on my already hopelessly dry skin, but this is so highly concentrated, I only need a few pumps ...
Bathing Culture - Organic Mind + Body Wash
This formula is so thick and creamy that it was occasionally a challenge to dispense it from the tube—that’s due to the high concentration of shea butter (the first ingredient listed on the packaging). This makes this body wash best for those with ve...
Moisturizing Butter Cream Body Wash - Non-Stripping with Shea ...
This is a great choice for those with dry skin prone to sensitivity, including those with eczema and psoriasis, because of the oat extracts in the formula. Oats are naturally soothing (that’s why you’ll find them in bath formulas made for those suffe...
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Wash, Sensitive
This formula blends both cocoa and shea butters—both ultra-nourishing ingredients—with soothing purslane extract and hydrating marshmallow root extract, making it a good choice for someone with exceptionally dry skin. It also does a great job at wash...
Egyptian CocoShea Body Wash - Buttah Skin | Ulta Beauty
It can be a challenge to find a formula that suits both dry and acne-prone skin, as many of the most effective moisturizers can weigh down or congest the skin. This formula uses ceramides, a lipid naturally found in our skin, to keep it nourished and...
CeraVe Moisturizing Body Wash for Dry Skin
This formula offers a 24-hour dryness relief claim that makes this a nice option for someone that has normal to dry skin. I wouldn’t say it was intensely nourishing, but it offers enough hydration and moisture (courtesy of glycerin, shea, and avocado...
Cetaphil Moisturizing Body Wash for Sensitive
The scent of this body wash is gender-neutral but strong, so you should definitely be a fan of fragranced products if you try this one. The essential oils not only add an aroma, but offer functional benefits. Lavender works to soothe, eucalyptus help...
Conditioning Body Wash - Dermalogica - Ulta Beauty
I would recommend this to anyone with dry skin, especially if they’re prone to itchiness or redness, including in winter. The stearic acid in the formula contributes to the “film” left behind on the skin, which isn’t greasy or anything when touching yo...
Dove Nourishing Body Wash
This body wash is remarkably mild and gentle—i knew that whenever my skin was irritated, this formula would help calm it down (and it always did). If you have eczema or other skin issues that result in redness, irritation, and sensitivity, give this ...
Soothing Body Wash - Eczema Honey | Ulta Beauty
The ingredients in this body wash are perfect for those with dry skin. Soothing and hydrating oat are blended with moisturizing milk and jojoba oil, the latter of which mimics our skin’s natural oils to leave it feeling nourished rather than greasy. ...
elemis - Enriching Shower Cream, 10.1 Fl Oz
This is a great mild cleanser for anyone prone to irritation, flakiness, or dryness. The formula is very simple; the moisturizing properties come courtesy of fatty acids found in soybean and castor oils. Because there’s no scent whatsoever, it’s an i...
Eucerin Skin Calming Body Wash for Dry Skin
Beyond being a nice choice for someone who prefers a mild scent, this is a great formula for someone dealing with a lot of dryness and irritation. Two of the ingredients you’ll find in this body wash are niacinamide and centella asiatica, both of whi...
fresh Milk Body Cleanser - Sephora
In addition to someone looking for major suds (which can be hard to come by when seeking out a body wash for dry skin), this formula is great for someone with easily irritated or sensitive skin. Like most of our favorite La Roche Posay products, this...
La Roche-Posay Lipikar Wash AP+ Gentle Foaming Moisturizing ...
This body cleansing oil is similar to a traditional, post-shower body oil you’d use to douse skin with intensely hydrating ingredients, so those looking to pamper themselves every time they hop in the shower (or reserve it for cleansing ahead of spec...
Cleansing And Softening Shower Oil With Almond Oil - L'Occitane
The Glow Getter is silky and lightweight, lathers quite well despite being oil-based, and never leaves any trace of greasiness after my shower. It’s formulated with a blend of linoleic-rich oils, which is major for those of us with dry skin. It also ...
Naturium The Glow Getter Multi-oil Hydrating Body Wash - 16.9 Fl Oz
The Gleanser from dermatologist-developed brand Prequel is just $18, and the non-stripping gel is considered safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin and those with mild skin conditions, such as eczema and rosacea. (The formula is approved b...
Prequel Skin Gleanser, Glycerin Face Wash
SheaMoisture is another great drugstore buy. It has a cheap price tag but good ingredients. It relies on shea butter, hence the name, to do most of the moisturizing, and it doesn't feel too thick or leave any sort of residue. It has a nice smell, but...
Raw Shea Butter Hydrating Body Wash - SheaMoisture | Ulta Beauty
Kiehl's famous Creme de Corps moisturizer has been reimagined for inside the shower in the form of this oil-to-foam cleanser. It comes out of the bottle feeling like an oil, but it works up a light lather as you use it. This is essentially how it fee...
Kiehl's Creme de Corps Body Cleanser
When it comes to upgrading shower products, Molton Brown is king. The British body-care brand makes these very luxe shower gels. You can find Molton Brown products, including this Milk Musk one, in some equally luxe hotels. We found this one particul...
Molton Brown Milk Musk Bath & Shower Gel 10 oz.
Salt & Stone's body wash is just plain good. It's certainly an upgrade from your standard drugstore buy, but it's got a better cost per bottle than some of the fancier ones. This one has a light, pleasant santal and vetiver scent, although there ...
Salt & Stone Antioxidant Body Wash
I mean, having Aesop hand soap is a status symbol at this point. A Brooklyn penthouse, a West Village mansion, and every restaurant in the world these days have Aesop products. But it's not all a facade. The stuff is good. And while the hand soap get...
Amazon.com : Aesop Coriander Seed Body Cleanser
L'Occitane's cream-to-foam is as rich a body wash as you could imagine. (It doubles as a hand wash, too.) The cream formula feels like lotion right out of the bottle and foams a bit as you lather it. It is pricey but also concentrated, so we find tha...
L'Occitane Shea Hands & Body Ultra Rich Wash
If I'm outfitting a whole family with a moisturizing body wash, it's with this gigantic tube of Method. It's made with coconut, rice milk, and shea butter, which give it both moisture and scent. It's not as luxe as some other options, but that's not ...
Method : Body Wash | Shower Gel - Target
This Bioderma jug of shower oil is a staple in my shower during the winter months, and I use it for everything. It comes out like an oil but gets surprisingly soapy when you lather, and you come out of the shower feeling like you've already used loti...
Bioderma Atoderm Cleansing Shower Oil
This cleansing oil is awesome for those with dry, itchy skin like myself. I’m a fan of using this oil during the colder months when my skin needs more intense moisture. It’s fragrance-free, doesn’t leave behind annoying residue, and most importantly,...
Avène XeraCalm A.D Cleansing Oil, Atopic
A powerful combination of star ingredients, like glycerin and panthenol, attract and retain moisture while soothing and softening the skin. Need more proof this is a great find for those with sensitive skin? Lal highlights the fragrance-free formula ...

It combines an ultra-gentle cleansing formula with ingredients that improve skin health, like ceramides, hydrating vitamin B, and niacinamide. It feels slick upon application, but isn’t sticky or irritating. Glamour reviewer Megan Jeffry has very sen...
Odele - 34 Products | Ulta Beauty
The Native body wash has remained a staple in my shower routine for over three years now because it has a soothing gel consistency that creates the perfect amount of lather, it doesn’t feel drying post-wash, and it always comes in fun fragrances that...
