Body Wash
This list of body washes will have you squeaky clean along with feeling the softness of your skin before you apply any type of moisturizer.
I use this soap daily. It does dry your skin, but you will feel extremely clean afterwards. Just to ensure to follow up with a moisturizer soap and a really good lotion or Vaseline.

Skin Moisturizers
From the classic Vaseline to the Palmers, these moisturizers will help your dry skin. I used these products when I was pregnant to even minimize the amount of stretches afterwards.
You make think this a farfetched recommendation, but I swear by Vaseline as a baseline before adding your lotions and perfumes. Not only will it lock the moisture in your skin but it layers well with other smell goods.

Perfumes, Oils, Body Sprays
My favorite list of inexpensive and expensive types of smell goods. These perfumes will have you smelling rich and receiving compliments every time you walk by.
