Body lotion for DRY skin

This cold winter weather has my skin suffering! Does anyone have any suggestions for a good body lotion for really dry skin? I'd prefer something natural because I already have to place an order to vitacost.com, but I'm open to all suggestions. Thanks!

I would say try using Shea Butter,or Mango Butter.I hear it works well for the skin. Also I heard this is a good body lotion as well...

Hope this helps!

i've been using a combo of coconut oil and cetaphil body lotion....together, they work WONDERS for my dry, winter skin. I use it at night, right after my shower before I go to sleep since its kind of heavy, but it keeps my skin hydrated all day long!

I dont use shea butter only cuz i cant stand the smell of it!!

My skin got so dry this winter that it hurt! I am now using some homemade whipped shea and my skin feels a lot better.
I am using pure shea on my face and it's doing better than my skin-I only use it on my face at night.

Almond oil is good also.

Cetaphil is great for dry skin. I have been using in on my daughter that has eczema for about 4 years and it has really limited her breakouts. Since it has been so cold this year I have been mixing it with almond oil and it has really seemed to help. When she wakes up in the morning her skin still feels moisturized and no ash. Also almond oil and shea butter works well together.

YOU HAVE TO TRY Kiehl's Creme de Corps, the best lotion I have ever trieds... HANDS DOWN!!!! And all of their products are natural as well... I work at the Nordstrom MAC counter and everyday I literally come to work ashy just so I can use the Kiehl's counter lotion... I have my own bottle, but I wanna use theirs since I am there.... Check your department stores. I know here in Atlanta we have a Kiehl's store... At least go try it on, you will see. It treats your skin overtime, swear...

Not sure if you have Soap & Glory in the US but I was bought some for Christmas and its lovely - non greasy nad has rosehip seed oil and cocoa butter. it smells lovely.

I also have the hand cream (hand food) and thats brilliant too.

i had problems towards the beginning of winter with retaining moisture. however, i've found the perfect skin care regimen for me. immediately after i get out of the shower while still wet, i apply coconut oil. after the oil has absorbed, i then use raw shea butter. it leaves my skin sooo smooth and soft. i can never stop touching myself lol. also, it'll make a huge difference if the oil and butter are raw/unrefined/virgin/etc. hope this helps, good luck!

I have dry skin with a little bit of exzema - raw shea butter has been a GODsend. I am going to get some coconut oil to try because I am hearing alot of good things about it.

In the winter time I use Carol's Daughter Almond Cookie Souffle. Since I use it so much, my bf says it's my signature scent and he loves it. I apply right after I shower to lock in moisture.

This is kinda late...but I like Gold Bond Aloe Lotion (very thick), that is if you want something quick from Walmart, Target, CVS, etc. I love Cetaphil for my daughter as well because of her eczema. She's unable to use anything else
