Dry skin on legs........Help!

I use Bodyshop's Almond Milk and Honey cream, and it completely subdues my itchy leg skin for weeks at a time.

Thank you everyone for all the helpful advice

Late to the party but another vote for Aveeno

Bio oil or Bio oil Gel. Great for putting on dry skin.

I use body butter every day after my shower all year round, on my legs and my arms.
I use Aveeno on my face.

Definitely Aveeno, works well for me.

Interesting
Comments regarding daily showers. If I showered daily my skin would be like a lizard. I do not smell! I wash all relevant bits on the days I do not shower. If daily shower fans have any care for the environment they will have to change their ways. Anything that heats water (and the delivery of the water) uses a lot of power and thus contributes to our global warming emergency. Also it is difficult to moisturise without adding to the mountains of plastic being produced and most of them contain palm oil. No one who considers themselves ethical should be showering every day.

I'm with you rubysong and don't shower every day for the same reason that my skin is so dry. A good old wash at the sink keeps me clean and sweet smelling on the other days. So well done for coming clean about your hygiene routine (see what I did there?)

Mine are similar, like some sort of prehistoric scaly lizard unless I exfoliate regularly. I don’t use potions, a pumice stone with a warm soapy lather works well, and just lately I’ve found that the mini loofah things sold by Lakeland - supposedly for cleaning! - are also very good. (And cheap!)
Always a soak in the bath first. And plenty of moisturiser after absolutely every bath or shower. I usually use Vaseline Intensive Care.

The skin on my legs looks like an old, dried-up leather glove! There's sun damage from my youth as well as the ravages of age. Almost any moisturiser can make it look better and feel more comfortable temporarily. Aveeno is the best I have tried but I also use a simple aqueous cream just for variety. When I feel luxurious, there's nothing like Liz Earle's Botanical body lotion. Soon it will (hopefully) be time for fake tan and sandals!

Vaseline also a Cocoa Intensive Care Radiant moisturiser from a spray can.
Many might object to a spray can, but it is convenient.
Leaves a light sheen on bare legs and I like it for summer days.
On offer at Superdrug this week, 50% off so £3.23.

Firstly, I refuse to use shower products that are detergent based as opposed to natural ingredients, as these can strip the natural oils out of the skin further. I also suffer with dry flakey skin, and use Zerobase Emolent Cream in the pump bottle which my GP prescribed for.me, you can also buy it from any good pharmacy.
I tried several before settling for Zerobase, but I found that some of them had the consistency of Vaseline and just sat on the surface of my skin and never got absorbed properly,leaving a Greasy mess!

Coconut oil is great, pure and you can also find organic coconut oil.

I see a certain shop is bringing in an Avocado body butter, they did it 20 years ago and it was wonderful for dry skin. At the risk of smelling like a salad, rub the inside of avocado skin on your legs - so soothing.
