Non greasy Body Moisturiser

Lately noticed the skin on my arms is looking dry .
Have tried Aveeno Dry Skin Relief Moisturising Lotion but it leaves a sticky residue somehow.
Recommendations please .

My beloved has been happy with this she has been buying in Tesco for some time and I cant say she feels in any way greasy, or worse, sticky when I hold her.

Personally, I always look at the ingredients before I'd buy.
I won't use anything with PEG numbers in, and so many have this ingredient.
Also, people's skins are all different, so what suits one, might not suit another.

I found this to explain a bit more:

" Depending on manufacturing processes, PEGs may be contaminated with measurable amounts of ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane. ... While carcinogenic contaminants are the primary concern, PEG compounds themselves show some evidence of genotoxicity vi,vii and if used on broken skin can cause irritation and systemic toxicity".


Don't take my word for it though, have a look here and make your own mind up. There is lots of information plus a video in this link if anyone wants to read up on it:

I have used Handmade Naturals products for years, including their shampoos and conditioners.

I think anyone sufficiently interested would also be surprised to see the list of chemicals added to most cosmetics and beauty preparations.

Why choose to rub all those chemicals into your body every day if you don't have to?

Currently using an Elemis one from a Christmas set which is just right. I got mine on offer from QVC, so might be worth looking on there.
Otherwise try Lush dream cream.

I don't use it personally Mups but I usually buy it for all my ladies.... Ok, I meant Mrs LDs but birthdays etc. They do a cheaper one at about £27 I think which is also pretty good.
