Best body moisturizer for dry skin

For dry, rough skin on the body, Vereme's most effective pick is Eucerin Roughness Relief Lotion, a fragrance-free lotion built around urea. Urea draws water into the outer layer of the skin and supports the skin barrier, and at higher strengths it also loosens rough, flaky buildup, which is why it suits elbows, knees, shins and heels. Dermatologists recommend fragrance-free products for dry skin, and note that creams and ointments hold in more moisture than lotions, so if your skin still feels tight after two weeks of daily use, a thicker cream is the next step. Vereme's data puts first results at about 14 days. Dermatologists also suggest keeping showers to five to ten minutes in warm rather than hot water, and putting moisturizer on while your skin is still damp, which helps it hold in water.
