Dry skin is a common problem. Some people just suck it up and move on. Others quest for the perfect lotion or soap to make them the softest in the land. There are many products out there that claim they can do what you want them to. Every person varies and so does their skin type.

In my opinion, the very best lotion out there is Bath and Body Works. It comes in many different scents. It goes on smooth. It makes your skin much softer. It sticks with you longer than most lotions. It should considering, less than 7 ounces will usually cost you more than ten dollars. If you are willing to make a small investment in your skin, this is certainly the way to go.

Avon Skin So Soft is a must have to any lotion lover. This lotion has been around for years, and with good reasoning. Skin so soft is just that..soft. As the years have went by, Avon has changed the scents, the bottle, and even the price. The one thing that has not changed is that it gets the job done. It is great for cracked elbows, and feet, and all those spaces in between. Depending on the catalog you order from, it can range from five dollars and up.

The cheapest and most valueable lotion I have found is Suave Cucumber Melon Lotion. You can buy an economy size jug of this at most dollar stores for less than three bucks. I used to work at a convienience store and as you can imagine, I used alot of hand sanatizer. Suave's cucumber melon is the only lotion that I found that worked well with constant sanatizing. It doesn't dry your hands out. There is no greasy residue. The scent wasn't horrible, it was inexpensive, (so you can use it often) and my skin is still in great shape. This is probably my top pick for anyone who is on the go and lotions often.
