Hi, lately I've noticed that my skin is excessively DRY!, and

I have been really unatended to moisturizing my skin

, I take showers with really warm water (everyday!) and I know that dries my skin, but on top of that I dont have a good lotion that would hydrate and make my skin soft and a give it a moisturized touch. I'm scared of this since my skin is literally cracking (or so it seems like it), and I'm terrified of getting strethmarks (due to dryness) which I started seeing already. I live close to cvs, rite aid, kmart, beauty supplies, so please tell me about a good lotion I can buy that WILL (not may) give me a nice long lasting moisturized feeling?

Thanx in advance to those who answer

Eucerin is a really good lotion, its recommended by dermatologists. I just started using it and can definately tell its different from most of the other lotions because it gives your skin a shine (not caused by little glitter sparkles) and it definately feels thicker (not supposed to sound bad). If you have really dry skin I would try that, it doesnt have a scent though. Nivea's enriched lotion is somewhat the same and has a scent but I think Eucerin is better as far as moisturization goes.

Have you ever tried Moisturizing Body Oil (Cocoa Butter Formula) by Palmer's? I thought that a body oil would be too oily for me, but this one is light and fast absorbing. LOVE IT!

When I take a shower I rub it into my skin while still wet and before drying off.

I am not sure who all carries it, but I have gotten it at both Ulta and Drug Emporium.
