Struggling to find a decent body moisturiser that doesn't leave my skin feeling sticky. Would welcome suggestions.

Vaseline products or a good sun-tan lotion?

I love Aveeno, have dodgy skin so it is good for sensitive types, can't say I have ever felt it too sticky.

E45 Lotion cubagirl. Great for my very reactive skin and contains no fragrance. Boring, but does the job! x

I like Vaseline spray and go as it is no hassle to apply

I would also recommend E45 lotion.

Economical too.

Yes - the E45 lotion is not too bad on the stickiness ratings and has a nice rosewater scent.  It is cheap enough to splash all over. ;D  I hate sticky moisturiser but can tolerate this.

Dermol it great if you have broken skin/eczema type problems - you can wash with it too.

I haven't tried Aveno yet.

I used some Simple night cream on my neck and arms and chest last year - I didn't like it on my face so it was great that it wasn't wasted.

My grandma used to swear by glycerine and rosewater - the chemist used to make it up for her.  It smells lovely, but I used to find it really sticky.

Hi Cubagirl- have you tried Nivea in shower body cream? They do a normal and extra dry version. Slap it on rinse off, skin all soft and not lizard like. - not sticky either.
I think it's great x

I'm another Aveeno fan.

It's about the only thing that doesn't make me itch.

It soaks in well too.

I alternate between that and E 45 although my GP told me to be wary of it as it contains lanolin which some people react to.

Just a case of try them and see what suits.

Read about that one somewhere Margaret. However, couldn't find in local shop, then forgot all about it. Will try again next time I'm in town or online.

Cubagirl - I much prefer moisturisers without chemicals - lord knows we are exposed to them enough without plastering them all over us. This is what I do xx on holiday I use coconut oil as sunscreen and moisturiser. At home I moisturise at night after bath ( if skin is dry ) with maybe olive oil or something a bit lighter. If you need something to dry quickly weleda do a lovely almond milk for the body. I also made my own face moisturiser - it's absolutely beautiful and all organic - so easy to make and worked out very cheap ;)
