Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Bar ($3.99 for a 4.5 ounce bar)

My, normally, oily skin recently became extremely dry and sensitive after a severe allergic reaction to another product. Not knowing what to do, I decided to head to my local drugstore and I scanned the shelves looking for a solution. I bought Cetaphil’s bar soap and the Moisturizing Cream (reviewed below). The soap forms a creamy lather and is extremely gentle; it leaves skin clean, yet moisturized. The masking fragrance in this soap is pleasant and not at all overwhelming.
Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream ($11.99 for 16 ounces)

This is by far the most gentle, moisturizing body cream I have ever used. It is fragrance and color free and lubricates the skin without feeling sticky or greasy. Some key ingredients in this product are petrolatum, sweet almond oil, and vitamin E. Although the price may seem a little high, this 16-ounce tub of cream will last and last.
Avon Skin-So-Soft Age-Defying Body Wash ($6 for 8 ounces)

Available in the Renew & Refresh scent, this body wash is thick, creamy, and luxurious. It gently cleanses, leaving skin feeling smooth and moisturized. This scent is very light and pleasant and will not clash with your perfume.

Avon Moisture Therapy Extra Strength Cream ($5.99 for 5.3 ounces)

Avon can’t be beat when it comes to value. Their already bargain-priced products often go on sale, making them incredibly affordable. I bought this cream when I first started noticing my skin was changing from oily to dry. This product is creamy, but not too thick, and not at all greasy. It moisturizes wonderfully and has a fresh, clean scent.
Olay Moisture rinse In Shower Body Lotion, Normal to Dry Skin ($5.99)

This is similar to a hair conditioner, except it is made for the body. Slather it on in the shower, and then rinse it off before toweling yourself dry. Your skin will feel sublime after using this product and it will smell great too!
