I have recently been having a lot of dry itchy skin. I don't know if it is the weather, a recent weight gain (making my skin a little tight) or nicotine therapy overload from quitting smoking (which would make my weight gain make some sense...) OR even trying a cheap dollar store imitation of Tone bar soap. Maybe all.
I am going mad and it is a little concerning.
I have tried tea tree shampoo as a body wash, this is good for skin, without much relief. I have also tried medicated itch creams.
I break out badly from Ivory of all things.
I would like something that smells nice or no scent, liquid preferred, and affordable. Body wash, shower gel...and not uber oily...I break out easy with acne.
Any suggestions would be welcome for soap or other skin care.

Neutrogena. My husband has the same problem with soaps. Teatree body wash made him break out in a rash once. So, I bought nuetrogena body wash. Nice scent. Not too girly just nice. And cleared it right up. No more itching. Walmart makes an equate version which is comparable to Neutrogena. He likes it and actually I use it sometimes too. It's refreshing. Also, is it possible that you changed your laundry detergant recently? This can also cause the skin to itch if it's not the right kind for you.

HI before Mary Kay I was using Dr Bonner all natural liquid soap. I really liked it but I was still feeling a little dry. I started selling Mary Kay and of course tried the body products. I love the 2 in 1 wash they also have wonderful sugar scrubs and hydration lotions. I have very dry and sensitive skin. they do not come in sample size but all the products are 100% guaranteed. If you can't use it you aren't stuck with it.

Ivory is the worst for your skin... DOVE is the best most gentlest for all over body wash... for the acne... go to pharm. or walmart.. anywhere.. get OTC "PURPOSE" bar of soap - blue box made by Johnson and Johnson wash your face with this 2-3x's per day... for pimples.. get a low strength benzoperoxide cream apply this only to the blemishes themselves.. works by an oxidation/reduction reaction so dont rub in just dab... dont put anywhere else on face will dry out your skin make you look worse.. as far as lotion goes.. for face or body.. ASK FOR "NUTRADERM LOTION.. THE ORGINAL" not the new stuff.. works great on face and body.. doesnt leave a residue...I am so happy now great skin.. used Tetracycline .. Proactive etc for acne.. also had irriations... on legs underarms etc.. itchy oily.. dry all of the above... good skin now.. dont get expensive facials.. etc...dont even need make up... ps DONT USE IVORY --to harsh.. DONT USE Apricot crap...DONT listen to ONLINE crap about fruits that contain ACIDS such as lemon...

Try Cetaphil soap and lotion. They are non-scented products for dry, sensitive skin. A little expensive compared to regular soaps and lotions, but well worth it. You can find it in most pharmacies.

I personally like body washs with moisturizer in them. Such as Dove, Caress, Oil of Olay, etc.... they make my skin really smooth! There is also "In shower body lotion" you putit on like lotion in the shower then you rinse it off. It works pretty well. You could also putl otion or cream on after the shower when your skin is still damp and it soaks in better. Hope this helped...
