Assessing the skin problem
First thing first, you need to know your exact skin type and the problems you face. You have to be certain that whether your entire body skin is dry or there are just some patches of dry and rough skin on your body? The level of dryness also holds the key in selecting the correct moisturizer. You have to check if your skin is moderately, mildly or severely dry.

For extremely dry skins, oil-based products are the best solution. Use of petroleum jelly and shea butter at nights allow the oils within these products to soak in the skin while you relax. Opt for the products that contain natural oils, like grape seed and lanolin, while purchasing at the beauty stores. Olive oil is another natural product with amazing moisturizing abilities.

Creams
For lesser dry skins, a good moisturizing cream can serve a decent purpose. Choose a moisturizing cream containing collagen, shea butter, glycerine and hyaluronic acid. Most of the heavy moisturizing creams are advised to be used at night, giving them sufficient time to penetrate different layers of your dry skin. -

Lotions
Mildy dryness of skin can be dealt with using non-oily lotions for day time use. Contents like aloe vera, jojoba, glycolic acid and stone crop, should be looked in moisturizing lotions.
