Thanks for the help.What is a good bath/shower oil that also smells great and keeps you moisturzed and smooth?
if you want smooth skin, use johnson's baby wash which is incredibly gentle to your skin, pour some in the palm of your hand and then pour some baking soda in your palm and mix them up and rub your palms over the parts of your body that are rough. when i get to my feet, i use a cuticle brush to scrub my toe nails and the heels and bottom of my feet. rinse all that off and you won't believe how nice your skin feels.
you have to be careful with oil in the shower, you get it on the floor of the tub/shower stall and the next person may slip and be seriously hurt.
the best way to put on oil is to turn off the shower, brush your hands down your arms and body and legs to get most of the water off, pour a little oil in your palm, rub your hands together, and rub the oil on. when you get to your feet, just oil the tops and when you get out of the tub, put a towel on the floor to stand on and rub one foot on top of the other to get oil on your soles. then, gently pat the rest of the moisture off your skin. if my feet are really dry, i'll put a lot of oil on and sometimes an hydroxy acid lotion and put on some white socks and wear them to bed.
what kind of oil. you can go to the health food stores and look for the body oils, they get a little pricey so some people just use olive oil. experiment, look and see what oils are in the expensive blends and you can buy them individually more cheaply.
scents are tricky. i generally don't suggest them because they are often irritating to sensitive skin. but if you want, buy a couple, at the health store, and try mixing just a little at a time.
lavender is soothing and calming. but do your research in aroma therapy and choose the scents you like.
take good care of your skin: don't ';suntan,'; wear your sunblock, don't smoke, you know the drill. when you are fifty, and your smoking friends look like they are 60 and you look like you are 35, you will be glad you did.

I have a tendency to get dry skin and the only thing that has worked for me in the shower is the Aveeno line of products. I bought the shower gel and the lotion and it worked great! It doesn't really have a fragrance, it's more like a neutral smell...not medicinal or anything. Also, I think they may have a stress relief line that may smell nice. Hope this helps!
Olive Oil
Glycerin-as first ingredient.
I use the Dove Pro-Age Body Bath.
I love it.. It keeps my skin feeling and looking smooth.
During the months when the air is so dry, it damages my skin very bad, I've tried several bath products and nothing really continued to make my skin feel nice and smooth from day to day without having to apply lotion or shower everyday.
I will not go back to anything else nor will i try anything else.
Dove Pro-Age is # 1...
I think its soft soap. but they have a shower gel that smells great and keeps your skin silky smooth for hours.
