For my body im prone to very dry skin, flaking, ashy knees, elbows, cracked skin etc. esp becausee its winter where I am. Had a problem where despite moisturising first thing in the morning and before sleep by 6 ish hours my skin would start to dry out again
I read up a while back that olive oil used to be used as a moisturizer and still is in many parts of the world, now its too greasy and has a smell to it on its own, what I do for my body moisturizer is I use 3 pumps of moisturizer and a little bit of olive oil, mix it in and apply it. I've found it retains moisture far better than just the moisturizer alone especially around the elbows, knees and shins where I usually dry up quicker. Best part is it is a natural light exfoliant so you wash it off in the afternoon or whenever you shower and skin feels smoother.
