St. Ives Oatmeal and Shea Butter body wash is great for people who suffer from dry and/or itchy skin. I have been using this product for over two years and it keeps my skin happily hydrated. Moreover, it lathers up nicely and has a clean warm scent (smell does not stick with you all day). I find that if I apply the wash directly to my skin, after being out in the sun, my skin is soothed and comes back to life right away. Also, I have sensitive skin and this body wash did not irritate it. A thirteen ounce bottle costs under four dollars. If you suffer from dry itchy skin, or you just want your skin to stay hydrated, you should use all three St. Ives Oatmeal and Shea Butter products simultaneously (body polish, body wash and body lotion). All of Saint Ives products are affordable so do not worry about the cost. However, I can only vouch for the Oatmeal and Shea Butter products.
