Here’s the method that I developed to help my husband with his dry patches. I keep an oil mixture in a pump container in my shower. I create a moisture barrier using oil and apply it all over your body before lathering with soap. Apply the oil rinse off both the oil and the soap, completely. After stepping out of the shower, I still suggest using a moisturizer, but you will notice a significate reduction in dry patchy skin and you will see better results from your moisturizer.
This hack isn’t some crazy, expensive, hard to come by method, instead, you can buy all these ingredients from your local grocery store and I am sure you probably already have a few in your pantry.
I use these three oils, avocado oil, sunflower oil, grapeseed oil, almond oil (avoid coconut oil as it is too greasy and can cause a fall in the shower). Mix equal parts (1/3) in a bottle with a pump.
