Is there a better product for keeping my body hydrated?

I have very dry skin all over my body. I’m dark skinned with mostly Indian ancestry, if that matters.

Over the years I’ve tried a lot of creams recommended by my GP, like urea cream, cetomacrogol, lanette cream, cooling ointments, etc. Some work slightly better than others, but most of them feel way too thick and greasy. I also really dislike the smell of a lot of medical-style creams.

What I want is skin that feels hydrated and healthy, not oily or coated in grease. Almost like that slightly “wet” hydrated feeling.

Right now I use a cheap store-brand body lotion, and I’ve also tried Nivea Body Milk which feels pretty similar. They help, but after a few hours my skin still starts feeling dry again. It’s not severe dryness where I get white scratch marks anymore, but it still feels drier than I’d like.

I’m also a man with pretty hairy arms/legs, so heavy creams can feel even worse.

I’m not fully satisfied with how my skin feels currently, so I was wondering if anyone here has found something that actually works better.

Also: do other people here lotion their whole body every single morning too?
