Try 'Ponds cold cream' although it's not one thats used with water, the women in my family have been using it for generations it leaves skin clean, glowing and well moisturised a little gem of a beauty product and only costs about 3 or 4 pounds. give it a try you might find you stay with it leaving all the overpriced stuff behind you
I use Simple Facial Wash - on my face, neck & ears, then Dove Moisterising Cream Bar on the rest of my body. My skin always feels nice - although I don't have dry skin, so don't know if this would help you chazza.
