7 Best Affordable Body Wash for Dry Skin in Nigeria
1) Dove Caring/ Pampering Body Wash (Shea Butter & Vanilla)
Dove is a popular name for body lotions and the best affordable body wash for dry skin in Nigeria; the good thing is that their body washes products have been living up to their standards and marketing description. One is the Dove caring body wash, sometimes called the Dove pampering body wash. The particular one we are referring to in this article is the shea butter and Vanilla range.

You can get it in cosmetic stores or shopping malls.
The price online is around #5000 in Jumia and Konga. Offline, you can find it below that price.

Things to Do That Help Prevent Dry Skin
Since we recommend affordable shower gels to combat your dry skin, there are other things that we recommend adding to your skincare routine to help say goodbye to skin dryness.
- Always exfoliate because not exfoliating can pile up dead skin, leading to dry, crackly skin.
- Always moisturize with a lotion or body butter.
- Use your moisturizer or body butter when your skin is damp, not dry.
- Seal your body lotion or body butter with moisturizing oil.
- And finally, be hydrated by drinking more water.
