The Moisturizing Body Wash for the Gym Devotee
Lavanila Sport Luxe Healthy Body Wash 3-in-1 , $16

Kudos to you if you manage to drag yourself to the gym on a daily basis. Working up a sweat can actually be good for your skin because it helps flush out toxic elements, but the hot shower you take after your sweat session is definitely not good, especially if you have dry skin. This sport body wash for dry skin will nix the sweat without stripping your skin, conditioning it with skin-softening ingredients like aloe, coconut oil and Lavanila's SmartSport technology, a proprietary blend of plant-derived antioxidants and oils. Vanilla, chamomile and lavender extract make your obligatory post-workout shower as luxurious and fresh-smelling as possible.

The Soothing Body Wash for When You Want to Crawl Out of Your Skin
Eucerin Skin Calming Dry Skin Body Wash , $8.59

This body wash for dry skin may look no-frills at first glance, but it's a Holy Grail product for sufferers of eczema and chronic dry skin. The oily, liquid formula turns into a light milky texture upon contact with water, and thoroughly cleanses as it immediately softens skin. Although it looks and behaves like an oil, this sensitive skin body wash does have effective cleansing agents, meaning your skin (and tub) won't feel like an oil slick after use. The no-scent, no-soap, no-dye formula equals no problem for irritated, sensitive skin.

The Dry Skin Body Wash That Will Make You Dream of Spring
Kneipp Orange Blossom and Jojoba Shower Foam , $16

Holy field of orange blossoms, Batman. This gel-to-foam body wash is the closest you can get to meandering through an in-bloom citrus grove in the dead of winter. Take it from this Florida-born girl: It smells like the real thing, with just a hint of sweetness. With naturally sourced ingredients like Jojoba seed oil (a dry skin savior), it's no wonder that this is as moisturizing as it is aromatic. Since the gel balloons into quite a bit of foam upon contact, you can be sure this product will last for a while, too.

The Luxe Body Wash for Dry Skin
Moroccanoil Body Shower Milk, $32

Come fall and winter, your skin demands routine. With this body wash, turn a regimen borne of necessity into a spa-like indulgence. The pearlescent, creamy lather contains the brand's signature ingredient, argan oil, along with coconut oil, olive oil, aloe and glycerin -- all of which saturate desperately dry skin. Of the three scents offered, the rose-scented wash is especially pleasant, but light enough that it won't irritate sensitive noses. The initial texture is milky, but the formula can be whipped into a delicate froth with just a little scrubbing (or help from a loofah).

The Hydrating Wash That Doubles as Perfume
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Yogurt Body Wash, $7.99

Of all the body washes on this list, this one (surprisingly!) has a scent that lingers the longest -- the kind that makes people say, "You smell good. What is that?" The apricot and honey scent smells like a sweet, fruity concoction, and the vanilla and oats scent smells like a dish of vanilla bean ice cream. The smallest dab of the creamy gel will lather into a foam that would satisfy even the most bubble-loving sufferer of dry skin. Infused with oatmeal to relieve itchiness and the lipids, lactic acid, proteins and lactose found in yogurt, this body wash for dry skin moisturizes and rinses completely clean, leaving behind only its dessert-like scent.
