I’m type 2 & suffering with really dry skin on my body. My skin itches a lot too.
Tried lots of moisturisers, any recommendations please
 
Also eat more olive oil and healthy fat e.g. butter, cream, fat from meat. I take a collagen supplement and it's really done my dry skin a lot of good - but shop around if you decide to try that because some are very poor quality. I use a company that doesn't have any fillers or additives. It's a bit more expensive but you are getting more product.
 
I use CeraVe it was developed with dermatologists. They have a few different cleansers which I use as my body wash as it doesn’t distrupt the protective skin barrier. They also have different body and facial moisturizers, and it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.
