Just use low pH shower gel like Johnson 5.5 or Dove and any anti-bacterial soap is more strong than these two and will damage your sensitive skin.

But the main problem is your skin after shower, forget any product like lotion, moisturizer because they a are mostly water-based. The solution is to use olive oil on your affected skin right after the bath, if the oil is too messy, try it at night before sleep and you will notice a huge difference in the next day. You can drink a couple of spoon of olive oil too to improve your skin, I suggest you research a bit about what olive oil can do to your skin.

All this on my experienced, because I gave up on any chemical product that not work.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Do you apply olive oils as hand cream as well?

I have been avoiding oil-based product as I felt that it's quite hard to manage. But using it at night sounds reasonable / less messy throughout the days

Actually, I do apply it to my hand, face and my hair. But I'm not wearing any make-up because I'm not a woman. If you work in an office with air cond just apply it before you go to work at home, the oil will just absorb to your skin pretty fast. Just compare it how long it will moisturize with your previous lotion/moisturizer.

Firstly, look away from any commercialized brands that you can find in any pharmacies.

Secondly, as we age it’s normal that our skin becomes dryer cause our body gets weaker. It’s worsen if you’re sitting under air-cond 8 hours a day & shower with hot water. So you need to apply moisturizers as you grow older, especially after shower.

Thirdly the soap that you should be looking for is called Castile soap. Castile is not a brand, it’s a type of soap that has been used for near 1000 years already. Try to do some research about it online first.

Not a girl, but I had bad experience with Johnson&Johnsons, just warning you. Skin also sensitive to certain soaps. Still trying to find something suitable.

If you can afford please go nearby pharmacy and look for a soapless cleanser/body face gel like Cetaphil, got many brands but a quite expensive, RM25-30 per 200-250ml.
