When I landed at Heathrow after an arse-chillingly cold few days in Boston, I went into the Body Shop and asked them for the most moisturising bath stuff they had. They recommended their Africa Spa Indulgent Bath and Shower Cream, so I bought some.

How ironic that after a week of using this stuff, my skin feels dryer and coarser than it did when the Boston cold was doing its very worst. I am now having to glue my skin back on with yacht varnish.
