Palmer's Coconut Hydrate Balm 3.5oz
Worth saying up front: this is a skin balm, not a styler. Its job is elbows, knees, heels and any patch of skin that has gone rough and tight.
Coconut oil is the base and shea butter carries it, which gives you a balm that stays put rather than sinking in and vanishing. It is thicker than a body lotion, so it works better as a targeted step on the areas that need it than as an all-over moisturiser. The 3.5oz tin is small enough to live in a bag.
Apply it after a bath or a shower while skin is still slightly damp, and again after shaving or a cold day outdoors. It layers over a body lotion if you want both steps.

Application tips
Warm a small amount between your fingers first; a balm this thick will drag on dry skin otherwise.
Press it into the rough spots, elbows, knees, heels, knuckles, rather than spreading it thin across the whole body. Straight after a bath is best, while the skin still holds water. Socks over the feet afterwards if the heels are bad. It layers over a lotion rather than replacing one.
Results
Tightness goes within a few minutes and the skin stays comfortable for hours rather than needing a top-up by lunchtime. Rough patches feel softer to the hand after two or three days of use.
The finish is cushioned rather than slick, so clothes go on without sticking, and the coconut scent is warm and mild rather than sweet. A small pot lasts, since it is a targeted balm rather than an all-over one.
