Emollient cream for showers instead of soap

My skin is old and getting very dry, but I still enjoy a refreshing shower to wake up every morning. I need a soap replacement to keep my skin from becoming overly dry.

Can someone recommend such a product that isn't super expensive?

Thanks for your help!

Dove has a good body wash for men with cream. Smells good too. Srkdqltr Aug 24 #1

Emollients can make the shower very slippery, and increase mold/mildew on shower mats Donkees Aug 24 #2

I scrub the damn mat every day after my shower! It gets lots of powdered cleanser to cut the soap scum and slips! CTyankee Aug 24 #3

Olay has great body washes. Not too expensive.
