    If your skin is that dry then you probably shouldn't be rubbing it at all. Irritating it and rubbing all of your natural oils off will only make it dryer.

    Then how would I remove the dust, crap that sticks to my skin...especially as a cyclist that wears shorts often enough? Just letting water and soap run over doesn't remove some stuff.

    I do use alot of strong lotion for my dry skin.

    My legs are gross after my rides with an accumulated layer of dirt thats stuck to my sunblock. Try the Clarisonic Pro that comes with the body brush. Use a gentle shea butter body wash like Aveeno or Olay. What do you mean by "strong" lotion? I only use one light lotion and it is just right - the La Mer body creme. You will notice the difference. Get a sample and try it. I suspect, unless you have some reaction to it, you will love it by end of first week. That along with the Clarisonic -- my skin feels glorious after a wash.

    My guess is the stuff is sticking to your lotion, if you still find the lotion on you after a shower. Plain old bar soap and water removes everything from my legs without really scrubbing...as a runner who trail runs and wears shorts often enough. But you also might want to consider lowering your shower temperature if you tend to like them hot. The hotter the water, the faster natural oils are removed from your skin (and the dryer it will be).

    I usually use soft scrub while showering twice a week and my skin really feels better. I agree by the way that water shouldn't be too hot as it is bad for body and hair as well.
    I also use body lotion after shower and go to bed.
