If you get really dry skin, try using a body wash that’s formulated for sensitive skin. Dove makes a good one. Body wash in general is less harsh on your skin than soap.
I personally never use washcloths: I just take the soap or body wash in my hand, build up a lather, then rub it on my body.
As someone with terrible skin problems, I’ve found Dove products to be among the worst for skin conditons. The best thing I’ve found, surprisingly, is to use shampoos (specifically ‘all natural’ ones containing tea tree and mint, but cheap store brands for preference as they’re less likely to add unneccessary crap). They work just as well for cleaning the body, and tend not to cause problems.

Yeah, mileage varies a lot with this, because everyone with sensitive skin is sensitive to different things. My skin loves Dove but it won’t work for everyone. The key point is to look for body wash products that are labeled “for sensitive skin.”

I have heard that the difference between “shampoo” and “body wash” is U.S. marketing.
I have pretty high confidence this is not true. I have tried using each for the other and neither works as well
