3 tips when shopping for a body lotion

Body lotion is a broad term for many different products used to moisturise the skin:

  • Body lotions are lightweight and easy to apply, quickly absorbed into the skin without leaving any stickiness.

  • Body butters are a thicker cream that requires a bit more effort to work into the skin. They provide deep hydration and can leave the skin feeling soft and smooth.

  • Body oil is ideal if your skin feels dry. It's runny to apply and quickly hydrates and nourishes your skin.

For those with sensitive skin or atopic skin, fragrance-free body lotions are a great option. By opting for fragrance-free body lotions, you can avoid the potential irritation that fragrances can cause on your skin.

If you're looking for easy application, opt for a body lotion that comes in a bottle or in a package with a pump.

During the summer, go for a product with sunscreen. A good sunscreen will moisturise your skin while protecting it from the sun.

BODY LOTION

FAQ

A body lotion is a cream for the body with the primary purpose to moisturise and heal dry skin. There are many different types and textures – everything from a classic free-flowing cream to firmer, almost solid body butters.

A body lotion can be bought both unscented or scented. For children and adults with eczema and other skin problems, body lotions are also available with a prescription from a doctor.

It depends on your skin type and how sensitive it is. If you have sensitive skin, for example, a perfume-free product can be important. Feel free to read our test of body lotions.

Often the difference is consistency. A lotion is more fluid and is absorbed faster when applied. A skin cream tends to be greasier, moisturises more intensely and often takes a little longer to work into the skin.

A body butter is even richer in formulation and is usually perfumed. In other words, there can be significant differences between these different types of moisturiser, although they all work to make the skin softer and less dry.
