Keeping your skin hydrated protects it from early aging. Moisturizers are the most important element in any skincare regime. It soothes your skin and maintains a healthy skin barrier. Aside from face creams, body lotions are equally as important for you.
We narrowed down a bunch of different options for every skin type, concern, and budget. Enriched with great ingredients these lotions are extra moisturizing for your skin to look youthful and plump. Below, best lotions for your skin.
Olay Quench Body Lotion
“I have used a lot of expensive lotions, but this is by far the best. Niacin is the 3rd ingredient on the list and is in many expensive skin care products. My skin had a crepey look due to sun damage and this lotion has improved its appearance greatly. I’m more confident in showing my skin now. I don’t know why so many people don’t like the scent. I think it’s a fresh, light scent and my significant other likes it as well. I will surely be ordering more.” — Customer
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Lotion
“I have very dry skin on my legs, hands, and arms. I use lotion twice per day and when I take off my socks or yoga pants white flakey skin comes off my legs. I have tried vaseline products, even vaseline with cocoa butter. Greasy Burts bee wax, eucerin, Aquaphor, nothing. I was hesitant about trying this but when I saw the reviews for people getting great results with eczema I decided to try. After 3 days of using this twice/day on legs and hands I noticed a huge difference. My skin is no longer flaking or cracking. My heels are better. This is not greasy and absorbs well. I would definitely recommend it.” — Customer
NIVEA Enriched Body Lotion
“This is, hands down, my favorite body lotion of all time, and also my favorite out of the Nivea line. I have tried many body lotions over the years and the natural state of my skin craves serious moisture. I’m so glad to have found this product as it is perfect for me: seriously moisturizing, my skin just drinks it up, and the moisturizing properties last all day. Some lotions feel like they sit politely (yet greasily) on top of your skin, or they sink in but don’t seem to really nourish the skin. Not Nivea Essentially Enriched — it goes on smooth & creamy, not greasy, giving your skin a lovely, subtle, dewy sheen. It sinks in quickly & deeply to provide incomparable moisture and it feels super nourishing. It has a pleasant herbal/floral — dare I say uni-sex — scent that isn’t overly sweet, cloying, or lingering. Hubby loves it too for dry hands and elbows and for after shaving. In short, it just works, on all counts and is the go-to lotion for our household. We have a bottle on every bathroom counter and at the kitchen sink. I also appreciate that it’s paraben-free. A +++, Nivea, and the and at the kitchen sink. I also appreciate that it’s paraben-free. A +++, Nivea, and the price point here on Amazon can’t be beat.” — Clarabel
Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Glow Body Lotion
“This is the only lotion I use, I have psoriasis so my skin is constantly getting dried out. This lotion relieves the dryness, and itchiness right away. It’s rich, creamy and smells wonderful!! I have been using the cocoa radiant Vaseline lotion for about 5 years and will continue to buy!!!! This is THE only lotion you will ever need, plus with as rich as it is you will no longer need to put lotion on every day! Watch as your skin just gets better and better!!” — Lauren B.
Eucerin Intensive Repair Lotion
“PERFECT! Let me say that again. PERFECT. We have a history of dry skin and eczema in our family. As a family we’ve tried dozens of lotions and none of them fit the bill. Some smelled great but didn’t last. Some went on smoothly then were gone after just an hour or so. This one is just right. I found it in an article (I just tried to find it again but I couldn’t) online and decided to try it because it also said it was recommended for people of color. This lotion lasts on the body the entire day with the exception of my hands which is to be expected. I go in and out of my jean pockets and wash my hands a lot so it has to be reapplied to the hands ‘a little’ more often. We’ve been using it for just over a month now. It’s been great for my daughter’s eczema and for my dry skin. I am definitely recommending this product to others.” — Customer
Gold Bond Medicated Body Lotion
“Then girl this is the product for you! I tried over a period of a year multiple products for moisturizing my itchy skin due to my perimenopause. This is the one, the only ONE that does not have me in bed scratching at my skin all night and leaving welts all over my body. There’s no itching, just soothing relief when I use it. It truly is amazing. It took me so long to try it because it was cheap. Don’t be cheap if you are looking for something for your skin and you are in the middle of perimenopause this is it don’t look any further!” — Customer
Organic Lavender Coconut Lotion by Dr. Bronner’s
“I have used Dr. Bronner’s soap for over a decade. Luv the peppermint products the most. I have replaced most soaps, detergents and even toothpaste in my house with it. There have been crazy days when I am glad I can take the one bottle of peppermint soap and sponge off, brush my teeth, wash my hair, etc…all in one…all in 20 minutes. Aside from great products, Dr. Bronner’s family business is ethical and takes care of its employees– allowing them to be a fair part of the businesses successes. I highly recommend YouTube to see the documentary Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soapbox. It’s what made me really fall in love with everything Dr. Bronner.” — Rhea
Ginger Lily Farms Botanicals Soothing Butter Lotion
“This lotion is nice and thick. I can use it on my face and also around my eyes and it does not burn. There is no fragrance. As there is no pump included, I picked one up at SALLY beauty for less than $3. I can say that I will be purchasing this product again.” — Customer
The Honest Company Body Lotion
“I’ve been using this product for a week, just on my face and hands. It’s super light but also very moisturising. No smell. Not greasy. I will definitely be repurchasing this product!” — Serene Jade
Ginger Bath & Body Lotion
“This body cream is definitely creamy and absorbs well. I do not love the scent and was anticipating the scent to be somewhat different- but this is a matter of personal taste. It is a very good product.” — Donna
