Even the simplest skincare products, like body lotion, require proper application for effective treatment. Learn more about how to apply body lotion correctly and find body lotions specifically tailored to different areas of the body for maximum benefits.
Body lotion is a moisturizer with a lighter consistency than creams but a richer formula than facial moisturizer. Body lotions contain hydrating ingredients like oils and humectants, and you can choose one based on your skin type and the specific concerns you hope to treat.
One of the key benefits of body lotion is moisturization. Body lotion helps reduce the appearance of dehydrated skin. To reduce the feeling of rough texture and discomfort, apply lotion to damp skin. Doing so helps prevent water from evaporating as quickly off skin. Signs of an impaired skin barrier due to water loss are visible redness, flakiness, and irritation. Different lotions are formulated to treat a variety of concerns, including sensitive skin, acne, eczema, keratosis pilaris, and cellulite.
Not all areas of the body have the same amount or type of dryness. Combining products for different body areas can be beneficial for complete visible skin rejuvenation.
The arms and legs are two of the most visible areas of the body. The Coconut Cream After Bath Moisturizer or Tahitian Vanilla After Bath Moisturizer offer intense hydration with beautiful fragrances.

The hands often show signs of aging like age spots and crepey skin. During the colder months, our hands also become dry, and the skin can crack. Our Hand Cream locks in moisture and gives your hands instant hydration for smoother, softer looking skin.
Body lotion should be applied in the morning and/or at night when you shower. Hand creams and application on the elbows or knees may be needed a few times throughout the day if you are bothered by dry skin.
Body lotion should not be washed off. Let the lotion soak into your skin so that you can enjoy the full moisturizing benefits.
Body lotion should be used immediately after a shower while your skin is damp. Warm, slightly damp skin allows the lotion to penetrate onto the skin.
Body lotion should be used at least once per day to maintain soft, hydrated skin.
