For Every Skin Type
Let’s be honest, no self-care routine is complete without a good moisturiser and, for the ultimate smooth and soothed skin you deserve, there’s nothing better than finding the best body moisturiser for you. Whether you’re battling seriously dry or sensitive skin, looking for a luxurious cream or a lightweight lotion that's kind to oily skin, we’ve got the body butters for the job - and if you’re still not satisfied, there are plenty more hydrating lotions to discover.
How we choose the best body moisturisers
When narrowing down the best body moisturisers, we look for lotions that hydrate with a capital H. Deeply nourishing and softening without leaving skin greasy, these are the ones that sink in quickly to leave your limbs insanely silky in a matter of minutes. Rather than a quick fix for dry skin, these body moisturisers effectively lock in moisture to deliver long-lasting hydration. Your glowing reviews play an important part too, when a product racks up a bunch of 5-star ratings we can’t help but take notice.
