Body Care Moisturisers

Find your body moisturiser at Skins

Body moisturisers are an essential part of any skincare routine. They are designed to moisturise and nourish the skin, leaving it feeling soft, supple and smooth. Body moisturisers come in different forms, including lotions, creams and oils, and are formulated with different ingredients to suit every skin type and need.

What types of body moisturiser are there?

One of the most common types of body moisturiser is a lotion. Lotions are lightweight and are easily absorbed by the skin, making them an excellent choice for daily use. They are usually formulated with water and oil, as well as other ingredients such as glycerin, hyaluronic acid and ceramides, which help to moisturise and protect the skin. Lotions also come in different textures, so you can choose what best suits your preferences.

Another type of body moisturiser is a cream. Creams are richer and thicker than lotions, and provide more intense hydration to the skin. They are ideal for anyone with dry or sensitive skin, as they are often formulated with ingredients like shea butter, cocoa butter or coconut oil, which are known for their moisturising properties. Creams also come in different formulas so you can choose what works best for you.

Body oils are also becoming increasingly popular as a moisturising option. Usually made from natural ingredients, such as jojoba, argan or coconut oil, these oils are excellent for locking in moisture and keeping skin soft and supple. They are especially good for people with dry or mature skin, as they help restore the skin's natural moisture barrier and prevent dehydration.

This is how you use your body moisturiser

Regardless of the type of body moisturiser you choose, it is important to apply it regularly to keep your skin hydrated and healthy. You can use it after showering or bathing with bath & shower products, when the skin is still damp, to lock in moisture. Massage the body moisturiser into your skin in circular motions, paying special attention to dry areas like elbows, knees and heels. With regular use, you will notice your skin becoming smoother, softer and more radiant.
