It's tempting during the winter months to ignore our limbs. To rug up after a shower rather than moisturise. However, a little laziness now makes for a lot of lizard skin later, so keeping up the moisturisation is important... especially if you want to keep your skin in the kind of condition that won't have the lizard people conspiracy theorists feeling vindicated in their beliefs.
So which moisturisers are a cut above the rest? Which are kind to sensitive skin? Which have such a delicious fragrance that you'll find yourself sniffing yourself on a regular basis? Check out the top ten body moisturisers as decided by Beauty Review members...
1. Cetaphil Moisturising Cream
RATED: 4.8/5!
Beauty Review Member MrsO says: I recently started using this cream again as I get Dermatitis/Excema on my hands. It's worse in the winter when my skin gets really dry and flaky. This cream is really helpful for restoring moisture to my skin and is very hydrating.
2. Pure Fiji Hydrating Body Lotion Mango
RATED: 4.8/5
Beauty Review Member mozxazn says: This is literally my FAVORITE body lotion! I love the smell so much and I love how it feels! I highly recommend this, you will not regret it and it feels so luxurious on your skin.
3. Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter
RATED: 4.8/5!
Beauty Review Member MAGPIEFI says: This cream/butter is one of the best I’ve used on my dry skin, silky to rub in it glides easily over my skin and soaks in really quickly, without leaving any residue. The more I’ve used this the better condition my skin has become.
4. NIVEA Naturally Good Organic Oat & Nourishment Body Lotion
RATED: 4.7/5
Beauty Review Member purgatori says: I love everything about this moisturizer, the smell, the bottle, the feel on your skin. It soaks right in, doesn't leave any weird residue and leaves skin feeling nice and soft.
5. Vaseline Cocoa Glow
RATED: 4.5/5
Beauty Review Member Amberjessie says: This is my go to body moisturiser. It has a nice subtle scent, and it feels really nice on the skin. It soaks in nicely and doesn't leave your skin feeling sticky. Really good value for money!
6. St Ives Body Lotion
RATED: 4.4/5
Beauty Review Member Alice72 says: The collagen and elastin variety of this moisturiser has been my chosen body moisturiser for several years. It has no parabens in it, which is a huge tick for me, and is very moisturising. My skin feels hydrated for the day after using this cream.
7. Linden Leaves Body Oil (all varieties)
RATED: 4.6/5
Beauty Review Member Shazzaali says: This oil smells amazing! I love rose scents and this has a very strong lovely rose scent. The fragrance stays on your skin and clothes for ages. It is great for moisturizing and also makes a nice massage oil.
8. NIVEA Naturally Good Organic Avocado & Hydration Body Lotion
RATED: 4.5/5
Beauty Review Member pippi77 says: The scent is fresh and light, very wearable and pleasant and not overwhelming at all. The cream is thick but lightweight. It rubs in easily, absorbs quickly and has no greasy feeling afterwards. I'd definitely recommend this product to others.
9. Vaseline Aloe Fresh Moisturising Body Gel
RATED: 4.5/5
Beauty Review Member MissMimzy says: This is the perfect thing to have in the fridge during summer when you accidentally spend too much time in the sun. It smells amazing, is super refreshing and does wonders to the skin.
10. Skinfood Body Butter
RATED: 4.5/5
Beauty Review Member tabucutie says: The first thing I noticed when I unscrewed the cap was the wonderful scent. Smells like a tropical breeze, just really beautiful. The body butter formula is perfect. Creamy texture, absorbs fast into the skin. Feels deep moisturizing, not just surface layers of the skin. An affordable, luxury type product and experience.
I love the cetaphil cream it is great for my sensitive skin as it has not fragrances in it
