Your skin can probably use a little TLC, especially as the seasons change. No matter how long or how short your body care routine is, it should always include a body lotion. Not all body lotions are created equal, which is one of the reasons why we prefer lotions that nourish and hydrate your skin instead of lotions that only do one thing.

Check out a few of our favorite body lotions for dry skin below. 

Nopalera Dulce De Cuerpo Cactus Cream

If you want to smell warm and fuzzy, this lotion will be a great addition to your collection. This body cream has notes of vanilla, amber, and citrus. Another reason to check out this body cream is that it has prickly pear oil, which will help it absorb quickly into your skin while also giving you a lot of extra hydration. This product is vegan, gluten-free, alcohol-free, and soy-free. 

Kora Organics Nourishing Hand and Body Lotion

We love that this nourishing lotion can be used on your hands and the rest of your body. This lotion promises to be lightweight and non-sticky. It contains antioxidant-infused microalgae and an ingredient called noni, which can help nourish and soften your skin. It is also formulated with ceramides, which can protect and moisturize your skin. If you are someone who prefers a floral scent, this has notes of basil, rose, and geranium. 

EOS Shea Better 24-Hour Moisture Body Lotion

One of the reasons to love this body lotion is that it offers 24-hour hydration and nourishment. It is super lightweight and absorbs quickly into your skin without leaving a sticky residue. Seven different kinds of butter and oils soothe and nourish your skin while also hydrating it. When it comes to the scent, this smells like jasmine and peach with a touch of vanilla. 

Tree Hut Pink Hibiscus Moisturizing Body Lotion

This is a medium-weight, non-greasy, and vegan body lotion that nourishes, protects, and hydrates your skin. We love this formula because it uses squalane and ceramides to help your skin look and feel hydrated. When it comes to ingredients, one of the key ones in this is hibiscus extract, which can promote skin cell turnover and help even your skin tone. It also has ylang ylang, which helps your skin with irritation and inflammation. Peach, apricot, and pomegranate oils in this help nourish and hydrate your skin. 

Frank Body Nourishing Body Lotion

This product works for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It was designed to be calming but also hydrating. Squalane is one of the ingredients we wanted to call out because it helps hydrate and moisturize your skin while giving it a soft and smoother feel. It also uses calming oat extract and nourishing and hydrating avocado oil.
