Our listing tags it for all skin types, including dry and sensitive skin. Everyone's skin is different, so patch test on a small area first, particularly if your skin reacts easily.
How to use it
- Apply after bathing while your skin is still slightly damp, so the lotion can help lock in moisture.
- Press the pump to dispense the lotion and smooth it over your body, massaging until absorbed.
- Focus on dry areas such as arms, legs, elbows and knees.
- Use it once or twice a day, or whenever your skin feels dry. Follow any directions on the pack.
This is a body lotion. For your face, choose a facial moisturizer such as those in our face moisturizers collection.
What to pair it with
- A gentle body wash. Harsh cleansers can leave skin feeling dry, so a mild wash gives your lotion an easier job. Browse our body care range.
- Sunscreen on exposed skin. A body lotion is not sun protection, so use a separate sunscreen on areas that are exposed to the sun.
