Body Lotion

Revitalising Body Lotion

Our range of international body lotions and body creams are packed full of natural essential oils and fruit and herb extracts, to leave skin smooth, soft and healthy.

Use body lotion or body cream as part of your daily skincare routine to maintain a silky smooth skin.

The nourishing ingredients in lotion or cream prevent premature ageing and loss of elasticity caused by dryness. They also add instant hydration.

What is the difference between a body cream and a body lotion?

Body cream contains more oil than body lotion, which is lighter and more quickly absorbed.

What are the benefits?

Body lotion and body cream keep your skin super smooth and supple, and keep ageing at bay.

If your skin is relatively dry, you may prefer a cream. Or use all over after bathing and body cream to target drier parts of your skin, such as elbows, feet and legs.

Choosing the best body lotion or cream for your skin

The best option for you will depend on your skin type and needs.

Best firming body cream

Choose a cream that hydrates, plumps and tightens to improve skin density and elasticity. Look for products with vitamins, antioxidants and amino acids to support healthy cell production of collagen and elastin for firmer skin.

Best body lotion for glowing skin

Look for a lotion that contains vitamin E and natural extracts like aloe to leave skin ultra-soft, hydrated and glowing. Nourishing argan and avocado oils intensively moisturise dry skin, giving it a youthful glow and soft touch.

Best body massage cream

Opt for a cream that contains vitamins and minerals to condition and repair skin, as well as plant extracts and shea butter to help tone, smooth and de-stress skin.

Best body lotion for damaged skin

Look for a lotion high in antioxidants, including fruit oils to protect the skin from free-radical damage caused by the sun. Choose creams with anti-inflammatory ingredients such as citrus, coconut, safflower, sunflower, jojoba and olive oil.

Best exfoliating body cream

A cream with citrus extracts and citric acid will painlessly buff away dead skin.

Best collagen body cream

Choose a cream that contains collagen alongside elastin and vitamin E to enable the production of collagen to help restore and revitalise the elasticity of your skin.

Best hand and body lotion

Hand lotions are usually thicker and more emollient than body lotions. However, some products are designed for both hands and body. Look out for lotions made with natural ingredients like Argan oil and hemp seed oil.

Best body lotion for winter

During harsh winter months when skin is parched, choose a healing lotion with shea oil to lock moisture into chapped skin and gently slough away flakes and roughness.

Best body cream for sensitive skin

Choose a fragrance-free cream that contains natural ingredients like aloe vera and shea butter to help heal stressed-out skin.

Can you use body lotion on your hair?

Body lotions sometimes contain perfumes and aromatic chemicals that can damage hair. It’s better to buy a good-quality moisturising hair conditioner or intensive conditioning treatment for your hair.

Can you use body lotion on your face?

Body lotions may contain fragrances and oils that irritate the delicate skin on your face. Rather use a facial moisturiser.
