Lotion, Cream, Gel or Oil?

  • Lotion: light and quick to spread, for daily all-over use.
  • Cream: thicker and longer-lasting, a richer body moisturizer for dry skin and areas such as elbows and knees.
  • Gel-cream: light and cooling, popular in hot, humid weather.
  • Oil or oil mist: adds glow and softness, best on damp skin.

Ingredients for Dry Skin

Urea and lactic acid smooth rough skin, ceramides and shea butter help hold in moisture, and glycerin and hyaluronic acid draw water in.

When to Apply

Right after a shower, on slightly damp skin, so the moisturizer can hold in the water. Reapply to hands and dry areas during the day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lotion or cream for dry skin?

Lotions suit daily all-over use; creams are better for very dry areas such as elbows, knees and feet.

Can I use a face moisturizer on my body?

You can, but body lotions come in larger sizes and are made to spread over larger areas.

Why is my skin dry even in humid weather?

Air-conditioning and hot showers dry the skin indoors, so daily moisturizing still helps.
