Body Lotion
Pamper your body with rich body lotion
Silky soft, supple skin radiates pure vitality and brings a touch of luxury to your body. However, while facial care is often given top priority, many people unfortunately neglect their body care. However, a high-quality body lotion can counteract this neglect and provide your skin with much-needed moisture and care.
Why is a body lotion so important?
The skin is our largest organ and protects the body from external influences. At the same time, it constantly loses moisture due to environmental factors such as cold, wind or dry heated air. Without regular care, it becomes brittle, rough and prone to tension and redness. A rich body lotion, on the other hand, provides the skin with valuable nutrients and moisture. It is quickly absorbed without being greasy and leaves the skin feeling pleasantly moisturised.
How do I find the right body lotion?
When buying a body lotion, you should consider a few factors to find the ideal product for your individual skin type:
Skin type and consistency
Dry skin needs a rich, buttery body lotion or body cream that provides intensive moisturisation. Look out for moisturising ingredients such as shea butter, glycerine or urea.
Sensitive skin should be cared for with a fragrance-free, moisturising lotion with soothing ingredients such as panthenol or allantoin.
Combination skin feels most comfortable with a light, not too rich body lotion.
Oily skin prefers a gel-like, not too creamy lotion.
Ingredients and additives
Natural oils and butters such as almond oil, avocado oil or shea butter provide intensive care.
Urea (urea) and glycerine bind moisture and smooth the skin.
Herbal and plant extracts such as aloe vera, camomile or rosemary soothe irritated skin.
Vitamins such as A, C and E strengthen the skin barrier.
For sensitive skin, pay attention to fragrance-free products without additives such as colourants.
Fragrance and additional benefits
Many body lotions have a floral, fruity or fresh fragrance for an all-round pampering fragrance experience.
Some lotions offer additional benefits such as a firming effect or a tanning effect.
Application and care routine
For optimum effect, you should apply the body lotion to slightly damp skin directly after showering or bathing. This allows it to bind moisture better. Gently spread the lotion over the arms, legs, décolleté and the entire body using circular movements.
A daily body lotion application after showering is ideal. Make sure to apply the lotion generously until it is completely absorbed. For very dry skin, a second application in the evening may be advisable.
Special body lotions for targeted applications
In addition to the classic body lotions for daily use, there are numerous special products for specific needs:
Firming body lotions
Lotions with additives such as caffeine, menthol or special plant extracts are designed to give the skin more elasticity and prevent the formation of cellulite. Massage the lotion into the problem areas with vigorous movements.
Tanning body lotions
These self-tanning lotions contain colouring substances that give the skin a natural glow. Make sure you spread the lotion evenly to avoid streaks.
Body lotions for babies and children
Special, very mild lotions without fragrances and colourants are ideal for sensitive baby skin. They moisturise without irritating.
Decorative body lotions
Body glitter or shiny body lotions set festive accents and give the skin a shimmering glow for a special occasion.
Complementary body care products for an all-round pampering programme
Body lotions are the basis for thorough body care. Supplement your skincare routine with other products for an all-round pampering experience:
Body butters and oils
For an extra portion of care, reach for a rich body butter or a nourishing body oil. These products are absorbed particularly deeply into the skin and provide it with intensive moisturisation.
Body scrub
A gentle exfoliation once or twice a week removes dead skin cells and prepares the skin perfectly for the subsequent body lotion application.
Bath additives
Pamper yourself with a fragrant bubble bath, a relaxing bath ball or a nourishing bath oil. They turn bathing into a sensual pampering experience.
Decorative care products
For festive occasions, set elegant accents with a shimmering body glitter, a shiny body cream or a body spray.
Body care sets to give as gifts
A beautiful body lotion in a set with other care products is a wonderful gift idea for a woman or man who likes to pamper themselves. Go for a harmonious fragrance or choose a line for special skin needs.
Typical body care sets contain, for example
Body lotion
Shower gel/cream
Body butter/oil
Bath salts/bath balls
Care gloves
Massage brush
Sustainable and natural body lotions
Environmentally conscious consumers are increasingly focussing on sustainability when it comes to body care products. Many manufacturers therefore offer body lotions based on natural ingredients and in environmentally friendly packaging.
Some features of sustainable body lotions:
Natural, plant-based fats and oils instead of mineral oils
Natural fragrances instead of synthetic flavours
Certifications such as "Natrue", "Ecocert" or "BDIH"
Plastic-free or recyclable packaging
Production with renewable energies
Fair working conditions in the supply chain
Natural cosmetics brands such as Lavera, Sante and Weleda are regarded as pioneers for sustainable body lotions.
Make your own body lotion
If you want to know exactly what your body lotion contains, you can even make it yourself. You only need a few ingredients and containers:
Vegetable oils such as almond oil, coconut oil etc. as a base oil
Shea butter, cocoa butter or similar as the fat content
Natural fragrances such as essential oils
Emulsifier such as emulsion wax for binding
Preservatives such as vitamin E
Glass jars or pump dispensers for storage
With a little practice, you can make your own personalised body lotions - without any unnecessary additives.
