Body lotion is primarily used for post-bath skin care, leaving skin soft, fresh, and silky, while moisturizing, fragranced, and nourishing.
Using body lotion moisturizes the skin, replenishing it with necessary moisture and nutrients, preventing dryness, and forming a protective film on the skin's surface to slow moisture loss. Body lotions are now available in many different types and with various functions, such as full-body hydration, full-body smoothing, whitening, keratosis pilaris treatment, after-sun repair, and fragrance.
When using body lotion, you can use appropriate massage techniques to better nourish the skin. After applying the lotion to the body, open your palms and massage in circular motions on various parts of the body to promote better absorption of nutrients.
Body lotion isn't just for winter. To maintain soft, smooth, and fair skin, you should apply body lotion year-round. In cold winter weather, you can skip the massage step to prevent catching a chill. To keep your skin soft and smooth, eat more fruits and vegetables and drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated.
