Summer is the season where you need to be monitoring your skin to ensure that it’s adequately moisturized and hydrated. Believe it or not, moisturizing is as important to skin as water is to our body. Moisture keeps our skin smooth, soft and maintains a healthy skin barrier. However, one key thing we need to remember is that body wash can dry out our skin, so this is where lotions come in.

CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion


Whenever you step out of the shower, lotion up while your skin is damp to allow the moisturizer to spread and absorb easily. To tackle extremely dry skin, experts say you should be using daily moisturizers that keep skin conditioned. In the case of dry skin, CeraVe Daily Moisturising Lotion is your product of choice, as its scent- free moisturizer is best for dry, sensitive skin. It also doesn’t feel too heavy and absorbs well.

JERGENS® Daily Moisture Dry Skin Moisturizer

The next lotion in line is Jergens Daily Moisturizing Lotion, an instantly hydrating formula that leaves skin silky smooth with an alluring scent. It includes enriched silk proteins and citrus extracts to provide a multi-layer of moisture to keep skin smooth 24/7.

OGX Hydrating Argan Oil of Morocco Creamy Oil Body Lotion (13 fl. oz.)

Another go-to lotion is the Hydrating Argan Oil of Morocco Body Lotion, which is known for nourishing the body to get soft, glowy skin. The lotion has its own healing properties which help to cover up different skin conditions, particularly dehydration. Using this lotion day and night helps restore skin for a supple touch.

Vaseline® Intensive Care™ Essential Healing Lotion 

For more healing options, try out Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion, a clinically proven budget friendly lotion which guarantees smoothness and hydrates the body the whole day, whatever the weather and skin situation is. It’s also friendly to all skin types.
