With so many body lotions on the market, which list countless ingredients with unpronounceable names, it's difficult to determine which components to look for—and which to stay away from.
Dr. Aya Ahram adds, "Look for a mixture of ingredients to help target moisture retention and water loss across the skin barrier: humectant ingredients—which draw in water from the air into the skin—such as glycerin and hyaluronic acid, as well as occlusives, which seal water in the skin, like petrolatum and dimethicone." She also recommends "emollients, which provide moisture to the skin, like shea butter and ceramides."
Then comes the fun stuff. Your formula might come with antioxidants. “Vitamin E, C, and green tea extract for example have a dual purpose in preventing free radical damage and may also brighten and moisturize skin,” says Dr. Kikam. Your body lotion might have retinol in it as well, which is ideal for anti-aging. Or, maybe there’s an acid in the mix. “These are wonderful for those with acne prone skin, body hyperpigmentation, KP, and even psoriasis.”
Meanwhile, if you're combatting body acne, Dr. Ahram advises using "a face moisturizer that is non-comedogenic or oil-free so that the moisturizer does not make acne worse."
What to Avoid
In terms of what to avoid, Dr. Ahram says, "In general, I don't love fragrance because it can cause irritation in people with sensitive skin or atopic dermatitis, as they already have a fragile skin barrier and I prefer to avoid ingredients that can cause irritation. Some can tolerate it without any negative side effects, but in general I do not recommend products that are heavily fragranced."
Double board-certified dermatologist and psychiatrist Dr. Amy Wechsler also recommends "avoiding ingredients such as lactic acid and glycolic acid" if you're looking for something highly moisturizing that won't irritate your skin.
Finally, Dr. Greenfield says, “I like to see that there are no drying ingredients like alcohol or any strong fragrances that may cause reactions in the skin."

“Sun damage, natural aging, and hormonal changes will all result in dry skin and contribute to itchy and aged appearing skin,” explains board-certified dermatologist Dr. Nava Greenfield. “Using a body product regularly can help mitigate these factors and keep skin healthy.”
There’s an option for everyone—some are fragranced, others are not, a handful leave a shine on the skin, some dry down matte, a few are luxe splurges, while some you can scoop up at the drugstore.

Yesterday the girlfriend complained wordy about her partner - and found no end in her litany.
Of course she is right, because the man is indeed extremely exhausting.
My resolute grandmother would have said: Where love falls - and if it falls on the dung.
But I'm listening patiently.
But the girlfriend is not open to arguments - and I feel the headache slowly rising within me.
Finally she has let off enough steam - and I massage my throbbing temples.
But that is of no use and I have the spontaneous idea to spray my fingertips with Vitaninee - and then to massage them further.
And lo and behold, the orange - grapefruit melange lights up my cloudy forehead, the pain gives way - and the thoughts can flow freely again.
Jasmine and lily also lighten the mood again.
Ambergris appears sweetish and patch deep and soothing.
Once again, Biotherm is proving to be a good therapeutic agent.
I'm going to send a bottle of vitamin tea to that troubled friend
