Raise your hand if you moisturize your face daily but you’re not as diligent about moisturizing your body (guilty!). We get it—it can feel like an extra, unnecessary step. But according to board-certified dermatologist Dr. Teresa Song, it’s best to apply body lotion every day. “Moisturized skin maintains a healthy skin barrier, preventing irritation and premature aging,” she says. And, if you have eczema-prone skin, Song actually recommends moisturizing multiple times a day.

We tested more than 80 moisturizers in our daily lives over four weeks to find the best options for a variety of skin types, skin concerns, and preferences. We evaluated each one based on its texture, ingredients, consistency, absorption, effectiveness, and overall results. We also consulted with Dr. Teresa Song and double board-certified dermatologist Dr. Maya Thosani to learn more about what you should look for in a primo body lotion for your specific needs. These are our top picks that performed well above the rest.

Beste voor oudere huid: Biodermal P-CL-E Kalmerend

Voordelen:

Nadelen:

• Twee keer per dag smeren voor optimaal effect

Daarnaast werkt de bodylotion hydraterend. Een gehydrateerde huid voelt soepeler en elastischer aan. De elasticiteit van je huid vermindert namelijk bij het ouder worden. Het product heeft verder ook kalmerende eigenschappen. Voor een optimaal effect moet je wel twee keer per dag smeren.

Geschikt voor: Droge en gevoelige huid | Zonder parfum: Ja | Inhoud: 400 ml

Voordelen:

• Verrijkt met shea boter, arganolie en hyaluronzuur
• Hydraterend
• Natuurlijke ingrediënten
• Lekkere geur
• Handige en stijlvolle pompflacon

Nadelen:

Verder bevat de lotion hyaluronzuur. Dit zuur wordt toegevoegd aan huidverzorgingsproducten omwille van zijn hydraterende en beschermende eigenschappen. De stof komt van nature voor in het lichaam. De lotion heeft een warme, kruidige geur. Doordat de bodylotion ingrediënten van goede kwaliteit bevat ligt de prijs ietsje hoger.

Geschikt voor: Alle huidtypes | Zonder parfum: Nee | Inhoud: 430 ml

How lotion works

Your skin is an organ. Its job is to keep the outside out and hold your insides in.
Your skin’s structure is similar to that of a wall: It has bricks (dead skin cells) and mortar (oils and water) and a sealant (more oils) on top. Just because the skin cells are dead doesn’t mean they are useless—they contain proteins and fats that trap water, which keeps your skin healthy.

When skin gets dehydrated, two things happen: Allergens, microbes, and anything else that can get under your skin have an easier time doing so, and skin can’t shed its excess cells properly. “Our skin really is our first defense against the outside world,” said dermatologist Dr. Papri Sarkar. The result is dry, rough, scaly skin. “Ashy skin” is what a too-thick layer of dead skin cells looks like.

If you want to add moisture to your skin, you have to apply moisturizer to wet skin to trap excess water inside.

This means by the time you notice that you have dry skin, your skin’s self-healing processes are already overwhelmed. Ideally, you use a lotion to prevent dry skin before it happens. If you wait until it’s already dry, lotion can protect your skin while it heals, but does little to actively heal it.

Moisturizers add a thin layer of oil to the skin’s surface to replace the sealant and prevent water from evaporating. So if you want to add moisture to your skin, you have to apply moisturizer to wet skin to trap excess water inside. According to dermatologist Dr. Cynthia Bailey, ideally, your skin will already be soaked—wet for more than five minutes—and you’ll apply the moisturizer within three minutes (our other two dermatologist experts agreed).

The research

We interviewed three dermatologists: Dr. Angela J. Lamb of Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, Dr. Papri Sarkar of Boston’s Brookline Dermatology Associates, and Dr. Cynthia Bailey of Advanced Skin Care and Dermatology Physicians in Northern California. They filled us in on how lotion works and how to prevent dry skin. We read dozens of academic papers and picked through the results of clinical trials to get up to speed on the latest research about how lotion works.

The best lotion for you is the one you’ll use consistently. If you’ve found one that you like and that’s cheap enough for you to use regularly and preventively, it’s probably good enough.

On the other hand, have you noticed that your lotion doesn’t seem to make a difference? You might be using it wrong. Many people avoid lotion because it’s too greasy, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Our picks are the least-greasy lotions we tested—read on for all you need to know about greasy lotion and how to avoid it.
