Body Lotion

Body lotion for men

A body lotion or body moisturiser nourishes and hydrates your skin with essential nutrients and extracts. A body lotion is essentially a moisturiser for your body. The difference is that a body lotion is specifically developed for the thicker skin on your body. The skin on your face is thinner and requires slightly less hydration, which is why a regular moisturiser is not suitable for your body.

Benefits of a body lotion

The main purpose of a body lotion or body moisturiser is to hydrate your skin after cleansing. Cleansing skincare products can leave your skin feeling a bit dry or tight, which is why it is important to finish with a natural body lotion. Men’s skin is a bit thicker than women’s, so it is maybe even more important for men.

In addition, a body lotion or body milk helps to firm your skin. Men with dry skin in particular can greatly benefit from a well-hydrating and natural body lotion. Otherwise, you may experience red patches or itching after showering.

If, as a man, you suffer from dry skin, then a body lotion is even more important compared to men with a normal skin type. With dry skin, you can opt for a slightly thicker or more oily body lotion for extra hydration.

When you have dry skin, your skin tends to overcompensate and produce more sebum. At first, your skin is too dry, but then it may even start to appear greasy. It is therefore important to restore the moisture balance of your dry skin with a good body lotion. Your skin will then also look healthier and better.

When to apply body lotion for men?

As mentioned, body lotion is the final step in good body care. So you apply it after getting out of the shower. Make sure your skin is properly dry and then apply a body lotion. If your skin is still slightly damp, the body lotion will not absorb properly.

After showering and using a body wash or scrub, your skin may feel tight or dry. Itching may also occur. Especially if you suffer from dry skin, a body lotion is essential to restore your skin’s moisture balance.

Even if you have slightly oily skin or impurities, it is advisable to use a body lotion after showering. It may be tempting to dry out your skin in the hope of reducing spots, but your skin will then produce more sebum to compensate, which in turn leads to impurities and acne.
