The 13 Best Body Lotions for Dry Skin this Winter

From an exfoliating serum to a hardworking all-natural cream, here are 13 lotions to soothe and hydrate skin this winter….

Nourishing eye creams and lip scrubs are top of mind as winter settles in, but while the face is important, the hunt for the best body lotion should be a top priority, too. With dryer skin on the rise, it’s a high time to practice some head-to-toe self-care.

“Winter is a tough time for people who suffer from dry skin. Harsh cold weather, combined with dry ‘heated’ air can make normal routines of daily showers one more complicating factor in keeping skin supple,” says dermatologist Paula Bourelly, MD of Olney Dermatology.

Because of this, Bourelly has a few soothing suggestions especially for those with dry skin this season. Step one? “Cut the temperature down in the shower and limit the frequency and duration.” If your skin is extremely dry, she recommends you move from lotions and oils to heavier creams and even ointments, because they have more hydrating oils than a body gel or regular lotion does. And last but not least, “apply moisturizing products after dabbing off excess water from the bath or shower, while your skin is still moist. This helps product penetration better and seals in moisture,” she says. 

Luckily, just in time for the chilly forecast, some of the best new body formulas are created with the goal of softer, silkier skin in mind. Here are 13 below-the-chin hydrators—from body oils, to soufflés, and organic shea butter concoctions—to help you find the best body lotion so that you can put your best legs (and arms) forward.
