Body creams, lotions, butters and oils for soft, nourished skin. Choose rich textures for dry skin or light lotions for daily use.

Body moisturisers for every skin need

Moisturising your body regularly helps keep skin soft, supple and comfortable, and it makes a noticeable difference to how skin looks and feels, especially in cold weather or after sun exposure. This collection brings together body creams, butters, balms and moisturising treatments, from rich formulas for very dry skin to light, fast-absorbing textures and luxurious scented creams.

Textures explained

• Lotion: light and quick to absorb, ideal for daily use.
• Cream: more nourishing, a good all-year choice for normal to dry skin.
• Butter: rich and thick with plant butters, best for very dry areas and winter.
• Balm: protective and concentrated, perfect for rough patches.

Ingredients that help dry skin

Humectants such as glycerin and hyaluronic acid draw water into the skin. Emollients like shea butter, cocoa butter and plant oils soften and smooth. Ingredients such as ceramides support the skin barrier, while urea and lactic acid gently soften rough, flaky areas. For sensitive or itchy skin, fragrance-free dermatological creams are the most comfortable choice.

How to get the most from your moisturiser

Apply after showering while your skin is still slightly damp, and massage in using upward strokes. Exfoliating once or twice a week removes dead skin, which helps moisturisers absorb better. Do not forget areas like elbows, knees and the backs of your hands, which tend to dry out first.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I moisturise my body?

Once a day after showering is enough for most people. Very dry skin may benefit from a second application in the evening.

Can body moisturiser help with stretch marks?

Keeping skin supple can make it feel more comfortable, but no cream can guarantee to prevent or remove stretch marks.
