The best body moisturisers for always-silky, smooth skin

12 of our favourite body moisturisers, reviewed
Body moisturisers probably aren’t the sexiest of beauty products, but they do have an important role to do – keeping your skin looking and feeling smooth and nourished from neck to toe. While this is one skin care step where you generally don’t need to splurge (we happen to know some really amazing budget-friendly buys!), it is a step you shouldn’t skip. And with these beautiful formulas, we have a feeling you will gladly slather your skin day and night.
If you’re wondering about the difference between what is a body lotion and what is a body moisturiser, generally lotions are more lightweight, then comes moisturisers, and then you have body creams, which are the richest of the three. Dry skin will likely benefit most from a cream or even body butter (the thickest consistency), combination skin may prefer a moisturiser, and oily skin might find a lotion works best for them. However, every brand uses these terms differently so unfortunately it’s not guaranteed this will be true in all circumstances. Sometimes a lotion is just another word for a moisturiser.
