A body lotion for dry skin may seem simple to choose, but products vary considerably in texture, ingredients and ease of use. A rich lotion can feel soothing on rough elbows and knees, while a fast-absorbing body lotion may be better suited to everyday use after showering. The face also has different needs and preferences from the body.
If you focus only on terms such as “intensive care” or “long-lasting hydration”, you may end up buying a product that does not feel comfortable after all. Pay particular attention to the ingredients list, whether the product contains fragrance and which area it is intended for.
Brands sometimes state that their lotion hydrates for 24, 48 or 72 hours, for example. Such a result may have been established under specific conditions through the brand’s own research or a stated instrumental or clinical test. This does not automatically mean that every user will have the same experience.
So also consider:
Check the INCI list for Parfum and individual fragrance ingredients such as limonene, linalool, geraniol and citronellol. A product may be described as suitable for several skin types while still containing fragrance ingredients. If you are specifically looking for a fragrance-free body lotion, it is better to choose a formula that is clearly described as fragrance-free in both the product information and ingredients list.
Facial skin may react differently to oils, silicones, fragrance ingredients or a richer texture. If you are looking for a face cream for dry skin, choose a product specifically intended for the face and neck. A body lotion may seem practical, but it is not necessarily the right choice for everyday use on your face.
A hydrating body lotion often contains glycerine, hyaluronic acid or similar moisture-binding ingredients. Glycerine, for example, appears near the top of the ingredients list in many formulas. A body lotion with hyaluronic acid may be worth considering if you are mainly looking for a light, comfortable feel on the skin.
For dry or very dry skin, nourishing and occlusive ingredients are also relevant, such as:
A nourishing body lotion is usually richer than a gel-like lotion. This can feel pleasant on dry shins, hands, heels and elbows, but may be less comfortable if you want to get dressed immediately after applying it.
For a body lotion for sensitive skin, a fragrance-free formula is often a sensible first choice. However, bear in mind that “fragrance-free” describes the formulation, but does not guarantee that every skin type will tolerate the product without problems. If in doubt, first test a small amount on a limited area of skin and follow the warnings on the packaging.
A fast-absorbing body lotion is well suited to a busy morning routine. A thicker lotion may be a better choice for evening care or targeted use on very dry areas. Ideally, apply body lotion to clean skin, for example after showering, and massage it in gently. Wait until the lotion has been sufficiently absorbed before getting dressed if the packaging advises this.

We have put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
For everyday use, applying it once after showering is a practical starting point. With dry or very dry skin, you may need to reapply, for example to your shins, hands, knees and elbows. Always follow the instructions on the packaging.
Fragrance-free may be a useful selection criterion if you want to avoid fragrance ingredients. It is not a guarantee that a product will suit everyone. Check the full ingredients list, test a small amount first and stop using it if irritation occurs.
Check the expiry date, batch information and period after opening on the packaging. Keep the lotion tightly closed, out of direct sunlight and according to the stated storage conditions. If the scent, colour or texture changes significantly, do not continue using the product.
