Whether you prefer a dry body oil or a rich body lotion, the optimal time to apply is immediately after a shower or bath. In the UAE, where shower water can sometimes be drying, applying a moisturizing formula on damp, towel-dried skin helps seal in hydration. For areas prone to extra dryness like elbows and knees, feel free to reapply throughout the day.

Environmental factors in the UAE, such as high temperatures and hard water, can contribute to skin feeling tight or taut. If you have dry skin, look for thicker body creams or formulas like our cocoa butter lotion that contain rich emollients to smooth and soften the skin’s texture.

To maintain a healthy skin barrier, apply a body lotion after every shower. Skipping this step can lead to significant dehydration, especially if you spend a lot of time in air-conditioned environments. Reapply as needed to keep your skin looking smooth and radiant.

Even in the UAE, the cooler months and persistent AC can zap moisture from your skin. During this time, you might want to switch to a heavier cream or a cocoa butter lotion to seal in moisture. In the peak of summer, a lightweight, fast-absorbing body lotion is often the preferred choice.

Body oils are high-concentration formulas (often botanical) that deliver lasting moisture. Since they don't usually contain water, they are best applied to damp skin. You can even layer them under your favorite Creme de Corps for an extra boost of hydration.

Body butters are the thickest moisturizers in our collection, formulated with high concentrations of butters and oils. They are powerhouses for defending the skin against dehydration. Use them all over or target specifically dry patches to replenish the skin’s surface.
