Lotions vs Creams vs Gels

Body moisturizers are available in three main forms: gels, lotions and creams. Gel moisturizers have a jelly-like consistency and typically feel cool against the skin upon application. Generally, gels are the lightest moisturizers available. Lotions have a creamier consistency and have a high concentration of water, making them lightweight and easy to apply. Like lotions, creams have a rich texture. With a higher concentration of oils and less water, creams provide ample hydration for the skin.

Oils for Deep Hydration

If your skin is severely parched, body oil can be an excellent choice of moisturizers. Oils are made primarily out of oil-based ingredients and contain very little water. As a result, they have a slick, thick consistency and deliver a large dose of moisture to the skin. You can apply body oils all over to address dryness or apply them to trouble spots like your elbows, feet and knees. Body oils can also be used to lubricate the skin and enhance home massage experiences. Some people even add a few drops of body oil to bathwater to create a hydrating soak.

Options for Every Skin Type

At Walgreens, you'll find body moisturizers to suit all skin types.

• For oily skin, look for oil-free or noncomedogenic products that supply moisture without leaving the skin greasy and congested.
• Moisturizers designed specifically for dry skin are usually lotions and creams and contain large amounts of hydrating ingredients to quench the thirst of parched skin.
• If you have sensitive skin, body moisturizers that are hypoallergenic are an excellent solution. These moisturizers are typically free of ingredients that are known to cause irritation, such as perfumes.
• Natural and organic moisturizers are available for those who are sensitive to synthetic ingredients and who are striving to use more natural products
• Sun protection moisturizers contain sunscreens that protect skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays. These products can be used in place of standalone sunscreen or with conventional sunscreen as an added layer of protection.

Solutions for Special Concerns

If you're struggling with a skin care problem, you can find body moisturizers that can address your concerns while rehydrating your skin.

• Top brands offer formulas for soothing eczema, psoriasis, redness, sensitivity and itchy skin.
• Firming moisturizers promote more youthful skin with ingredients that support collagen production.
• Brightening moisturizers can reduce the prominence of dark spots, stretch marks and other types of discoloration.
