Carolina Herrera Moisturising Lotions, 200 ml

Product Information

If you're on the year-round sunscreen bandwagon—meaning you slather on SPF rain or shine, no matter the temperature—why not kill two birds with one stone and slather on a body lotion with SPF like Supergoop’s Play? If you’re concerned about skin aging, this might be a good option to try. It works to tighten the skin and restore elasticity and leaves behind a youthful-looking glow.

Occlusive agents, such as petroleum jelly or jojoba oil, sit on the skin’s surface and create a physical barrier against moisture loss to maintain hydration. This body cream is super luxurious—both in consistency and fragrance. It contains nourishing cupuaçu butter, hydrating coconut oil, and skin-conditioning squalane to soften the skin while also imparting a subtle coconut cream fragrance that smells just like a vacation. The best time to use a body moisturiser is immediately after a bath or shower, when your skin is damp. The oils in the product trap the water on the skin, keeping it moist. Remember to exfoliate first to remove any dead skin cells. How to choose a body moisturiser

Oily: Choose lightweight, oil-free lotions. These tend to be labelled as ‘non-comedogenic’, meaning they won't clog pores.We test to see which body lotions will actually keep your skin hydrated by rounding up a wide range of moisturizers (21 in our last test) and narrowing down the field based on initial moisturization capabilities. In the Lab, we measure hydration changes on skin with the Corneometer device (which measures skin's hydration) before and after lotion application. Humectants, such as glycerine and hyaluronic acid, absorb water from the atmosphere, underlying skin cells and any other products you’ve applied to the skin’s surface, helping it to retain moisture.

We must admit, this buy didn't work great on our ultra-dry, sensitive, eczema-prone skin—especially during the colder months. We had to apply it several times for some results, but we did appreciate the feeling of it gliding on, spreading easily, and absorbing instantly. Overall, this product is better suited for those who don't identify with ultra-dry skin. Who It’s For Lin TK, Zhong L, Santiago JL.
