Need motivation to moisturise? Well, there’s nothing like a brand new butter, lotion or cream to kick-start your commitment to smooth, silky skin, so we’ve rounded up some of the very best (as raved about in your reviews!). Whether you’re after one that soaks into the skin, smells divine or is ideal for the whole family, you’ll find it in the gallery below.
#1 Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion – Cocoa Glow
“If the awesome caramel smell doesn’t inspire you to try this product, then I don’t know what will. I found that it soaks in really well without a greasy after feel, and the fragrance – wow! I will keep buying this product on the fragrance alone.” – Gogrl600
#2 QV Cream
“I have very dry and sensitive skin and so do my kids, and this is the only moisturiser that soothes and doesn’t irritate. It absolutely lives up to its claims, and is therefore the only moisturiser I buy now!” – Sweetest Cherry in an Apple Pie
#3 St. Ives Naturally Indulgent Body Lotion
“I don’t have super-dry skin so I only need something light, and this product is perfect! It absorbs quickly and I can put pants on straight away without that sticky feeling. I was expecting an overpowering coconut smell, but that’s not the case. It smells just like a tropical holiday in a bottle!” – Imi11
#6 Nutrimetics Nutri-Rich Moisturising Body Satin
“I think anyone who has ever tried this product will agree it is amazing! It leaves your skin soft and glowing and smelling of sweet apricot. Our Nutrimetics rep called it ‘sex on legs’ because it makes you feel and look amazing!” – Rachelmac
#7 Dove Essential Nourishment Body Milk
“I use this after my shower to retain as much moisture as possible. I have had problems in the past with body moisturisers being too thick or too heavy, but I find this one is great. It is absorbed quickly and does not make you feel like there is a heaviness over your skin.” – Gail157
#8 Yes to Carrots Super Rich Body Butter
“This body butter is amazingly rich and creamy, yet easily and quickly absorbs into your skin to leave it beautiful and soft. I love using this all-year round. It’s great in winter because of the heaters and great in summer when you’re spending too much time outdoors and drying out your skin. The scent is really nice, too.” –rang
#9 Sukin Hydrating Body Lotion
“Love. Just love! This moisturiser is so delicious, I love that it is vegan and the smell is to die for. It hydrates your body well, leaves a pleasant scent and is great for those with skin that isn’t too dry.” – Erin101
#10 Dermalogica UltraRich Body Cream
“This cream is amazing. It’s so luxurious to wear – your skin will thank you! A small amount goes a long way, so the bottle should last a while. It takes a while to rub in but it leaves your skin with a glow. It’s well worth the money.” –NellieLahiff
#11 JERGENS Daily Moisture Dry Skin Moisturiser
“Smooth, soft, silky moisturised skin is what you’ll get when you use this. The way it sinks into my skin so quickly is fantastic – making quick work of body moisturisation.” – softness
#12 Avène Cold Cream Body Lotion
“I have very, very dry skin and this moisturiser is so hydrating and leaves it with a silky-smooth feel. It can appear a little thick, but has a non greasy effect. I do like to spend time in the sun and it is the ONLY moisturiser that actually rehydrates my skin. Beautiful product.” – Kellielyons1
#13 Aveeno Stress Relief Moisturising Lotion
“I adore body products and this is one of the best lotions on the market at an unbelievably low price. The body lotion absorbs quickly into my skin (a must as I hate having to wait) and my skin feels soft and beautiful. I’m normally not keen on lavender but, fortunately, the fragrance isn’t overpowering at all.” – Roxymisha
#14 Palmer’s Rapid Moisture Spray Lotion – Cocoa & Shea
“I’ve been using this moisturiser for a few months now and I think I’ll be using it for the rest of my life! It smells amazing, it’s so easy to apply (even to the backs of my legs and arms), and it sinks in quickly. “ – TheDevineOne
