Hydrating Body Cream for Dry Skin

Clarins' collection of body lotions is designed to visibly firm your skin and enhance hydration. Each formula is enriched with plant-powered ingredients that work to replenish moisture, smooth texture, and leave skin feeling soft and supple.

Shea butter helps to soothe and deeply nourish, making it ideal for dry or rough areas. Aloe vera provides lightweight hydration, delivering lasting comfort without a greasy feel. Plant-based essential oils support the skin’s barrier, helping it retain moisture throughout the day.

Whether you’re looking to soothe dry skin or visibly enhance your skin’s suppleness, Clarins offers some of the best body lotions to keep your skin radiant.

Body lotion application is simple. Here are simple instructions to make the most out of your moisturizer:

1. Warm it between your hands to bring your lotion to skin temperature. This approach ensures that the skin accepts it immediately.
2. Smooth from top to bottom. Using both hands, rub the moisturizing lotion in starting with your ankles and making your way up.
3. Repeat the smoothing process a second time to ensure it is absorbed across your body.

Keep your body moisturizer in-view in your bathroom so you remember to apply it daily after a shower or bath.

The Clarins body care collection offers targeted contouring treatments that enhance the actions of our moisturizers. Discover a range of neck creams, skin- and body firming lotions, and contouring formulas that target cellulite, stretch marks, or visible signs of skin aging.

Clarins formulas combine sensorial textures with the aromatic essences of plant extracts to craft many of the best scented body lotions. Our Body Lotions leave skin soft, satin-smooth and with a delicate smell for a total feeling of well-being.

Eau Ressourçante Comforting Silky Body Cream—with relaxing essential oils—nourishes, moisturizes and perfumes the skin with an enticing woody-floral scent that creates a feeling of calm that lasts all day. At the end of the day, soothe and refresh tired feet and legs with Energizing Emulsion.

Does dry or dehydrated body skin need daily care?

Just like your face, your body skin is thirsting for nourishing moisture—the lack of which can result in tightness, dryness, fine lines, wrinkles, and discomfort.

The Clarins Laboratories have developed a range of targeted, intensely moisturizing lip care and body care products that meet the challenges of all skin types and concerns. To name two: Body-Smoothing Moisture Milk, with moisture-rich Aloe Vera extract, hydrates skin for 48 hours.* Newly formulated Moisture-Rich Body Lotion softens and comforts very dry skin with nourishing Organic Shea Butter, and soothing Organic Raspberry Water.

Apply Clarins body cream and body care products from ankles to waist, and from wrists to shoulders, to keep your body skin in silky-smooth condition.

When should I use body moisturizers & lotions? Should I use them right after a shower?

Right after a shower is in fact the best time to apply body lotion and moisturizing face creams. Use it while your skin is still damp to absorb moisture captured during your shower and ensure your skin stays hydrated all day long.

How often should I apply body lotion for optimal hydration?

For optimal hydration, it's recommended to apply body moisturizer daily.

What ingredients should I look for in a body lotion for dry skin?

When selecting a body moisturizer for dry skin, look for ingredients like Shea Butter, Aloe Vera, and plant-based oils. These components are known for their hydrating and soothing properties, helping to alleviate dryness and visibly improve skin texture.

Can body moisturizers help with skin firmness and elasticity?

Yes, the best body lotions for firming skin are formulated to smooth and tone your skin. For instance, Clarins' Tonic Hydrating Oil-Balm contains plant extracts that visibly firm, tone, and improve elasticity, enhancing the skin's overall appearance.

Are there body lotions suitable for sensitive skin?

Clarins offers some of the best body lotions for sensitive skin. Products like the Body-Smoothing Moisture Milk with Aloe Vera are formulated with gentle ingredients that soothe and hydrate.

What's the best way to apply body lotion for maximum absorption?

To maximize absorption, apply body moisturizer after showering when your skin is still slightly damp. Warm a small amount of product between your hands and gently massage it into the skin using circular motions. This technique enhances penetration and stimulates circulation, leaving your skin feeling nourished and revitalized.
