Having milky, shea-butter-soft skin is a goal each of us wants to achieve. But, with a routine of exercising, working, and packed calendars, we somehow end up giving our body less attention than it needs. Add to it the onset of the Indian summer which brings with it humidity, scorching heat, hot shorts, and lots of lemonade. In this period, the size of pocket fan to purchase and the type of moisturiser to choose both become immensely important. A body lotion that hydrates our skin sufficiently and leaves a pleasant aroma to cover up all that unwanted perspiration becomes the need of the hour.
Having said that, choosing a body moisturiser today is like choosing which Netflix series to binge-watch – while there’s a range of products for every skin type under the sun, the multitude of options in the market today have made it difficult to choose which one is best suited for our needs. Keeping this in mind, we have curated a list of body lotions that could promise you the best hydration for your skin.
