1. Look for Hydrating Ingredients
The first step to choosing the right moisturiser begins with reading the product label. Keep an eye out for hydrating ingredients like shea butter, almond milk, aloe vera, and glycerin. These botanical beauties are known to quench the skin's thirst and keep dryness at bay. Even our most iconic British Rose Body Lotion is enriched with shea butter.
2. Get That Texture Right
While winters are all about rich, thick, buttery concoctions, summers scream weightless, non-greasy gels. A body moisturiser for summer should thus be lightweight, non-sticky, and non-greasy. Our Almond Milk Creamy Body Lotion checks all these boxes, and is perfect for dry to sensitive skin.
3. Find Fast-Absorbing Formulas
Summer in India can get really sticky, so much so that you're sweating halfway out of the shower. For days like these, you need a summer body cream that melts into your skin within seconds. Our body yogurts come in a gel-cream-like texture and absorb instantly, even on damp skin. From juicy Dewberry to zesty Satsuma, there are plenty of options to choose from.
4. Extra Points for Instant Freshness
When the days are long and draining, you need something to uplift you. And what's better than a scented body moisturiser that you can sniff on your skin anytime for a pick-me-up? If you want something scent-sational, try our The India Edit. From pomegranate and black grape to hibiscus and lotus, these floral-fruity scents elevate your mood and skincare routine.
5. Layer with a Matching Fragrance
Choosing the best body moisturiser in summer isn't just about getting the consistency or formula right; it's also about matching it to your fragrance. That's basically the art of fragrance layering. Select a moisturiser with scents that go with your perfume; they can have the same fragrance notes or notes that complement each other. For instance, our White Musk Body Lotion pairs perfectly with our White Musk EDP.
