I’ve almost finished my beloved Sanctuary Spa wet skin body lotion. I’d like to try something different, does anyone have any recommendations please?

Aveeno, nothing makes my skin as soft. I hate the ugly bottle, not as nice as many other brands.

Clemdfandango · 28/06/2026 21:39

Jo Malone Lime, Basil & Mandarin. Smells devine..

Soap and glory body butter

OnlyMabelInTheBuilding · 28/06/2026 21:41

Depends if you’re looking for a nice smell, or effectiveness?

I’ve just gone back to the yellow Vaseline after about 20 years. Absorbs really quickly, works well.

Palmers Cocoa Butter

deeahgwitch · 28/06/2026 21:44

Palmers Coconut is lovely.
I can’t stand the smell of the Cocoa Butter one.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 28/06/2026 21:45

Nivea coconut & monoi oil body lotion.
Neutrogena body lotion.

Milothebunny · 28/06/2026 21:45

Aveeno for me

stargirl27 · 28/06/2026 21:46

I love naturium and josie maran. I also like eos which I buy when I’m in the US.

EnglishGirlApproximately · 28/06/2026 21:47

Does it need to be a lotion or can it be a butter? Highly recommend Saltair body butter from Space NK, vanilla is my favourite.

Youspurnme · 28/06/2026 21:48

Aveeno all the way for me.

I saw the title of your thread and came on to recommend the Sanctuary Spa wet skin moisturiser!

ExcitingRicotta · 28/06/2026 21:51

I agree with the others that Aveeno is great for just moisturising, especially if you have dry skin but if you’re looking for something more elevated that is a treat to use I would recommend L’occitane ultra rich body cream.

Jumbojem · 28/06/2026 21:53

I like Weleda, lots of types/scent so can choose one to suit, good natural ingredients. My favourite though is the lavender body oil on slightly damp skin (not a body lotion though!).

HoldMyWine · 28/06/2026 21:54

Nivea q10
or weleda skin food

GnTplease · 28/06/2026 21:56

The garnier body lotion in a red bottle is incredible. Caroline Hirons recommends it too so high praise. Doesn’t have much of a scent but makes my skin SO soft and hydrated.

BashfulClam · 28/06/2026 21:57

Aveeno is tested on animals so I won’t touch it. I use palmers oil on wet skin. Oil on damp skin is the best moisturiser you can use, if I’m feeling bougie i use my shimmering oil from l’occitane.

Youspurnme · 28/06/2026 21:48

Aveeno all the way for me.

Not animal friendly though.

Silverbirchleaf · 28/06/2026 22:01

Neurogenic Norwegian formula body moisturiser

M and S body butter

Madickenxx · 28/06/2026 22:08

For me it’s Body Love by Tropic Skincare. Natural ingredients, no animal testing of any kind and makes the skin so soft and hydrated. Not cheap but a little goes a long way and totally worth it to me.

Dove pro-age niacinamide. Not fancy, no particular scent, but a great moisturiser, dries quickly and is cheap as chips, so happy to slather it on.

VerbenaGirl · 28/06/2026 22:13

Just discovered this and am loving it: Q+A Hyaluronic Acid Post-Shower Moisturiser

I just looked into this one. Apparently there’s a vanilla version too, have you tried that one?

I like the Vaseline spray in the green can
