Best quick drying body lotion

Can anyone recommend a quick drying body lotion/oil/moisturiser my sorts.

I’m currently using a Drunk Elephant serum sample which can be used on your face and body which is LOVELY but I don’t think it would last long if I bought it purely for my body.

The skin on my body is really dry but not dry enough for things like The Body Shop body butters, even their newer yoghurt type lotion take too long sometimes, especially if I’m going to work and don’t have time to let them sink in before getting dressed.

Ideally I’d love something from Boots so I could have a sniff first as I’m a bit funny about smells, but it just needs to be really quick drying and hydrating so if I need to buy online I will.

The Sanctuary Spa Wet Skin lotion is fantastic, you put it on in the shower and dry yourself off, that's it. This is the original (at Boots), but it's been so successful they've brought out different varieties so you should be able to find one you like.

I like the dry oil sprays. I use an almond one from Babaria (not sure it's available in the U.K. - look in French / Italian / Portuguese / Spanish supermarkets or drugstores if you're travelling there soon) and there is a more expensive one in The Sanctuary range which you can buy in Boots.

The Clarins body serum is really good. Absorbs instantly, smells nice, removes dead skin and is super softening.

I love The Sanctuary wet skin one too. Game changer in the mornings before work.
Also tried the jelly but it didn't sink in so well and felt a bit sticky.

Aveeno cream soaks in quickly and the moisturising effect is very long lasting. It doesn't really smell if much, either.

I'd second the vote for Aveeno. The hand cream is excellent too.

I use an oil spray when wet. Love the smell on the fenjal spray. I do have to use a heavy duty cream on my shins at bedtime as they are really dry.

Thank you all, I’ll have a look for both The Sanctuary and the Aveeno one in Boots tomorrow

Oh and there’s a salon five minutes along the road who use and sell and Clarins in their treatments so I’ll look for that too.

Neals Yard. Lovely and dries quickly.
