Body moisturiser that will make me want to use it?

[BettyBoopBetty]

I need to moisturise my body more, my legs are very flaky but I can NEVER be bothered! I have tried different creams before and also oils but was hoping to get recommendations. I am looking for something hydrating but lightweight, easy to apply, not like a paste and ideally with a nice smell too, although I appreciate this is subject to personal taste. Open to spend up to £15.

My go to and the one I buy over and over (despite occasionally breaking away and trying something else) is original Vaseline Intensive Care in the yellow bottle. Nothing works better than that for me.

Brazilian bum bum cream it smells incredible, and the little ones are within your budget I think on cult beauty

Came to say this. The spray on ones are literally the only ones I use. I have a bathroom cabinet full of lovely lotions that I just can't make myself use.

My favourite is the Vaseline intensive care with aloe Vera. I've also used aveeno but it took a bit longer to sink in for me

Second the Vaseline aloe one, soaks in really fast and smells nice but not too strong. Got rid of my dry skin in a few days!

Agree with Avon Skin So Soft. Smells nice, leaves skin very soft and is supposedly good for keeping midges and mozzies away.

I bloody love this https://www.stories.com/en_gbp/beauty/bath-body/body-lotions/product.body-lotion-turquoise.0159479043.html the scent, to my nose, is warm, wonderful holidays. I also really rate this https://www.sephora.co.uk/p/Palmers-Cocoa-Butter-Formula-Exfoliating-Body-Lotion-400ml and I probably notice the most difference in the softness of my skin after using this one but the Other Stories one is a delight to use.

My aunty swears by Skin So Soft to keep away the mozzies - she used it for years when she lived in the Caribbean.

My fave. Smells amazing!

Interesting some of the responses here, a lot of moisturizers turn my lizard legs even more lizardy, particularly dry oil sprays

Like others on here, I need something that is convenient to handle (usually with creamy hands), comes out conveniently and soaks in quickly. Cant stand things in a tub, got to undo the top, find somewhere to put the top, top falls on the floor, usually where theres a clump of cat hair or rolls under the bed, Im rushing for work in the morning so need something with a pump I think

I'm very particular about body lotion, which I use every morning after my shower or my skin is horrendously dry.

I really dislike fruity smells, coconut smells and the smell of Nivea. Body butter and soufflés aren't for me either.

My favourite by far is Avalon Organics (available from Ocado). I love the lavender one most of the time, but in winter often opt for rosemary. They do a peppermint one which is very refreshing in summer. It comes in a pump bottle which is handy, and it is very easily absorbed (not greasy and not sticky).

I love the Vaseline intensive care cocoa butter one. So easily absorbed and maintains my fake tan

This is it OP:

Is there one that sort of smells like cucumber or palmolive soap or something like that, nice and fresh?

Shower oil is the answer.

L' Occitane almond is lovely

This Works perfect leg body butter, when on sale you can get a big pot for £20, its the best I have used.

I got mine from M&S summer beauty bag last year and loved it. I usually dont spend much on body lotion but this one is really worth it.

@IBelieveInAThingCalledScience a few have suggested it… am very curious now, it’s just so pricey! Might try the small version first. I assume there isn’t need for anything else afterwards even though you are supposed to rinse it off??

I dont buy creams or lotions anymore, ive discoveted cold pressed sweet slmond oil. Versatile, can use for hair, skin, nails anything really.

It absorbs really well, not overly greasy. Its worked wonders on my neck and chest area. Its well priced too

To add, no real smell but you could add essential oils easily if you wanted fragrance

Looking at the Other Stories one linked by pp, love the sound of the Midnight one. Might have to order !

Body oils are good. If anyone sees a nice body cream mousse let me know. A few years ago Johnson and Johnson did a great baby oil scented body mousse but of course they discontinued it! That absorbed brilliantly.

I know you say OP you want posh but my DM uses a cucumber and aloe (botanics/natural) lotion from Boots. It always seems to be bought but the scent is nice and she says it soaks in quickly and easily.

@BettyBoopBetty
I use the L'Occitane Almond Shower oil.
I would definitely have to use body lotion or body cream after as I love the scent of it but don't find it that moisturising.

I absolutely HATE applying body lotion until I bought Bum Bum Firming Oil. What I love about it is you can apply it in the shower immediately after turning the water off. You don’t have to get out into the cold.

And my skin feels and smells lovely 😊

Neutrogena Body Mist.

Be careful with shower oils, they can make the shower really slippery and dangerous!

I use the Neutrogena Deep Moisturising body lotion (dark blue and white packaging in a big pump bottle). Lasts ages, smells clean, absorbs well and moisturises well without leaving skin greasy or spotty. I use it every 2-3 days in summer and every day in winter when my skin is drier
