Dry skin requires lotions that will support your natural skin barrier and sink in, rather than sit on top of your skin. According to MindBodyGreen, a firm favorite amongst those with dry skin is Biossance Squalane + Caffeine Toning Body Lotion. Though its name may seem a little intimidating, this lotion has many benefits. The caffeine is derived from green tea, which will soothe and revitalize skin as well as tone, whereas squalane is derived from cane sugar and is designed to work with your skin as though it was produced by your body. To finish, superstar ingredient niacinamide will help smooth over any texture you have.
Another great option is African Botanics Svelte Cream. It has a goosebumps-inducing price of $160, but is recommended for mature skin that doesn’t respond well to other lotions. Its hefty price tag is matched by luxury and unusual ingredients like milk thistle, horsetail, and marine red seaweed extract. Amongst the other ingredients are guarana and spirulina, too, both green plants that will improve the firmness and softness of your skin. This cream also purports to sculpt the skin, hence the word ‘svelte’ in its name.
