Luxuriating body moisturisers your skin will thank you for

By Alyssa Dhaliwal, Kayce Teo & Shazrina Shamsudin -
It’s easy to neglect the rest of your body when we’re strapped for time, and even more so when we live in a humid climate that doesn’t leave our skin feeling all that parched. But the reality is that our bodies will need consistent hydration over time.
As we go about our days and our skin’s natural protective barrier weakens from aggressors like pollution and sun damage, our skin has a tougher time staying hydrated and will begin to feel dry or even sensitive, which is when we not only need to rehydrate it, but restore those protective barriers.
To help you out we’ve put together a number of recent body lotions, serums and creams that are all going to get your skin back to an optimum level of hydration.
With an option for every budget and skin type, here are ten body lotions your skin is going to want to drink right up.
