NIVEA 
Body Lotion

Many people suffer from dry skin in the harmattan and cooler months; some have an inherent predisposition to dry skin or simply want to give their skin extra care and attention all year round. To help prevent dry skin you should apply a nourishing body lotion or body milk every day – preferably directly after showering or taking a bath. It does take a little time, but it is worth it and your skin will thank you. Quick and easy care in the shower is made possible by NIVEA In-shower Body Milk and NIVEA In-shower Body Lotion. The innovative formula of NIVEA In-shower products is activated by water – so there is no need to apply more body lotion after drying off. The elbows, knees and shins are areas that suffer particularly from dehydrated skin. The reason for this is that the skin has very few sebaceous glands in these areas and very little subcutaneous tissue. The skin there therefore needs a great deal of care, especially in the colder season, when the sebaceous glands produce less oil.

The difference between body lotion and body milk usually has to do with the proportion of water and oil: while body milk has a very high fat content, body lotion has a higher water content, meaning it mainly provides the body with moisture. Body milk is generally richer, which makes it particularly suitable for dry skin. Body lotion has a cooling effect after application. This is due to the high water content: the water evaporates after applying the lotion, leaving a refreshing cooling sensation on the skin. This helps give a feeling of freshness and well-being, especially during the hot season.

Gentle strokes and refreshing fragrances – daily moisturising with a body lotion invigorates body and mind and helps keep our skin beautiful and well cared for. So take a few minutes for this simple ritual from time to time and pamper yourself and your skin with a gentle massage.
