Whether you have dry skin on your legs, rough patches all over or have rough elbows, applying the right body lotion is key for hydrated, soft, and smooth skin.  

Not only do you need the right body lotion for your skin-type and concerns, you should also know the right way and time to moisturize your skin.  Here we’ll discuss the best times to apply your body lotion for the best results!

• After a shower or bath - One of the best times to apply body lotion is after showering or a bath.  Since water evaporates quickly after showering, which can leave skin feeling dehydrated, it’s important to seal in moisture by applying your body lotion immediately after a shower or bath when your skin is damp.  We recommend Arganatural Tightening Retinol Body Lotion for youthful, supple, velvety soft skin layered with the skin nourishing benefits of Arganatural Anti-Aging Retinol Shower Gel.  

• After shaving - When you shave, it not only removes unwanted body hair, it also removes the top layer of dead skin cells.  To soothe any razor burn or irritation and to protect newly exposed skin cells from dryness, we recommend applying a body lotion like Arganatural Firming Collagen Coconut Body Lotion layered with Arganatural Firming Collagen Coconut Shower Gel for optimal results.  

• Before working out - Planning on working out outdoors?  Prep your skin by applying a lightweight, non-comedic moisturizer first.  This is particularly beneficial when the air is dry and the weather is cold by helping to reduce the dryness that sometimes occurs post-workout. 

• After sanitizing or washing your hands - With all the hand washing and sanitizing these days, during COVID, it’s important to replenish moisture and prevent chapping and irritation.  We recommend applying lotion immediately after you wash or apply sanitizer.  

• Before you go to bed - Since moisture is pulled out of the skin while we sleep, applying a body lotion before you go to bed can be very beneficial to helping your skin stay moisturized.  

• After exfoliating your skin - Just like shaving, exfoliating or using a body scrub in the shower can remove the top layer of dead skin cells.  Therefore using a body lotion is a must to help strengthen the moisture barrier of the newly exposed top layer of skin.  We recommend Arganatural Brightening Vitamin C Body Lotion layered over Arganatural Brightening Vitamin C Shower Gel for healthy, glowing skin.
