A moisturising lotion works best when applied on damp skin. This helps the cream and the vital nutrients present in it to permeate the surface of your skin and hydrate it. The results are almost always immediately visible. Body lotions are to your skin what water is to your body. These lotions help to make your skin soft, supple and smooth to the touch. What you do need to keep in mind is that you should always choose to buy a cream that is best suited for your skin type. The Himalaya Herbals intensive moisturizing body lotion is an intensive moisturising lotion that works best for people with dry and extremely dry skin.
