NIVEA 
Body Lotion

Lots of people suffer from dry skin in the winter months; some have an inherent predisposition to dry skin, or simply want to give their skin a great deal of 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's worth it and your skin will thank you. Taking care of skin under the shower really quickly 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's no need to apply more body lotion after drying. Your 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 on these areas therefore needs a great deal of care, especially in winter, 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 high water content, which means it provides your body above all 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 you apply the lotion, leaving a refreshingly cooling sensation on your skin. This helps give you a feeling of freshness and well-being, particularly during the summer months.

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