NIVEA 
Body Lotion

Lots of people suffer from dry skin in the winter months; some are simply prone to it or just want to give their skin plenty of care and attention all year round. To help prevent dry skin, you should apply a nourishing body lotion or body milk every day – ideally straight after you’ve had a shower or bath. It does take a little time, but it’s worth it and your skin will thank you for it. If you want to take care of your skin really quickly while you’re in the shower, NIVEA In-Shower Body Milk and NIVEA In-Shower Body Lotion make it easy for you. The innovative formula of NIVEA In-Shower products is activated by water – so you no longer need to apply any extra body lotion after drying off. Your elbows, knees and shins are areas that suffer particularly from dehydrated skin. This is because the skin has very few sebaceous glands and very little subcutaneous tissue there. The skin on these areas therefore needs lots of care, especially in winter, when the sebaceous glands produce less oil.

The difference between body lotion and body milk usually comes down to the balance of water and oil: while body milk has a very high fat content, body lotion has a high water content and mainly provides your body with moisture. Body milk is generally richer, which makes it particularly suitable if you have dry skin. Body lotion, on the other hand, 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 cool sensation on your skin. This gives you a lovely feeling of freshness and well-being, especially during the summer months.

Gentle strokes and refreshing fragrances – your daily moisturising routine with a body lotion can really invigorate your body and mind and help your skin stay beautifully soft and well cared for. So take a few minutes every now and then for this little ritual and pamper yourself and your skin with a gentle massage.
