Dry skin and its care
Many people suffer from dry 
skin in the winter months; some have an inherent predisposition to 
dry skin or want to provide their 
skin with a great deal of 
care and attention the whole year round. To prevent dry 
skin you should apply a nourishing body lotion or body milk every day – preferably directly after showering or taking a bath. It is true that this takes a little time, but it is worth it and your 
skin will thank you. Taking 
care of 
skin care 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 – there is no longer any need to apply more body lotion after drying. The elbows, knees and shins are areas that suffer particularly from de
hydrated 
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.
Body lotion or body milk – what's the difference?
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, with the result that it provides the body above all with moisture. Body milk is generally richer, which therefore 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 re
freshingly 
cooling 
sensation on the 
skin. This ensures a feeling of 
freshness and well-being during the 
summer months in particular.
Moisturising: an experience of well-being for body and mind
Gentle stroking and re
freshing
 fragrances – daily moisturising with a body lotion invigorates body and mind and ensures that our 
skin remains beautiful and well 
cared for. So devote a few minutes to this short ritual from time to time and pamper yourself and your 
skin with a gentle massage.
