Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between body lotions, body yogurts and richer moisturisers like creams?
Body lotions and body yogurts (such as our Almond Milk Body Yogurt and Mango Body Yogurt) are lighter and fast-absorbing, ideal for everyday use or for warmer weather, while richer moisturisers and creams deliver deeper hydration for very dry skin.
How do I choose the right moisturiser for my skin type?
- For very dry skin, choose richly hydrating formulas like Shea or Coconut body lotions. If your skin is dry and sensitive, Almond Milk products soothe without irritation. For everyday, lightweight hydration, fruit-scented yogurts like Satsuma or Mango are great.
Are these moisturisers suitable for sensitive skin?
- Yes - products with gentle ingredients such as Almond Milk are specifically nurturing for sensitive or easily irritated skin.
What benefits do "fast-absorbing" moisturisers like Body Yogurts offer?
Body yogurts (such as Almond Milk, Mango, or Satsuma) are lightweight and absorb quickly without greasiness, making them ideal if you want hydration that doesn't feel heavy. Perfect for mornings, on-the-go use, or warmer weather.
Which moisturiser is best for very dry or dehydrated skin?
Richer lotions and creams, especially those with Shea or Coconut, help lock in moisture and soothe dryness over longer periods. These are excellent for dry elbows, knees or wintery weather.
Can I use body moisturiser every day?
Absolutely yes. Daily use after showering enhances skin hydration and helps retain softness. Lighter textures like body yogurts suit every-day use, while richer lotions suit daily hydration for drier skin types.
Are these products vegan and cruelty-free?
Most body lotions and moisturisers from The Body Shop are vegan and cruelty-free which aligns with our ethos of ethical sourcing and Community Fair Trade ingredients. Try our British Rose, Shea and Almond Milk ranges.
How long does hydration last from these moisturisers?
Hydration duration varies by formula: richer creams with ingredients such as Shea and Coconut boost longer moisture retention, while light yogurts hydrate effectively without heaviness. Both leave skin feeling soft.
Can body moisturiser help with dryness from seasonal changes?
Absolutely. In colder or drier seasons, richer lotions from Shea and Coconut can protect against dryness and flakiness, while lighter textures such as Satsuma Body Yogurt help maintain comfort when skin isn't deeply dry.
Do these moisturisers come in different scents and finishes?
Yes - you can find a range of scents from fresh citrus like Satsuma and Pink Grapefruit to floral British Rose and fruitier Mango, allowing you to choose based on preference as well as hydration needs.
