Every winter my skin get’s irritated – dry and itchy…. it’s because of my love for hot showers! I know what you are thinking , hot water is not good for your skin!!!
But hear me out,
I compensate by applying a rich, thick layer of body butter!
And if you like hot showers, you will want to apply a body butter too!
Body butters are beneficial for dry skin because they are emollient and occlusive. This means that they help soften skin and keep moisture locked in! When shopping for one, some key ingredients to look for are oils like jojoba and avocado oil. Also, look for shea butter, glycerin, fatty acids. Below are 7 body butters that will leave you with the softest skin everrr!

This body butter has the most delicious scent and is one I get every summer. With notes of salted caramel, pistachio and vanilla it’s an addictive warm & spicy scent.

First Aid Beauty
KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub with 10% AHA
I wanted to include a body scrub because exfoliated skin will absorb any body butter much more! This is one of my top picks for body scrub, it has dual exfoliation. It Physically exfoliates with pumice buffing beads while glycolic and lactic Acids act chemically to safely loosen the top layers of the skin.
