🌿 What is Body Butter 🌿
Body butter is a thick moisturizer that has a strong scent and lasts longer than lotion and cream. It is used to moisturize, lubricate, and nourish the skin. Many spas and dermatologists recommend using body butter on the lips, hands, elbows, legs, and feet to retain moisture. Different types of body butter have varying textures, rigidity, and absorbency and can leave a slight oily residue depending on the formula and skin type. Typically, body butter is made by combining carrier oils and butter, along with other specialized ingredients that differ between brands.

🌿 What is Body Lotion 🌿
Skin lotions are similar to creams because they contain more water, which provides a smooth application and easy absorption into the skin. They are typically manufactured with a water-based formula, making them very lightweight. Lotions are thicker in nature than creams but still have a relatively fluid consistency, similar to that of a milkshake. :-)

Body milk is the thinnest moisturizer of the three. It is more liquid than lotion. If you were to pump a pea-sized amount of body lotion into your hand, it would hold its shape. In comparison, a pump of body milk would spread into a thin layer. Body milk can be used in summer as it is lighter and does not give a heavy feeling to your skin. If you don't like thick applications and want to apply and go - this might be your product!

The answer to your question will depend on your skin type and specific concerns. Body butter is thicker than lotions and creams, so they can help reduce moisture loss by forming a barrier on the skin. However, they don't provide direct hydration. To get the most out of your body butter, it's best to apply it to damp skin. As a rule of thumb, lotions usually work well on oily skin and creams on drier skin.
Body butters are thicker, so they may stay on top of your skin longer, which can help reduce the loss of moisture but won’t directly moisturize. In this case, applying the body butter to the pre-dampened skin is best.
Water or substances that contain a lot of water, such as herbal infusions, hydrosols, or aloe, really moisturize skin.

If your skin is extremely dry, apply the product to damp skin, or alternatively, select a product with high water content, such as a lotion or a cream to moisturize.

Oils and butter will lubricate and soften the skin, helping to prevent further loss of moisture by creating a barrier.
