Natural Spa Body Lotion
From LoveToKnow Skincare
A natural spa body lotion is the feel-good, do-good alternative to the traditional moisturizer. Often derived of healthy ingredients, these lotions provide the skin with additional benefits that aren't found in basic versions.
A Purely Pampering Treat
Expect more from a body lotion that contains natural ingredients. In contrast to the drugstore offerings that often feature additives and almost always have an unpronounceable name (or two) on their ingredient lists, natural lotions are pure and good for your skin.
Be wary of companies that tout their products as "natural," yet aren't actually all-natural at all. Steer clear of anything that contains propylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate or parabens, just to name a few of the ingredients that are often debated in the industry.
What should you look for in a natural body lotion? You'll find a vast selection of decadent moisturizers with ingredient lists that may read like the menu at a pampering spa! Everything from carrots and honey to lemon and pomegranate has made its way into indulgent beauty products. Let's take a look at the best natural spa lotions on the market today.
Choosing an Indulgent Natural Spa Body Lotion
Once you've used one, you'll be hooked! That's because your skin will positively soak up the indulgent ingredients loaded in these luscious lotions. Often enriched with certified, organic botanicals and soothing, healing additives (such as aloe and chamomile), these lotions go the extra mile to ensure that every day feels like a trip to the spa.
Nature has so much to offer us, including the ingredients that make these spa lotions stand out. Which one you choose is just a matter of your skin's unique needs. Are you dry and itchy? Do you turn to light moisturizers in favor of heavy-duty creams? Check out these recommendations for a head start.
Hydrating Body Milk
Nurture your skin with this Hydrating Body Milk by Bidwell Botanicals. Available in 13 scents, there's something to suit men and women alike. Best of all, though, is that it channels ancient Japanese skincare. It's loaded up with raw honey and rice bran oil (a powerful antioxidant) and boasts a lightweight consistency.
Rosemary Mint Body Lotion
Cool down overheated skin or drift off to sleep with the soothing scents of rosemary and peppermint wafting around you. With this Aveda Rosemary Mint Body Lotion, you'll reap the benefits tenfold.
