You know what can be tricky? Finding a body moisturiser that you *actually* want to put on your skin. And if you're anything like me, you usually avoid it. Because getting out of the shower and slapping on some thick, greasy, slippery s**t is just never a good time.
Feels gross! Sweats right off! Sticks to your clothes!
Sigh.
Watch: The gross ingredients hidden in your cosmetics. Post continues below.
The good news is, there are actually tons of great formulas out there, and you don't have to drop a whole heap of money to get something good - you just gotta know what to look for.
That's why we've pulled together a helpful guide of all the best (affordable) body moisturisers that don't feel gross on your skin - ones that have been tried and tested by real women in the You Beauty Facebook group. (Have you joined? You totally should!).
Off we go!
Garnier Intensive 7 Days Rich Repairing Lotion with Shea Butter, $6.99.
"I bought this one after someone on here recommended it and I keep going back to it. It’s really good and you can get it at the supermarket." - Ingrid.
Bondi Sands Body Coconut Moisturiser, $13.50.
"Bondi Sands moisturiser is amazing!" - Dani.
Vaseline Intensive Care Spray & Go Moisturiser Dry Skin, $9.99.
"I was swimming daily for a year in a heated therapy pool for 45 minutes every day before work. I only had 30 minutes to get dressed and drive to work. I found the chlorine and heated water was stripping the oil from my already dry winter skin. I discovered Vaseline's Intensive spray-on from the chemist.
"Brilliant product. I would lightly towel dry, spray it on my legs and arms and it would soak in immediately, so I could get dressed right away. It's so cheap and very convenient. The cap rotates to allow the spray, so it wouldn’t open up and squidge all over the inside of the bag." - Denise.
Nivea Body Nourishing Lotion, $7.99.
"The original Nivea in the dark blue bottle is great." - Angela.
"I mix it with a little bit of Neutrogena body oil for extra moisture." - Casey.
MooGoo Natural Full Cream Moisturiser, $14.50.
"This is the best. Not greasy, soaks into the skin." - Jen.
Aveeno Daily Moisturising Sheer Hydrating Lotion, $6.49.
"This is one of my staples - I buy it all the time. It melts into your skin instantly, leaving it feeling soft and hydrating. No stickiness!" - Monica.
Eco Tan Organic Winter Skin, $29.95.
"Eco Tan winter skin absorbs nearly immediately!" - Allishia.
QV Intensive Body Moisturiser, $24.49.
"I have the most annoyingly dry skin, but I HATE that gross thick feeling of most body moisturisers on the market. But QV Body Moisturiser is a winner in my books - it's lightweight, absorbs instantly, and keeps my skin feeling incredibly smooth and hydrated." - Erin.
