Sephora UK’s Best Body Lotions and Moisturisers for Dry Skin

Brand new, Badalada is already one of our fave body lotions for summer. Infused with Hyaluronic Acid, Brazil Nut Oil and Cactus Pear Extract, this weightless formula delivers no residue and no wait, just silky hydration that sinks in fast. In true Sol de Janeiro style, it’s even packed with that warm Cheirosa 62 scent that lingers like a beach day. Whether you're fresh out of the shower or headed into the heat, this is your daily dose of moisture and mood-boosting fragrance in one.

Tried and tested: “I am a big fan of Sol de Janeiro scents and the OG Cheriosa 62 is my signature scent for summer. I was so thrilled when I saw this come out. It’s a lighter version of the body cream and the smell lasts all day.” - Customer Review

If you’re looking for a fast-absorbing, straight-out-of-the-shower daily body moisturiser, the Salt & Stone Santal & Vetiver Body Lotion hydrates without the hassle of drying time. Infused with Seaweed Extracts and Niacinamide, which helps restore skin exposed to the elements (much needed in the colder months), it nourishes deeply. The result is silky, soft skin with a subtle, spa-like scent every.single.day.

Tried and tested: “Silky smooth, smells great! Long-lasting when I apply it after showering.” - Tassia, Content Executive at Sephora UK

Fans of Sol de Janeiro’s much-loved Brazilian Bum Bum Cream should get to know Delicia Drench Body Butter. The clue’s in the name here, so expect a seriously delicious moisturising experience with notes of Sugared Violet, Vanilla Orchid and a velvety-smooth finish. Packed with prebiotic Hibiscus and Brazilian soothing complex, it locks in long-lasting moisture by repairing the skin’s protective barrier and supporting the microbiome. Bom Dia indeed!

The best body moisturisers for dry skin are often super-charged full of super ingredients. Cue the Sephora Collection All Day Body Hydrator Moisturising Balm. Made with 93% ingredients from natural origin, it contains a skin-drenching duo of Shea Butter and Mango Butter that nourishes even the most parched of skin. Non-greasy and easily absorbed, it delivers smooth, supple texture, and all-day-long moisture - tick, tick.

The perfect body lotion for those that suffer with keratosis pilaris (KP), First Aid Beauty’s KP Smoothing Body Lotion has its own special superpower: 10% Lactic Acid (AHA). This helps reduce the appearance of hard, rough bumps by resurfacing the top layer of skin, while Urea, Colloidal Oatmeal and Ceramides deeply hydrate. Revealing silky smooth skin with every swipe. It’s a FAB multitasker. 

Tried and tested: “After one application, my arms were so smooth!! No bumps anymore. I have only used this a couple of times now but love this product.” - Mansha, Social Media Executive at Sephora UK

Fragrance and fuss-free, Necessaire’s The Body Lotion is full of good quality ingredients that just glide onto the body. A firm favourite with the Sephora crowd (just read the reviews, we LOVE it), it’s a skin firming cream that’s repurchased over and over again. A multi-vitamin and Peptide body moisturiser, this lightweight lotion brings ALL the hydration. 

Tried and tested: “This is hands down the best body lotion I’ve ever used (and I’ve tried A LOT!). Especially in the winter I have dry skin and this lotion easily keeps my skin happy and soft all day.” - Victoria, Senior Social Media Executive at Sephora UK

The best body lotion for dry skin and even sensitive skin types, L’Occitane’s Shea Ultra Rich Body Cream does exactly what it says on the tin. Formulated with a high concentration of Shea Butter - we’re talking 25% - it intensely nourishes and soothes the skin as well as strengthens its protective barrier. Rich in texture, but rapidly absorbed, from the very first time you use it, your skin will feel super-soft and comforted.  

Tried and tested: “The texture and overall performance of this body butter is great. I like how rich and luxurious it feels on the skin and it was moisturising for my dry skin.” - Olivia, CRM Executive at Sephora UK

A rich body moisturiser that claims to ‘hug the skin with hydration’ (we love that), Rare Beauty’s Find Comfort Hydrating Body Lotion is nutrient-infused and nourishing. With vitamins and antioxidants like Niacinamide, Peach Flower Extract, and Ashwagandha, it freshens and hydrates for up to 24 hours, as well as brightening and renewing your skin’s vibrancy. Glow get it!
