The Best Drugstore Body Lotions to Combat Your Crazy Flaky Dry Lizard-Like (You Get It) Winter Skin

We get it, you’re sensitive and so is your skin. Luckily, this gentle solution will get to work on your flaky legs and feet without risk of irritation. It is so easy on you that it can even do wonders for your dried out face when fragrance-filled lotions don’t make the cut.

What’s better than treating sad summer skin? Preventing it in the first place, that’s what! Use this oatmeal-based lotion with SPF 15 on the daily for one less worry. Raves one Amazon customer, “Super light-weight sunscreen moisturizer. My dermatologist asked me if I was wearing sunscreen during my last visit. I was like “no… Should I be?” Of course, she said yes. Applying sunscreen throughout the day, everyday, will keep you from aging (even if you work at a desk all day). This moisturizer isn’t oily at all and I can re-apply it all day without getting an oily sheen on my face. I wish they sold it in smaller tubes for my purse…”

Though most lotion formulas are made for post-shower application, this lovely buy takes it one step further with a formulation meant for in-shower use. Ain’t nobody got time for luxury lounging while you lotion down your bod, so get to gettin’ while you condition your hair.

Tight and right is the order of every day in our book, and this firming lotion does its best to give the appearance of firmer and tanner skin (praise hands). Let’s be real, we need every little bit of help we can get which is why avoiding looking like the ghost of summers past is your best bet no matter your skin tone.

You’ve got enough going on without worrying about breaking out from your lotion, so turn to this gentle formula for all your summer skin needs. Shea butter and avocado oil do wonders to ensure that your skin won’t freak the f*ck out this season.

Intensity can be a good thing when it comes in the form of a beauty buy that contains extra-strength agents in a non-greasy formula that work overtime on extremely far-gone skin (no judgement).

For modern mamas who like a clean, fuss-free routine, allow us to introduce you to Billie. Their Dry-Bye Body Lotion is here to come in clutch when you need it most. Delivering 24/7 hydration, it can be applied the moment you step out of the shower. It’s not sticky, and thus, won’t leave behind any icky residue. While shea butter delivers moisture, grapeseed oil helps to lock in hydration. If you have easily irritable skin, allow chamomile to provide ~calming~ effects.

Lead by setting a good example for your little ones from day one. When it comes to sun damage, we don’t like to mess around—if you plan on being outside, then sunscreen is non-negotiable. Designated for face and body, Supergoop!’s Play Everyday Lotion (with SPF 50) protects against UV damage and dehydration. It’s super lightweight and perfect for all skin tones. Raves one happy customer, “I like this for my face, but I LOVE this for my body. The texture is perfect for slathering all over with ease. The formula is highly sun-protective, and because it is low viscosity (thinner, but not watery), it spreads really easily on larger body surfaces like the legs and abdomen.” And it’s great for year-round use, too. She adds, “In the fall and winter, this is a great facial sunscreen because it gives just a hint of dewiness. In the summer, this is my go-to body sunscreen because it spreads well, smells great, and has consistently protected me from sun damage.”

Got dry patches or exceptionally itchy skin? Spot-treat your scalies with Exederm’s Flare Control Cream. It blends ingredients like hydrocortisone and chamomile extract for extra soothing; it’s also hypoallergenic for those with sensitive skin. It’s safe kids and teens, too ( really, anyone over the age of 2, though we recommend consulting with the doc). Many customers even say that it works better than other treatments they’ve tried. “I’ve been having horrible issues with perioral dermatitis and nothing was working, even antibiotics,” says one reviewer. “Took a chance and bought this…almost CLEARED UP IN JUST 3 DAYS!” Adds another, “This product did what prescription steroid-based creams could not! You don’t need to use much for relief, so it is very cost-effective.”
