what body lotions are you into?

Amelie · Kenneth Cole

I love the DuWop ButterCream moisturizer.

esquiress · Marc Jacobs

oh i love the b&b pure simplicity line too--my fave is ginger

dc · Dooney & Bourke

I like body lotiions that smell yummy. On a daily basis I use either Fresh lemon sugar, which is very lightweight and cool (I wear the matching eau de toilette as well, and the body wash - I am really into coordinating scents) OR Laura Mercier creme brulee body souffle (which goes nicely with my hanae mori perfume and philosophy vanilla cupcake body wash). Also love the matching hand creme in that Laura Mercier "gourmand" line.

When I travel, those things are too bulky to take with me, so I always get a 99 cent travel tube of Queen Helene cocoa butter body lotion - it smells like summer!

Lately, I can't get enough of Sympathy for the Skin from Lush. It makes skin feel so silky soft! The consistency is thinner than most lotions which is great in the warmer months when lotion can feel waxy/sticky on your skin. This lotion sinks right in and the fragrance is delicious, not too candy sweet, and really and truly lasts all day. Men seem to love it too. I always go back to this one.

Thanks for the suggestions!

The body lotion I love using is Aveeno Body Lotion. They are all great and I love the oatmeal smell.

i use a tiny bit of baby oil....not super model style....like teeeeny tiny bit.

on the days i shave (i use baby oil as i'm shaving) then nivea shimmer lotion. i like the baby oil the best though (and it's inexpensive).

i used to use bliss lemon and sage body butter, but i figured my money was better spent elsewhere. $32 at shopbop

I love and swear by The Body Shop body butters in Mango, Seasame, and Shea. They work so well for my extremely dry skin and they do not leave a greasy feel.

scarlett · Marc Jacobs

ooh, body lotion. i could spend all my money on nice ones. right now i'm using lubriderm, but just saw a commercial for the new ones from dove, so i'd like to try those next.

favorites: kiehl's creme de corps; i haven't tried the new, lighter version, but want to

Bliss Vanilla Vergamot Body Butter smells delicious and feels so nice. They just came out with a new Plum scented one.

Vanilla + Bergamot Body Butter

Seashells · Dooney & Bourke

They aren't fun, but I love Aveeno and Curel (Both for Extra Dry skin). If you have dry skin, like I obviously do, the fun smelly stuff really won't work (and I don't have money). But these actually leave you smelling great and not really perfumy!

Seashells, you may want to consider Nature's Gate Papaya Body Lotion.

I have extremely dry skin and used to use the heavy-duty Eucerine lotion until I found the one I currently use. I couldn't be more pleased with my soft skin since making the switch about a year ago. The Nature's Gate stuff in Papaya smells great; it can be found at health food stores or at your regular grocery store down the organic isle.

I second Drew's recommendation; I LOVE this stuff! It's all I use.
