Everyone talks about dry skin in the winter, but it’s a summer problem too as anyone who is donning this season’s cute little sundresses and sandals can tell you. But instead of all-over deep moisturizers, body butters are a great solution to soften those tough areas like elbows, knees, and feet.
Here are a few of my favorites:
That budget-friendly line, e.l.f. scores big with this Vanilla Coconut Conditioning Body Butter ($3). While the coconut fragrance is strong, don't let it deter you because it quickly fades upon application. The thick, creamy butter is made with sweet almond and jojoba oils, coconut butter, and coconut milk, among other ingredients.
A luxurious blend of wholesome ingredients in Boots Mediterranean Body Butter ($20 for gift collection) produces a simple, healthy beauty routine that captures the Greek Isle in a jar. Pistachio oil and shea butter condition and moisturize while milk extract leaves skin silky soft.
