Whether you prefer a dry body oil or a lightweight body lotion, the optimal time to apply is immediately after a shower or bath. In the Saudi climate, where skin can feel instantly dry after washing, applying a moisturizing formula on damp, towel-dried skin helps seal in hydration. For areas prone to extra dryness like elbows and knees, reapply throughout the day as needed.

Environmental factors in Saudi Arabia, such as extreme heat and the arid desert air, often lead to skin feeling tight or taut. If you have dry skin, look for thicker body creams or formulas like our cocoa butter lotion that contain rich emollients to smooth and soften the skin’s surface effectively.

To maintain a strong and healthy skin barrier, apply a body lotion after every shower. Skipping this step can lead to significant dehydration, especially with constant exposure to air conditioning. Reapply lotions as needed on dry areas or all over to keep skin looking smooth and healthy.

Body Lotions: These deliver lightweight hydration and absorb quickly, making them ideal for the hot Saudi summer when you want your skin to feel fresh and non-greasy. Body Creams and Butters: Formulas like Creme de Corps offer a richer, more comforting texture. They contain higher concentrations of emollients and natural butters, perfect for deep repair and a more indulgent feel.

Even in Saudi Arabia, the winter months and persistent indoor AC can zap moisture from your skin. During this time, you may prefer switching to a heavier cream or a nourishing cocoa butter lotion to seal in moisture. In the peak of summer, a lightweight body lotion that absorbs easily is usually the best choice.

Body oils are high-concentration formulas that deliver lasting moisture and a radiant finish. Since they don't typically contain water, they are best applied to damp skin to help lock in hydration. You can also layer them under your favorite Creme de Corps for enhanced moisture during particularly dry spells.

Body butters are thicker moisturizers formulated with high concentrations of butters and oils. They are designed to defend the skin against dehydration by replenishing and sealing in moisture. Body butters can be used all over or specifically on areas that tend to be much drier, like elbows or knees.
