Believe it or not, the best lotion for dry skin will be suitable for all types. This is because of the natural ingredients rather than the chemicals found it most specific lotions. Let me explain.

For example, the best body lotion for extra dry skin would not contain mineral oil, which is a disaster for your skin. This is used in most products but is a by-product of petroleum and strips the skin of its natural oils while clogging up the pores.

It is used because it is cheap basically, so avoid the mainstream creams and despite the daily bombardment of advertizing, don’t fall for the hype!

When looking for an effective lotion for dry skin, you should consider only natural ingredients that are free from harmful chemicals and as they can be hard to find, here are some of my favourite ones.

All natural oils like Avocado, Grapeseed and Jojoba are excellent antioxidants and are close to your skins natural oils, helping to deeply moisturize and lock in the moisture while protecting against the daily pollution.

Phytessence wakame is an extract from Japanese sea kelp and a long prized beauty secret. This amazing substance is overflowing with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals to literally drench your skin in goodness, moisturizing and healing as it works.

Cynergy TK is another new ingredient which as well as moisturizing and healing will boost your levels of collagen and elastin removing any lines and wrinkles as it enhances your skins natural texture and smoothness. This is a great ingredient for the best body lotion for extra dry skin to have as it stops the dryness from returning.

All of these work together helping to restore your skin to its former young looking and healthy state, leaving it supple and smooth, while boosting your immune system and overall health as well.

A truly effective lotion for dry skin just depends on the quality of the ingredients used and the expertise used to blend them. Try them out for yourself and you will be amazed at the results.
