Ellen’s advice
How to choose
Your body deserves the same care as your face. Here you'll find body lotions, body creams and body butters for every skin, plus firming care and sun protection.
How to choose:
- Normal skin, quick absorption: a body lotion such as the Mii Cosmetics seriously smoothing moisturiser or PCA skin body therapy.
- Dry skin or rough areas like knees and elbows: a body butter such as the Self deep nourishing body butter or this is us. this is rich.
- Firmness or cellulite: the Institut Esthederm baume fermeté haute nutrition or the Intensif glauscine crème lipolytique.
- Sun: the this is us. this is sun body sprays and body cream with SPF.
Apply your lotion straight after showering on slightly damp skin to lock in moisture. Like to exfoliate? Choose a body scrub.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know
How often should I exfoliate my body?
1 to 2 times a week. Scrubbing more doesn't make your skin softer, it actually irritates it. Always scrub before your body lotion, never after.
What can I do about rough skin on my arms or legs?
Scrub regularly and moisturise every day. If your skin feels really rough, choose a body butter or richer cream. Knees and elbows dry out faster and deserve extra attention.
Body lotion or body butter?
A lotion is lighter, absorbs quickly and is ideal for every day. A body butter is richer, for dry skin or in winter.
