Body Creams & Lotions

It is a scientifically-proven fact that men have thicker and coarser skin than women, (source) which is why taking the right care of the skin on our body is essential - especially in the colder months when our skin is drier. Shop our collection of nourishing body creams and lotions for men at Humanery, from leading brands such as John Masters Organics and D’Alchemy, that work to lock in moisture after a thorough cleanse.

Choose from body creams for dry skin, scented body lotions, and formulations for irritated skin, to upgrade your body care ritual. We offer a range of lotions and creams infused with natural oils to revive male skin and elevate your self-care game, including sulfate-free and paraben-free options.

Why should men use body creams & lotions?

Body creams and lotions are an essential step after cleansing with a body wash. They replenish the skin by delivering lost moisture and nutrients caused by some cleansers that strip the body of its natural oils. Just like you would apply a moisturiser after using a face wash, you also need to protect your freshly cleansed skin with a protective barrier of hydrating and nourishing ingredients that seal in moisture and safeguard against external pollutants.

There is a multitude of reasons why body creams & lotions should be essential to any man's self-care routine. These include:

• They support the skin's barrier
• They keep the skin's microbiome balanced
• They rehydrate dry and dull skin, improving the appearance of the skin
• They soften rough and coarse patches
• They have soothing and nourishing properties
• They keep the skin supple and prevent early signs of ageing
• They smell great - whether infused with natural oils or added fragrance

What is the difference between lotion & body cream?

That depends on your specific needs and concerns. The key difference between body creams and lotions is that body lotions have a lighter formulation, with a higher concentration of water than oil. Creams have a richer formula that is higher in oil content and so deliver more intense moisturisation. They often contain butters such as Shea Butter that hydrate deep down, while lotions are great for lathering on the body for lightweight moisture coverage.

When should you use body lotions & creams?

The simple answer is every time your wash your body.

Step 1: Cleanse with body wash or a body exfoliator to rid the skin of dirt, excess oil and impurities.

Step 2: Follow with a body lotion, cream or body oil, applying to damp or dry skin to lock in moisture.

Step 3: Follow with a hand cream or hand balm
