Boots Mediterranean Olive Sage Almond Wonderbalm$8.99Oh, those clever Brits. Even your flakiest, driest spots are no match for this moisturizing salve from the U.K. It works everywhere -- lips, elbows, heels. It doesn't leave skin wet or sticky, and it smells absolutely delicious -- sweet and almond-y. The point deduction comes because the pot is unnecessarily clunky and heav...More |

SkinMilk Soft Shimmer Body Lotion$5.59Even without shimmer, Skin Milk's Soft Shimmer Body Lotion would be a quality moisturizer. It glides on smoothly with a very light vanilla-y scent, gets a little sticky for a minute while it sinks in, then keeps skin soft and hydrated all day. Add a subtle glow from light-reflecting particles and a low price tag, and this e...More |

Avon PLANET SPA Mediterranean Olive Oil Whipped Body Cream$8.50The creaminess of this body lotion knows no bounds, thanks to little beads of olive oil that burst on contact with skin. The effect provides a moisture boost that's tough to beat and leaves you feeling smooth from neck to toe. You might find it a bit heavy for summer, but it's absolutely perfect for winter. And for such a l...More |

St. Ives Swiss Vanilla Moisture Therapy Lotion$4.76Warning: Application of this vitamin E-packed moisturizer may attract mamas' boys and cookie cravings. Side effects also include over-application and constant urges to sniff or lick oneself. (Seriously, the scent is strong.) The rich, smooth lotion doubles skin's moisture without being too heavy or greasy. A pump bottle mak...More |

Lubriderm Daily Moisture with SPF 15 Lotion$This truly is "a light, clean-feeling, non-greasy, everyday lotion." The creamy texture delivers heavy-duty hydration but with a fast sink-in factor that allows you to get dressed right away. Doesn't claim to be fragrance free, but it won't compete with your perfume -- that and the sun protection are big pluses. T...More |

Eucerin Plus Intensive Repair Body Creme$10.99"Intensive" is right. Eucerin Plus Intensive Repair Body Cream is thick. Really thick. Those in desperate need of hydration should slather it on severely dry areas and use it to help repair cracked skin. It can be a tad greasy so it's best to apply at night to let it sink in. You'll wake up with dramatically softer skin tha...More |

Boots Mediterranean Body Butter$10.99The consistency of this lotion-in-a-pot is not quite as creamy as you'd expect from the word "butter," but you'll get over that quickly. It still manages to be as moisturizing as similar products out there (like, say, The Body Shop's) and the lighter weight means you can smear it on and jump right into bed without...More |

Neutrogena Relaxing Overnight Body Cream$9.99Any night cream that claims "no greasy after-feel" pings our skept-o-meter, but this one comes close. It's lightweight and absorbs quickly (no oily spots on your favorite sheets!) and it moisturizes as well as, or better than, pricier creams. But here's where it loses: the scent. Lavender and chamomile are suppose...More |

L'Occitane Honey & Lemon Delightful Cream$34.00Those with a sweet tooth for honey will indeed be delighted by the L'Occitane Honey & Lemon Delightful Cream's display-worthy, honeycombed pot of decadent cream. Though the thick, fragranced formula may not be ideal for the face (despite L'Occitane's advice), it sinks in quickly to give skin all-day, non-greasy moisture...More |

Bliss Naked Body Butter$35.00Thick and rich, this a "maximum moisture cream" might as well have fallen off the dairy truck. Applied before bedtime, it goes on thick and deeply moisturizes while vitamins A and E chip away at damage from the sun and shaving. You have to come to terms with its thick residue when first applied, which can be prob...More |
