I am very particular about body lotions that I use. I have dry skin and live where it gets really hot! There is always something missing, causing me to continue my
search! I agree with the use of Nivea (I like Essentially Enriched). It is a bit heavy and seemingly greasy at first.. But it leaves a nice glow (due to hydration) and isnt nearly as bad as trying to use baby oil or baby oil gel. Once absorbed into the skin (as it absorbs relatively quick) it leaves the skin feeling refreshed. I personally like that the consistency is thick, but again it does absorb well. I have found Aveeno (any of their lotions) because I have found that I feel the need to re-apply, and that is not always an alternative later in the day when wearing shorts! And just as with shampoo, it is best to alternate brands periodically so your skin wont adjust to the product. I would need a better idea of what kind consistency you prefer in a product to be able to give better referrals! Happy to help!
