Body butter is a type of skin moisturizer that is thicker and more emollient than body lotions and creams. It is primarily used for:
-
Moisturizing and nourishing dry skin: Body butter is effective at replenishing the skins natural oils and providing long-lasting hydration. It is especially beneficial for people with dry, rough, or dehydrated skin.
-
Rejuvenating problem areas: Body butter can be applied all over the body or specifically on problem patches, such as elbows, knees, and feet, to help soften and smooth rough skin.
-
Protecting the skin: The thick consistency of body butter forms a barrier on the skin, which can help protect it from environmental factors and lock in moisture.
-
Soothing and smoothing: Body butter often contains ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, and vitamins, which can help soothe and smoothen the skin, leaving it feeling velvety-soft and glowing.
-
Versatile use: Some people also use body butter on their lips, hands, and other areas that need extra hydration and nourishment.
