BODY CARE GUIDE
Body butter vs. lotion: which fits your routine?
Both are moisturizers, but they usually fit different preferences. Lotion tends to feel lighter and spread quickly, while body butter is generally chosen when someone wants a richer, more substantial body-care step.
When body butter makes sense
Body butter can be a good fit when you prefer richer-feeling moisture, especially as part of an evening routine or for areas that tend to feel dry. Texture and finish vary by formula, so check the merchant's current product information before purchasing.
What about shimmer body butter?
A shimmer formula combines the body-care step with a luminous cosmetic finish. That can make it useful when you want visible glow on shoulders, arms or legs rather than moisture alone.
