Why Body Butter Works Better Than Lotion

Body butter is one of the easiest ways to bring moisture, softness, and glow back to your skin — especially if you struggle with dryness. But what makes it different from regular lotion?

Here’s a simple breakdown:

💛 1. Body Butter Is Richer

Lotion is mostly water, which means it absorbs quickly but doesn’t last long.
Body butter uses thicker, nourishing butters that stay on the skin longer.

💛 2. It Locks In Moisture

Body butter creates a protective layer that helps seal in moisture, leaving skin soft for hours.

Tip: Apply it on slightly damp skin for the best results.

💛 3. A Little Goes a Long Way

You only need a small amount because body butter is more concentrated than lotion.

💛 4. Perfect for Dry or Sensitive Skin

If you have rough areas like elbows, knees, feet, or hands — body butter gives deeper hydration than lotion can provide.

💛 5. Great for a Soft Life Routine

Using body butter after a shower gives that smooth, glowing, pampered feel that makes self-care feel luxurious and simple.
