As many can attest, your body will age better if you keep your skin hydrated
Photo: Paramount Pictures I can’t remember where I first heard the phrase “treat your body as you would your face,” when it comes to skin care, but it stuck with me. It seems like obvious advice to take similar pains with the skin on your body as with your face, and yet I’ve never met a skincare person who was as gung ho about finding the latest body butter, or wearing body lotion period, as they were about stocking up on face masks and serums.
Melanie Palm – the medical director at Art of Skin MD – explains that ceramides help seal the skin barrier to keep in moisture, while hyaluronic acid is known to carry 1000 times its weight in water, so your skin stays extra hydrated. All my experts pointed me to this CeraVe lotion which contains both. It’s fragrance-free so it’s well-suited for sensitive skin types, and it doesn’t feel sticky or heavy on skin.

Waldorf recommends this oat-enhanced Dove body lotion catered to eczema sufferers. The colloidal oatmeal in it reduces itch, while glycerin draws and seals in moisture.
