Before we dive into the specifics of whether to use body oil or lotion, let's ask an important question,  

Why is moisturizing so important?

Your skin is the most visible and largest organ of your body. It is at the forefront of every battle, fighting and guarding you against harsh environments, pollutants, impurities, and harmful bacteria. Therefore it is not a shocker that it requires your utmost attention and care to stay fresh and healthy.  

One way to shower this care and attention to your skin is through moisturizing twice a day. It protects your skin and keeps it hydrated. You can moisturize your skin in multiple ways, such as body lotions, oil, butter, cream, and other similar products.   

Now that we have settled that moisturizing is crucial, let's find out whether to use body lotion or oil for dehydrated skin.  

Should I use body oil or natural body lotion for my dehydrated skin?  

Before answering this question, it is essential to understand that both body lotion and oil serve different purposes and have varying benefits. They differ in viscosity and therefore are used according to your goals, skin type, and the weather.  

Now, if you have dehydrated skin, your go-to agent for moisturizing should be a natural body lotion, especially an ayurvedic or organic body lotion.  

"Why," you ask?   

Organic body lotions have more viscosity than body oil and hydrate the skin better, especially in the long term. Let's have a look at some other benefits of natural body lotions:  

• Hydrates your skin: Dryness can cause the skin to become tight and can even cause cracks. Body lotions easily prevent this problem by hydrating your skin and leaving it soft and supple. 

• Lasting effect: Moisturizers are a combination of oil and a water-based ingredient, making them beneficial for the stratum corneum and the epidermis. These body lotions reach deep within the skin and provide a long-lasting moisturizing effect. 

• Quick absorption: Body lotions are easily absorbed and an excellent non-greasy option for you. The best natural body lotions feel lightweight and not blotchy even when applied in large quantities. 

• Anti-aging: Few components present in lotions vary the formation of wrinkles resulting in youthful skin. Lotions also contain elements essential to collagen growth that helps in maintaining healthy skin naturally. 

• Aids skin regeneration: Skin regenerates once every 28 days while shedding dead skin cells every 8 hours. In this process, body lotions come in, aiding and accelerating the process of regeneration, resulting in fresh skin without old and dead skin cells.  

Pro tip: Shea butter in your body lotions is like an early Christmas, especially if you have dehydrated skin!
