Top 12 Summer Body Lotions in India for Oily and Dry Skin with Reviews and Prices

With the temperatures so high in the Indian summer, we try and do everything to protect our skin from the harsh rays. We pamper our face with utmost care, but we sometimes forget that our body needs some pampering and care too, especially when the temperature is over 40 degrees. Also, if you are out in the sun for a longer period, use a SPF, and reapply it in every two-three hours. Body lotions that are made especially for summers not only helps to keep the skin sweat free and fresh, but they help to cure the flakiness of dry skin as well. Not many lotions for summer season meant for oily skin are available in the Indian market, but I have rounded up some top selling body lotions that your body is absolutely going to love in this hot weather. Read on to find about them.

Scrubbing your body once a week, drinking lots of water, getting a spa or a massage once in awhile is a good way to make your skin happy, but body lotions play an important role in retaining the moisture and protecting your skin from the harmful rays be it summers or winters. It should be kept in mind that body lotion must be applied within 10 mins after bathing so that the skin does not lose its natural moisture. Body lotions should not be specifically used in winters or only during those times when you are suffering from dry skin,  they should be used during all seasons to keep the skin healthy and soft. Body lotions that are formulated specifically for winters should not be used in summers because they might make the skin greasy or oily, although, those with super dry skin might use winter body lotions all around the year.

Price: Rs.439/- for 496 ml

It has a refreshing fragrance, does not feel greasy on the skin, absorbs pretty fast, heals and soothes the skin. The only drawback is that it might not heal extremely dry skin.

Some people apply coconut oil in place of body lotion, which is fine during winters because the skin becomes too dry and flakey, but in summers, it not only makes the skin too oily, it can even result in skin darkening if exposed to sunlight. While choosing a summer body lotion, avoid ingredients like fatty acids unless you have a very dry skin because they tend to make the skin greasy and sweaty. Ingredients like aloe, cucumber, glycerin work best during summers because they keep the skin cool and fresh, and also help in treating and preventing sunburns.

If you have got a major sunburn, use ice to reduce the redness and for soothing. Remember, prevention is always better than cure, so if you are out in the sun for a longer period, use a good sunscreen with SPF 30. Go ahead, invest in some good body moisturizer, because hey, taking care of your body is as important as taking care of your face.

    • Hi Simran!
      No, they are not completely free of parabens. Some paraben free brands in India are Forest Essentials, Juicy chemistry, Plum goodness, Just Herbs. I wouldn’t say that parabens are extremely harmful in the long run because the concentration of parabens used in skin care products or cosmetics is very low, about 0.01%-0.03%. At the end of the day, it depends on how your skin reacts to different ingredients.
