Do any of you ladies change your body moisturizer in winter and then again in summer. I find that i cant use the same moisturizer of year round (weird yes I know). In summer my skin want a light moisturizer so I tend to use nivea or something similar. In winter my skin is really dry and I have to use to a body butter so I use the Body Shops body butter. The weird thing if i use the body butter in summer my skin will be so oily and have this dampness to it all day! Hope I'm not the only weirdo out there.... :)

I change my moisturiser all the time. I really think your skin needs different creams all year round. I try and use creams with aleo vera in it in the summer and something with coconut oil in it. I really do love Nivea body creams i think they are a great choice for all year round. And the price is pretty good too. And they smell amazing. If my legs are really dry mainly from the sun, or from shaving i will use organic coconut oil. It really locks in the moisture

I used to use the Neutrogena Seasame Oil moistuisor in summer as it was so light weight and didn't make my legs sticky like I find Vaseline Coco Butter does. Does anybody know any light weight moisturiors for your body, since they don't make the Neutrogena one anymore (or that I'm aware of).

I use light mosituriser in summers. The health basics aloe vera one is really good. In winters, I tend to use vaseline or the nivea dark blue bottle! and you are not weird..hehe

I was like Nicole and used the Neutrogena Oil (I got mine in a goodie bag years back, did you as well Nicole?) in summer and in winter I use Vaseline Nourishing as it is extra moisturising

I live by Cetaphil's Daily Advance Ultra Hydrating Lotion. I used to use the Body Shops, Body Butters but I found that as lovely as they smelt I had like an oily slick and never used it on my face. My skins switches between normal and dry and I was recommended Cetaphil by a dermatologist. I've never looked back! I use it all over my body, even my face. It leave my skins super smooth and healthy looking. At my pharmacy it retails for about $18.95 and at other pharmacy's I've never seen it over $25. The bottle usually lasts me about 2 months.

I use natural moisturizer during summer and winter to make my skin hydrated. I am also using a natural Japanese silk facial treatment mask at least twice a month and it works amazing on my skin. I got these mask at Essenzza Health and they sell three varieties of these mask in a reasonable price.

I would happily use Aveeno body lotion year around and it was the only body moisturizer I used for a couple years until I decided to splurge and get other body lotions and try using body butters and creams and oils. I love body oils but Aveeno is still my staple no nonsense body lotion. When there was sales last year I stocked up.

Yes. Suggest any one for every season. I too changes the moisturizer every time and due to this little bit side effects were also able to see on my body. So please tell any one for every time.
