Natural Spa Body Lotion - The Home Spa

Whilst not all day spas use natural products, the best ones do. And if you want to recreate a truly luxurious home spa experience that nourishes your skin, then choosing a natural spa body lotion that is free of petrochemicals, parabens and silicones, is the best way to go. And the good news is that while you can go to a day spa to buy this type of product, you don't have to. There are all kinds of great body lotions online, that contain the same nourishing ingredients you'll find in natural-themed professional spa products.

When searching for a skin lotion the first thing you should do is identify your skin type. All skin needs moisture, however certain skin types need heavier creams and others require lighter products. And your skin changes over time, depending on your diet, and other factors, like medications or age.

Oily or acne prone skin does best with a light moisturizer with ingredients like jojoba oil and cucumber. You want a moisturizer that doesn't clog pores or leave a greasy feeling on your skin. Dry skin responds well to products with rich ingredients like shea butter and olive oil. There are all kinds of essential oils that can be added to body lotions including lavender, rose, ylang ylang, peppermint and many others. You may want to look for calming scents like vanilla or more energetic scents like citrus.

One natural skin moisturizer to look for at the drugstore is Alba Botanica Hawaiian Spa Kukui Nut Body Cream. This product is 100 percent vegetarian friendly and is made with natural ingredients like tropical nut oils, aloe vera, glycerin and vanilla. While this cream may be too heavy for some skin types it works wonders on extra dry areas like elbows, knees and heels. It also makes the perfect after shave moisturizer for your legs. Another company who makes natural products is Jason Skin Care. One lotion you may want to try from them is the Glycerine and Rosewater Hand and Body Lotion.

When using natural spa body lotion you can create your very own home spa. Prepare the environment by lighting aromatherapy candles and putting on some soft music. A steamy shower is great for opening the pores and also the ideal time to exfoliate. Proper exfoliation makes moisturizer more effective because it is better able to penetrate the skin. If you want to do a facial mask you can follow your shower with a relaxing soak in the tub while the mask dries. Apply the lotion or cream of your choice to skin that has been gently patted dry with a soft terry towel. You may want to allow the moisturizer a few minutes to soak in before getting dressed.
