Body Lotions that Soften the Skin without feeling Sticky or Greasy

Many people suffer from dried skin and they try different products that are available, but the problem with most products on the market is that they are petroleum based. The reason that these types of products don’t work well is because the molecules that make up petroleum are larger than the molecules of our bodies. So the lotion when applied stays on top of the skin instead of soaking into the skin to heal the dryness. This means that when you apply lotion to your hands, it is sitting on the surface of your skin, and when you wash your hands the lotion is removed.

There are products available that will help with softening your skin while not feeling sticky or greasy. One of these is called Melt. It is sugar based instead of petroleum based, which means the molecules of our skin and the lotion are similar and it can be absorbed into the skin instead of sitting on the surface. Once you apply the lotion, you don’t wash your hands for 15 minutes and then you don’t have to apply lotion for the rest of the day. It is important to note that you won’t need as much lotion with sugar based products as you do with petroleum based products.

There are lotions on the market that will help you to soften your skin, but it is up to you to find a product that will work well with your skin. Just because a product works well with your friend doesn’t mean it will work well with you. The best thing you can do is to try different products and find one that works well for you.
