Lightweight Body Moisturizers That Won’t Leave You Feeling Sticky

This summer has already proven to be one of the hottest on record, and since there’s still a few more months before we transition into cooler autumn temperatures, you’re going to want to keep all your lightweight skincare products handy. When it comes to body lotion, creamy formulas can feel especially heavy in the heat. Luckily, there are plenty of light yet nourishing options available. Check out our favorite fast-absorbing body moisturizers to use in humid weather below. 

CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion

If you have a normal to dry skin type, consider picking up this lotion from CeraVe. It hydrates the skin without making it feel greasy or weighed down thanks to its oil-free formula. Apply it in the morning to give your skin a boost of hydration that lasts for up to 24 hours. 

Kiehl’s Superbly Restorative Argan Body Lotion

Not only will this body lotion provide a non-sticky layer of hydration on those humid days, but it also helps improve the skin’s texture and tone. Infused with Moroccan argan oil and argan leaf extract, this formula gives your skin a healthy dose of antioxidants and essential fatty acids.

La Roche-Posay Lipikar Lotion
