- Here is a video where I answer a question from a follower regarding the difference between body butter and body lotions. I explain the differences between body butters and body lotions, what they are made of and what the best skin types to use each on.
Please subscribe to my channel for new videos every Wednesday!!!
Body butters do not (usually) have water in them so they are not hydrating. They are conditioning and lock moisture into your skin. The true difference between the two is body butter is typically made completely of oils, lotion has water in it among other things
if you read the ingredients list, the top ingredients are water(aqua, glycerin and oils. Also, a humectant can draw in moisture into your skin, glycerin being a good example. so just because a product has no water, it doesn't mean it can't hydrate
@@MenchieExtrakt I addressed this in my comment already. If it has water then it can hydrate, which means to add water. A product without water cannot hydrate, it can moisturize, they are not the same thing. If a "body butter" has water in it then it is not a true body butter, it is a lotion.
@@mattandchristijohnson1111 you got served. Take the L and close your mouth
Thanks for explaining this.
There are two types of body butter. Anhydrous and Hydrous. Body butters with water content in them are called hydrous or they may also be labeled as “emulsified body butter” and they are still called body butter because of the high content of butter and oils in it. Some people don’t like the greasiness or hardness that anhydrous body butter has, therefore they make emulsified versions.
I can't get enough of the divine scent and ultra-nourishing feel of Planet Ayurveda's Rose Honey Body Butter - truly a spa-like experience at home!
Body butters 😍😍😍ugh I love how it makes my skin feel
We can use this for normal skin to ?
LOVE body butters... my fav is The Body Shop Olive
I just got a body butter for Christmas and I didn’t know what it was for so I watched this and now I know thanks!😄

And also it smells much better than lotion 😍
Rebekah Tako exactly 😍😍
Which is better body butter or body lotion? Also how many times should i use a body butter? (I feel silly for asking this omg 😭😅
It depends on your skin needs.
My skin is very dry but oils doesn't work that much, so I use body lotion, specifically ones containing glycerin because they help removing dead skin (so I don't have to exfoliate that much), which is my actual problem.
Oils only sit on the surface and just feels greasy for me, body butter is a huge no.
If you're going to try body butter, then, only use when you just finished showering or bathing, first because your skin will be softer, "open" by hot water and easier to absorb, also, it'll be a bit hotter on the surface, so it'll melt better on your skin.
Actually, always apply any moisturizer just after showering, that's the best timing.
Thanks Doc. What a precise explanation.i luv it 🥰
Wish I knew what body butter was back in winter when my skin cracked so bad it bled...
I LOVED this video! Thanks for sharing:)
I'm a new subscriber and came across this video but today.when should body butter be used on the skin? Should it be used during the day or at night? For example, the sanctuary spa body butter. Secondly, are body butter good for all skin texture? Should it be used empty or in can be use or mix with naturals like olive oil, almonds, tea tree oils etc.
hey! is body butter for the shower or out of the shower? AND, what’s the difference between body cream and body lotion?
How about the body yogurt? Is that better then body butter ?
Request you to also tell us what is body yogurt?
You gotta make new video and compared lotion, body butter and body yogurt.
Is body butter good during dry/ tropical climates? If so, how does it react and feel when used in that environment? Also, what happens when you place body butter in the fridge for that added cold sensation?
Yes I do it every summer I like to keep some of my cosmetics in the fridge last for longer and is nice right after shower also before to leave my house mmm all day long my body smells 🙃 nice yumma like a cup cake 🎂 😋 for the people who passes 😄 near me on the road also in the working place.
I live in a tropical country and body butter sometimes can be too heavy and quite sticky during the day so I opted for body lotion even though I have dry skin but I sweat a lot so I use it at night (because I sleep with the AC on) and it has helped my skin immensely.
I've never placed body butter in a fridge but I'd imagine the texture would change and might possibly harden.
and then there's me, using vaseline😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Can you use the both at the same time?
Sweet!
when do we need to apply lotion or body butter? immediatly after a bath or shower when the skin is wet? or when we tap it dry and afterwards?
I have the same question
Best time to apply them I after a shower to help lock in the water in your skin.
Matt and Christi Johnson while your skin is still kinda wet?
@@gm836 yes 😊
Very imformative :)
planet ayurveda ka sandwood and olive body butter boht hi organic hai. Iske istemaal se meri wife ki skin boht soft or smooth hui hai. Or skin mein chamak bhi aayi hai
can u suggest mi something to treat the melesma on face ...plz
Kiya use krna chahiye body lotion yh body better wht good for skin ??
Can a body butter be applied to the face too
Matthias Exler No they make your face greasy, which could make your skin break out. I suggest a moisturizer that is made specifically for the face.
I don't see why not
Please suggest a moisturiser cream for face from body shop product
Not good for acne prone skin
Can I add my own fragrance to an unscented one?
Yes, just be mindful however that if you have sensitive skin, some fragrances may irritate. Natural essential oils tend to work better for sensitive skin.
But when to use?
Thank you doctor
Please tell me the difference between body balm and body butter.
Consistency, and balm usually means it'll have wax in it (like beeswax)
@@mattandchristijohnson1111So, which is better for very dry skin - balm or butter?
You want to add water because your skin is dry but also lock that moisture in, so lotion would be better. Balms and butters may help some people but they can actually exacerbate issues with dry skin.
@@mattandchristijohnson1111 I think you are correct but just after bathing *when the skin is hydrated* which will be more appreciable-balm or butter?
P.S. I am applying Shea body butter from the body shop and it works and I was wondering if I should switch to a balm.
@@h1stacean well... It really depends on your skin. Skin care is such a personal thing. Balm would really hold in that water but it won't condition as well as butter. Butter will soak in a lot faster. A LOT faster. I would also take a look at the soap you are using, you may want to switch to something milder. And I would do soap over body wash because of some of the surfactants companies use in body wash are more harsh than what you find in actually soap.
Suggest a good body butters to use
Anu Anu I highly recommend Vanilla bean Noel body butter by bath and bodyworks 🥰
@@loute0076 informative,BTW thank you 😊
@@shravanigorkal11 u can also try out plum butters they are just amazing
Pure by priyanka body butter
Can apply body butter on face I have extremely dry skin
No you can't, it may cause your skin to break out since it will be hard to clean it out and will clog your pores
Love YOU
