Who has the time to lotion up after a shower? We certainly don’t. The beauty industry has thought up a solution to this universal problem: body lotions and moisturizers you can use while you’re in the shower.
Putting on lotion or oil right after you go through the trouble of drying yourself can be a sensory nightmare. Once I’m dry, that’s how I’d like to stay! I don’t want to lather my body up in a different substance when I literally just did that. Not to mention how so many of those products don’t absorb onto the skin easily, and leave you with a sticky residue. No, thanks!
Now, you can do your moisturizing body routine while you’re still in the shower. In fact, experts agree that the skin absorbs moisture better when it’s still damp. That makes it the best time to put on your lotion, so you’re not left with any residue.
There’s an array of in-shower moisturizers on the market—from drugstore classics like Nivea to TikTok-viral brands like Bicycles. Whether it’s oils that you can leave as is or thick creams you need to rinse off, keep scrolling to shop our picks for the best in-shower hydrating products.
