Lotion or Body Butter?

Contributor: Ms. Paprika Ms. Paprika
Maybe it's because my friends and I are silly, but we actually had a friendly (but heated) debate over the merits of lotion or body butter tonight. I personally prefer body butter-it feels rich and actually keeps my skin soft. One of my friends, however, rebuts that lotion is far easier to use since it's not as thick, and usually cheaper.
So, I turn to you, EF, to help us settle this pressing issue! (And also because I'd feel very silly actually polling people in person.)

I personally find body butter to be too thick sometimes, or contain additives that make me break out in a rash. it depends who makes it.

It really depends. I LOVE high quality body butters, but if it's the cheap-o wal mart crap then it will get tossed! I hate any greasy or sticky residue and most lotions/butters leave it unless they're high quality and usually vegan and or natural. I love the smell of bath & body works, but they leave my legs and hands with the WORST feeling! I like them to feel smooth and soft not that weird stick crap.

I prefer lotions in general because I don't have very dry skin and body butter tends to feel a bit too heavy to me. I do have some coconut body butter that I love the smell of though, and I like to use it on my dry feet and elbows in the winter.

I adore body butters, they're one of the few things that can keep my skin from drying out. (well, that and straight up bath oil)

Thick lotion. Body butter is usually a mess and I prefer something with a pump.

I like both, normally I use lotion though unless I find a good quality body butter.

I'm a fan of both! I'm really glad I can use both and enjoy them in their own ways.

I use body butter on my elbows and sometimes on my hands if they're really dry. I like to use body butter right after a shower or if I'm doing something that's not too intensive. I don't like using body butter if I'm feeling sweaty or oily, and I don't like it on the palms of my hands (makes my palms sweat more easily).

Lotion is great for everyday use, and I'll use it on my hands whenever I feel like I need a little more moisturizing. I'll use it on my legs and arms, too, depending on how they feel. My lotions are thinner than body butter, so they absorb into my skin more easily and don't feel oily afterward.

I love them all and I LOVE Bath and Body Works products. I use Body Butter on my pube area after shaving and on my feet. They get dry in the winter and cracked in the summer. I use cream (tube) when my hands and body are really dry. I use lotion (although in Chicago we tend to call it all "cream") for a lot of things.

Body Butter is great after shaving on your legs, too, but not your underarms.

I used to use Curel for everything. But, someone gave me some bath and body works stuff and I used it when I ran out. Then I went to the store to replace on of the scents and got hooked.

Personally, I have never found anything I loved more than pure shea butter. But it is expensive, and to be honest, we usually use lotion or some kind of lube.

With my dry skin I have to use the thicker creamier body butters regular lotions do nothing for me

Depends on my skin and perhaps the time of year.

High quality lotion or butter is fine. I like natural ingredients, no petroleum or parabens or anything, because my skin is very sensitive and weird ingredients give me weird rashes. Lotion is better in the summer, and body butter for the winter when my skin is dry.

Now, let me start this post by clarifying: I do not have dry skin problems... EXCEPT... at work. Work requires I wear gloves most of the time, and using hand sanitizer with every glove change absolutely tears up my hands. As such, I use the lotion provided pretty well hour on the hour to keep my hands nice, being fickle like that. It's run of the mill Debba Skin Conditioner, but it's free and it works well enough so long as I lotion my hands at least every break.

That's where my use of lotion basically stops. I don't like using lotion the rest of the time. I prefer body butter for personal, at home use. The thick texture is just more fun to play with, and since my hands stay pretty nice without any effort as long as I'm not at work (and I used lotion before going home), I generally use the butter on my elbows and knees. I don't like using butter on my hands, but I love body butter for use on my body, and I like lotion when my hands are dry, but not for full body use.

So, well. Both!

I've never, ever had to deal with dry skin until we moved to Colorado. Up here at high altitude my skin gets SO dry, and yes, we run humidifiers 24/7 (unless it's very warm and the windows are open!)

Overall, I find that body butter is what really helps me hudrate my skin. Lotion needs way too much reapplying.

A close friend of mine makes natural soaps and body butter. I voted body butter but this may be slightly bias because the product I use is very high quality and has no preservatives or additives.

Lotion, but I believe that lotion is similar to cream, yes? I've always had very dry skin, so I use AE&D cream. I do not know whether that's a lotion or not, so I'm not sure...

I usually use lotion unless I get a REALLY dry patch on my elbows or something that won't get smooth. Then the body butter helps a whole lot more.

I use both but it depends on what time of year it is. Winter is more of a body butter time, while summer is a lighter lotion type time. I agree that it has to be high quality in either form though because I do not enjoy feeling sticky or slimy. I'm a big fan of Lush products.

I like both. I use body butter when it's really dry, use lotion when it's not as dry.
