As the seasons change, so too does your skin. Sometimes, you may feel like you need an extra moisture injection more than others. Using a body lotion on a regular basis can help keep your skin smooth, soft, supple, and young-looking, which makes finding a good lotion an important part of your skincare routine.

Shopping for a new body lotion can be a daunting task, especially because there are so many options on the market. We decided to take a closer look at one particular body lotion from Brickell to see what it has to offer in terms of moisturizing quality.

Brickell launched their skincare and grooming products range back in 2014 in hopes to plug a gap in the market for top-quality, premium products for men. Using natural ingredients when they can, they created a brand that would combine the best-quality products that would appeal to the everyday man.

This deep moisture body lotion claims to hydrate, protect, and tighten the skin. Do you think this is the one that you have been looking for? Let’s find out.

This product has been specifically formulated with men in mind, so the bottle design and scent are more suited to men. This lotion can be used by men of all ages, of any skin type, and who are looking for a moisturizing product to either relieve or prevent dry, cracked skin.

If you purchase Brickell Men’s Deep Moisture Body Lotion for yourself, you get one eight-ounce bottle of a premium quality lotion, which can be either scented or unscented.

This body lotion is light in consistency, which is great as it makes the lotion very easy to apply and rub in without leaving a greasy feeling on the skin. Having a light body lotion allows you to spread it across your body much easier than a thicker lotion or cream.

It is also absorbed much easier when it is evenly spread. With that said, know that this is a very quick-absorbing lotion, which means that you can get dressed almost immediately after applying it rather than having to wait around for your skin to be dry enough.

Brickell has formulated this body lotion with 99% natural ingredients and 80% organic ingredients so you can be sure that you’re not applying a bunch of unnecessary chemicals (petrochemicals, sulfates, parabens) when you’re actually trying to increase the overall health of your skin. Having natural and organic ingredients makes you feel much safer in the knowledge that this lotion is good for you and the environment as well.

This lotion contains many key ingredients that are renowned for being good for the skin including aloe vera, jojoba oil, vitamin E, and green tea. As a self-confessed premium product, however, this body lotion is a little on the pricey side.

Aloe vera can help boost your cell turnover, giving it anti-aging properties. It also contains all of the vitamins and antioxidants required by your skin for good health. Finally, aloe vera is also very good for burns or redness, so it is especially handy if you’ve spent too much time in the sun.

Jojoba oil contains humectant molecules, which are fantastic for moisturizing as they help attract moisture to your skin from the external environment. Both aloe vera and jojoba oil are good for acne too, which means that using this moisturizer could potentially result in smoother, clearer skin as well as more hydrated skin.

Both vitamin E and green tea are powerful antioxidants that are great for skin in terms of repairing DNA damage from UV rays. These ingredients give this lotion its anti-aging properties. Green tea is also antibacterial, so using this body lotion regularly will likely lead to fewer spots and cleaner pores.

It is recommended that you use this product daily either in the morning, after the gym, or before bed. Apply all over the body or just in the parts that need hydrating.

A cheaper alternative to Brickell’s body lotion is the NIVEA 3-in-1 Nourishing Lotion. It is also a deep moisturizer that is light and absorbs quickly. This lotion can be used all over the body including the face, as opposed to Brickell’s body lotion that is recommended for the body only.

The NIVEA body lotion is not all-natural, however, and trying to read the ingredients list can be slightly daunting as many of the ingredients sound like chemicals such as Cetearyl sulfate. Using the NIVEA body lotion does leave you with a soft skin, for sure. However, in the long term, we wonder how good this lotion can be for the health of your skin.

Most lotions are made up of water to help replenish your skin’s water content and a waxy or oil-like substance to lock the moisture in and stop it from drying out further. Now, you may have come across lotions that claim to be even better for the health of your skin due to the extra ingredients they contain that offers radiance and vitality.

Lotions that contain humectant molecules are, in fact, much better at moisturizing your body. Why? That’s because not only do they further increase moisture levels, but they also help replenish lipids found in the epidermis and dermis layers of skin.

Our clear winner here is the body lotion from Brickell. Yes, it costs more, but you only live once, and we think it’s worth the extra money to look after your skin properly rather than pile it with chemicals. The Brickell lotion was made using quality ingredients that will give you great skin, in the most natural way possible.
