What's the best cheap body lotion to buy in the UK?

Question

I get through so much of the stuff that I don't want to spend a lot but I've not found one that's perfect yet. Any recommendations?

Answer 1

Best I 've found is Nivea original about £3 for 400ml in Savers( more in boots/supermarkets etc), cheapest is Wilkinsons coco butter lotion. 48p for 400ml, smells of coconut (a bit too strongly for my taste)

Answer 2

Body butter from The Body Shop smells divine! It comes in a number of flavours/scents and you can get a smaller size version so you can see if you like it.

For non-scented ones or if you have sensitive skin, try E45 cream which is available from any chemist. Comes in a tube and is really good for dry skin.

Answer 3

Palmers coconut, smells gorgeous and is great for dry skin, also helps keep stretch marks at bay! Or Evening Primrose oil, another good cheap but effective option, chemists often have their own versions

Answer 4

I like Boots own brand stuff - depending on whether you get the bargain one or the 'proper' one, it'll cost between 40p and a pound to get an average sized bottle. Does the job, doesn't smell, won't break the bank!

Answer 5

Palmers Cocoa Butter is fabulous. I find it hard to find large saver-size packs outside big cities, but even in small packs it works really well and has a nice 'chocolaty' smell. It costs about 3-4 pounds.

Answer 6

vasiline intensive care is a good one,availible from boots or savers only around the £4 mark. I got bad dry skin off the sun beds and it works for me.

Answer 7

Try Johnson & Johnson's baby lotion or Nivea do some good ones

Answer 8

i think boots own brand is a good one or dove it smells lush too, and there the ones who made the first ph balanced soap so itll help ur skin
