Body Lotion - Body Cream - Body Butter?

Question

Are they the same thing, or are the different? Which one leaves you skin softer/smoother/silkier? And which one lasts longer?

And could you give me some product suggestions...

Answer 1

Body butter is the best... but I don't really have a specific brand for you. I use it after my Olive oil scrub. I make a paste out of extra virgin Olive Oil and regular table salt and scrub it on in the shower... You can wash it off a bit with soap and pat your skin dry. Gorgeous skin! and don't worry, it doesn't make you break out. I have super sensitive skin and it works wonders for your hair, too! I put olive oil on my hair and leave it in for an hour or so... wash it ONCE with shampoo and condition it and your hair will be super silky smooth like your skin.

Answer 2

body lotion is much thinner than the other two, and they get thicker as you read further right...body cream is much thicker than lotion and body butter is the thickest (I believe) out there. the body butter will definitely leave your skin much smoother/silkier, and in the long run much softer too. the body butter seems to last longer for some reason.

try going to bath and body works and asking there. or you could go to your local Wal-Mart and try a body butter from there.

Answer 3

Body butter feels lighter than lotion or cream. I prefer the butter because it leaves your skin feeling smooth without that greasy feeling that lotion can sometimes leave. Clinique has a really nice line of body butter. It leaves your skin feeling hydrated. I personally think the cream may last longer, or at least it seems to, but the butter definitely leaves the skin feeling better.

Answer 4

I am a dude, so it isn't too masculine to have anything beyond lotion. It all depends on what is in the product if it leaves the skin softer, smoother, or silkier. I personally prefer water-based lotions versus oil-based. If you use them on your face, it won't help along zits, like an oil-based lotion.

Answer 5

body cream is kind of watery, so is lotion, but cream is a little thicker. Body butter is thick and moisturizes good. I recommend body butter. Lasts longer is is great if you like a light scent that lingers for hours. Any kind is good I usually order Beauty Control. But if you want it now, Tone makes a good body butter nice scents too.

Answer 6

A woman uses Lotions if she has oily/combo skin. Lotion is thinner so it will absorb easier. A cream of course is thicker and that is for someone who has dry skin. This applys not only for the face but for the body. Body butter, not a lover of that myself. I have used Oil of Olay products for years and I love them.

Answer 7

Generally, in regards to body lotion - body cream - body butter, it is thick - thicker - thickest. Lotions tend to be runnier, creams and butters thicker and you need less of it. As to what lasts longer and makes your skin nicer, it would really depend on your skin type and what brand of lotion, cream, or butter you buy.

Answer 8

generally cream is heavier than lotion, and butter is heavier than cream. I like lotion for day to day use, and cream if I have gone swiming alot or it is really dry/hot weather. Butter I use on dry feet and hands, wiht socks or gloves on, at night.

Answer 9

i think they're the same, people hav different personalities and so they call it somethin differnet then anyone else. i don't normally use it but i think i could recamend something:

bath and body works hav terrific lotions/creams/butters. i use them wen i do use it and i strongly recomend it, partly b/c u'll smell wonderful and b soft @ the same time!!

Answer 10

i think they all have different textures. lotion is more watery, cream is thick, and butter feels, well, like butter.
