With this ultra-simple DIY, treat your dry skin to a little extra softness, ladies! The cold takes a toll on our skin, which tends to dry out during winter. If you never find the time to use that body moisturiser gathering dust at the back of the cupboard, this homemade in-shower body lotion is about to win you over. Here’s what you’ll need, the recipe and how to apply it.
Why use a body lotion in the shower?
Applying moisturiser after your shower is one more step, and it’s often the first to go when you’re in a rush and want to get dressed quickly. An in-shower body lotion slots moisturising into the routine you already have: it all happens while you’re in the shower, with nothing extra to do once you’ve stepped out of the bathroom. It’s a handy trick for busy mornings, especially when the cold leaves your skin feeling drier.
You will need:
- An empty bottle (shampoo, shower gel…)
- A shower gel of your choice
- A body moisturiser formulated for the body
Which moisturiser should you use?
There’s no need to buy anything special: the body moisturiser you already have, or any shop-bought body lotion, will do the job. Just make sure it’s made for the body rather than the face, with a texture and scent you enjoy. As for the shower gel, go for whichever one you like. Simply check that the two scents go well together so the mix stays pleasant to use.

If you have sensitive or reactive skin, try it on a small patch first before making this mix part of your routine.
The recipe:
It couldn’t be simpler: pour 1 part shower gel into the bottle for every 9 parts body moisturiser (e.g. 10cl shower gel + 90cl body moisturiser). Close and shake well!
How to use:
After using and rinsing off your regular shower gel, apply your mixture to still-damp skin. Leave it on for a few seconds, then rinse. It’s a quick, simple moisturising step that fits right into your shower!
With this do-it-yourself trick, you have no more excuses for not having silky-soft skin, ladies 🙂
