Lotion Challenge

The Lotion Challenge pits top lotions against each other in head to head challenges.

Each lotion uses it’s best features (players) to try and knock out its opponent.

The match is documented blow by blow as each side takes its best shots using each player (ingredient) on the team.  The blows continue until a winner emerges.

The teams (lotions/creams) are separated into divisions so each match is pitting lotions with similar characteristics against one another.

On occasion inter-divisional matches occur to see if one division is stronger than another.  Watch the action as it takes place.  May the best lotion win!

Dry skin?  Then, watch closely as these titans of supple skin clash. The winners will make your dry skin disappear.

As the play by play is documented, you’ll see why one team (lotion) is winning.  See if the talent they are bringing to the table is the talent that applies to you. 

Every aspect of each “team” is taken into consideration.

HowCast Reports On Game Winning (Skin Care) Techniques

I’ve been a huge fan of HowCast for years. Every since I found them on Tivo podcasts, I’ve enjoyed their endless stream of just simply fantastic content.

So, imagine my joy when I found that the folks at HowCast had put together a little “game strategy” podcast called “How to Moisturize Your Body”.

This little tidbit of great info also reinforces some of the things we talk about on the Humidifier Buying Tips page we already have on our Lotion Challenge site.

The league will be watching this closely for game time strategies!!

Beauty Is Only Skin Deep

They say Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder.

For example, in this photo taken of a little girl in India, you might think that a photo in black and white might not stand out.

Or, that a photo named “Beauty” might be represented better using a super model or some other stunning professional.

But, this photo has a simpleness about it.

The out of focus background forces your eyes to the only thing in focus, the little girl.

You can almost sense her shyness. She seems to have a facial expression that emotes a question.

There’s an innocence there that shines through.

The photographer says it was difficult getting the shot because of how truly shy the girl was.

All of this together makes the title of the picture, “Beauty” that much more appropriate.

What makes this relevant to a website about skin products? Well, you might think “not much”.  Perhaps the common denominator is the name of the image “Beauty”.

But, as I said at the beginning, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”.

So, if you use the products on this website to bring out your innocence, or to soften your skin in a way that brings focus to you in the same way this image forces your eyes towards the girl. Then, you’ve accomplished what this picture does. And, you can then represent, just as this picture does: “Beauty”.

Best Lotions For Dry Skin

While some lotions are multipurpose (and can vie for the title of the best lotion for dry skin), often it’s better to use different lotions for different part of your body.

Or, different lotions for different occasions.

At Lotion Challenge, we organized teams (products) into divisions with each division excelling with these different categories of features:

• Body Lotions
• Facial Creams
• Hand Creams
• Foot Creams
• General Purpose Lotions
• Lotions with SPF
• Bar of Soap
• Foundation Creams
• Eyes Creams
• Oils
• Luxury Lotions

Body Lotions

Some body lotions are used while bathing. Others, are typically used after a bath.

When using a body lotion while bathing, it is often used in place of traditional bar soap.

In an upcoming article Best Body Lotion, we have targeted the best body lotion for dry skin for your body.

Facial Creams

There are actually several types of face lotions. Some are specifically the best lotion for dry skin for parts of the face.

For example, there are eye creams, wrinkle creams, lotions with SPF to protect you from the sun, anti-aging creams, and general purpose facial creams.

In an upcoming article Best Face Cream, we focus on a few lotions that have been specifically designed to be used on your face.

We’ve put the best lotion for dry skin in the table above. But, if you want to hear about the facial creams above. Or, some of the other facial creams we’ve found. Then, go to Best Face Cream article and you will find out even more about the facial creams that we’ve hand picked to fit your needs.

Hand Creams

In our research of other lotions, we’ve found that there are many types of lotions/moisturizers/creams that are made just for the hands. The hands can be a problem area for some.

So, in an upcoming article Best Hand Cream, we’ll look for those hand creams and the best lotion for dry skin for the hands that not only work well, but still allow your hands to not be handicapped by a lotion that leave your hands slippery, greasy, or otherwise effected.

Foot Creams

Another problem area for some folks are their feet.

If you perhaps spend a lot of time barefoot. Or, maybe you’re a runner or an athlete.

Or, if you just have naturally dry skin on your feet, this upcoming article about the Best Foot Cream might be of use.

In this article we provide a list of foot creams that have been found to be effective keeping the skin on your feet feeling youthful, soft, and healthy.

General Purpose Lotions

General purpose lotions are ones that do not target a particular part of your body.

For example, we are not including facial, eyes, hand or feet lotions in this category.

Some of these general purpose teams (lotions) have the talent to compete against teams in any other division (on all parts of your body).

Some fans (you guys) are lucky enough that a team from the general purpose division meets all of your skin protection needs.

Others fans prefer to root for a team in each division (or have different types skin on different parts of your body).

Or, perhaps just want to get enhanced results by using a lotion that is made to target a particular part of the body.

In the article Best Lotions for Very Dry Skin, we’ve identified the lotions that reviews have found to be the best general purpose lotions on the market.

Lotions with Sunscreen

For many of us, protecting our skin from the effects of the sun is not only essential for our general health.

It is also useful in keeping our skin looking youthful. SPF protects us from dangerous UVA and UVB sun rays. It also keeps many of us from getting painful sunburns. Even if the sun isn’t strong enough to cause a sunburn, the effects of the sun can still leave our skin looking wrinkled and weathered.

In our article Best Sunscreen For Sensitive Skin, we focus on the best lotion for dry skin that provide SPF protection.

We talk about the benefits of SPF. And, call out several lotions that have beneficial ingredients that will help protect your skin better if you find yourself in need of sun protection.

Bar of Soap

If you don’t use a body lotion in the shower, you probably use a bar of soap.  If so, that means that a bar of soap is likely the type of skin product that is the most often applied to your entire body.

Getting this type of product right is essential to great skin health.

So, even if you might have a favorite team in another division, you probably will want to root for one team or another in the Squeaky Clean Bar Soap Division.

As you would expect, there are some powerhouse teams in this division.  Some of these are early favorites to contend for the Lotion Challenge trophy.

Foundation Creams

The Foundation Coverage division consists of solid teams.  Any of these teams are built from the ground up and have very few weaknesses.

Any contender in this division has to be consistent because they always play in a very public venue.  So, any mistakes are out there for the world to see.

So, beating any of these teams will be difficult.  And, will require consistency and longevity.

Eyes Creams

The Crows Feet Division has a very proud history.  There is no shortage of experience for any of these teams.

But, be careful.  You might think you can run circles around some of these “older”, more experienced teams.  But, that’s what they want you to think.

Teams in this division have to work extra hard to keep their venue in shape.  So, if you underestimate one of these teams, you will find their work ethic and experience together make them extremely difficult to beat.

Oils

Teams in the Slippery Oils Division are cut from a different mold.

So, you can’t attack any of these teams in the same way you think you can attack other teams in the Lotion Challenge league.

Evasive doesn’t begin to describe how difficult it is to get a good grip on this opponent.

These teams also have characteristics that no other divisions have.  This makes them hard to game plan for.  And, difficult to get a handle on.

Luxury Lotion

In the article Luxury Lotion, we’ve found some particularly exotic moisturizers that those without monetary constraints have found to be sinfully good.

If you find yourself looking for that gift for that someone that has everything, and you’re not worried about how much to spend, these luxury lotions might be just what you’re looking for.

Many of these lotions are called the best lotion for dry skin.

Thank You

Thank you for looking though our website. We hope this page listing the best lotion for dry skin was useful.

Please look through the other posts and reviews on this Lotion Challenge web site.

When looking at the game pages, the ingredients are the players and their talents are the actual features that the specific ingredient brings to the lotion.  We try to play on words for the ingredients.  But, you can use the action by an ingredient to understand what it provides, and if it violates any “rules” that would make it a “bad player” in the Lotion Challenge universe.
