At-a-Glance (Who It's For) (your 30-second guide)
Dealing with that sticky, uncomfortable feeling from heavy lotions in the heat can be frustrating. This lightweight formula is designed to solve that problem, delivering moisture without the greasy residue.
- Who it's for: Individuals with normal, combination, or oily body skin who dislike heavy or sticky lotions.
- What it does: Provides refreshing, long-lasting hydration, helps prevent dryness and ashiness, and supports a healthy skin barrier with a lightweight feel.
- What to expect: A non-greasy lotion that absorbs quickly, leaving skin feeling soft, fresh, and comfortably moisturised.
Quick Start (Your 60-Second Routine) (essentials for beginners)
- Cleanse: In the shower, use a gentle body wash.
- Hydrate: While skin is still slightly damp, apply the Derma: B Fresh Moisture Body Lotion to your entire body.
Mindful Tip: Already own a body lotion? Finish it first before opening a new one to prevent waste and give your current product a fair chance to work.
How to Use (Beginner-Friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
Daily Use — AM and/or PM:
- Amount: Use 1-2 pumps per limb (e.g., 1-2 for an arm, 2 for a leg). Adjust as needed based on dryness.
- Apply to: Your entire body, paying extra attention to drier areas like elbows, knees, and heels.
- Method: For best results, apply to slightly damp skin right after showering to lock in moisture. Smooth evenly until absorbed.
- Frequency: Use at least once daily. Can be used both morning and night, especially if you shower twice a day or have drier skin.
If-This / Then-That:
- If your skin feels sticky after application: You may be using too much. Try reducing the amount to one pump per area.
- If your skin still feels dry: Apply a second thin layer to particularly dry spots, or consider a richer cream for those areas, especially during cooler, drier months.
- If you have body acne: This lightweight, non-comedogenic formula is a good choice as it hydrates without clogging pores, unlike heavy butters or oils.
Safety: For external use only. Avoid applying to broken or irritated skin. Discontinue use if a rash or irritation occurs.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
- Immediately: Skin feels refreshed, soothed, and comfortably hydrated without any greasy or sticky residue. Any feeling of post-shower tightness is relieved.
- Within 1-2 Weeks: With daily use, you'll notice skin feels consistently softer and smoother throughout the day. Ashiness on melanin-rich skin is significantly reduced.
- After 4-8+ Weeks: The skin's moisture barrier is stronger and more resilient. Skin maintains its hydration levels better, appears healthier, and feels less prone to dryness or irritation from environmental factors like sun and air conditioning.
Myth Replacement (Why This, Not That) (safer, effective alternatives)
Myth: "My skin is oily, so I don't need to use body lotion, especially in Mauritius."
Reality: Oily skin can still be dehydrated (lacking water), and factors like sun, air conditioning, and frequent washing can strip its moisture barrier. Skipping moisturiser can cause the skin to produce even more oil to compensate. [cite_start]This lotion provides essential hydration with a lightweight, water-based formula that won't feel greasy or clog pores, helping to balance your skin instead. [cite: 2857, 2889]
Compatibility Guide (Layering) (what to pair it with)
-
Works Well With:
- Body Sunscreen: Apply this lotion first, let it absorb for 1-2 minutes, then apply your body sunscreen. Its lightweight texture creates a smooth base.
- Body Exfoliants (Scrubs, AHAs): Use after exfoliating to soothe and replenish moisture.
-
Use Carefully With:
- Self-Tanner: Apply to dry areas like elbows and knees before self-tanner to prevent patchy application, but wait for it to fully absorb.
-
Avoid On:
- Face: This product is formulated for the thicker skin on the body. We recommend using a dedicated facial moisturiser for your face.
Skin Type Compatibility (Is It for You?) (best fits and cautions)
- 🟢 Ideal For: Normal, Combination, and Oily body skin types looking for daily hydration without a heavy feel.
- 🟡 Good For: Sensitive skin, as Derma: B formulas are typically gentle and focus on barrier health. A patch test is still recommended.
- 🟠 Use With Caution: Very Dry Skin (Xerosis) may find this lotion too light, especially during cooler, drier months. It can be used for layering under a richer cream or oil, but may not be sufficient as a standalone moisturiser for severe dryness.
Targeted Concerns (What It Helps) (the problems it solves)
- Everyday Dehydration: Restores and maintains the skin's water content.
- Ashiness & Flakiness: Prevents the dry, ashy appearance common on melanin-rich skin by keeping it moisturised.
- Discomfort from Humidity: Provides a refreshing, non-sticky alternative to heavy creams that can feel suffocating in tropical weather.
- Post-Sun Soothing: Its lightweight, hydrating properties can help calm and soothe skin after sun exposure.
- Dull Body Skin: Improves radiance by hydrating and smoothing the skin's surface.

Climate Fit for Mauritius (Local Usage Advice) (how it performs in our weather)
- ☀️ Humid Summers: This lotion is an excellent choice for Mauritius's hot and humid summers. [cite_start]Its non-sticky, fast-absorbing formula provides necessary moisture without the heavy, suffocating feel of richer creams, helping to prevent clogged pores and discomfort. [cite: 2813]
- 🌬️ Drier Winters/AC Environments: During the slightly cooler and drier winter months, or if you spend a lot of time in air-conditioning, you may find you need to reapply it or layer it for sufficient hydration. It provides a great hydrating base layer under a richer cream or oil at night if needed.
- [cite_start]
- 🏖️ Post-Beach/Sun: After a day in the sun and sea, this lotion provides lightweight, soothing hydration to counteract the drying effects of salt water and sun exposure without feeling heavy on warm skin. [cite: 2811]
