10 Best Body Lotions To Choose From Under INR 1,500 Suitable For All Seasons
The Body Shop Shea Body Butter
₹1395
Shop On
A personal favourite, the Shea Body Butter from The Body Shop is something that always reminds me of winter, even though I tend to use it throughout the year! It's super moisturising, easy to work with, and despite being of a thicker consistency than most body butters I've used, it gets absorbed into the skin and doesn't feel heavy. It keeps my skin moisturised and hydrated for up to 14 hours, which I humbly appreciate! The fragrance is light with a nutty scent, and not at all on the nose. Other than that, this one is packed with 97% natural origin ingredients, is vegan, dermatologically tested, and is perfect for dry skin.

Aloe and panthenol are ingredients that work together to deeply hydrate the skin and also help soothe any skin irritation or inflammation. Plus, they're non-comedogenic and work for all skin types. All in all, they are great for helping damaged skin bounce back to its youthful suppleness. And this repair and moisturising gel from Dr. Sheth's boasts the goodness of these ingredients.
