Lightweight Body Moisturizers That Won’t Leave You Feeling Sticky

The weather is hard to predict  during the transition from summer to fall. There will be some days that resemble a cool, crisp fall morning and other days when it’s 80 degrees and humid outside. Of all the skin-care products that can feel like too much in warm weather, creamy body lotion easily ranks at the top. That extra layer of cream just doesn’t pair well with sweat.Luckily, there are plenty of light yet nourishing options available. Check out our favorite fast-absorbing body moisturizers to use in humid weather below. 

The Best Body Moisturizers for Humid Weather

Vichy Ideal Body Serum-Milk

This body lotion is formulated with hyaluronic acid, micro-exfoliating LHA and ten essential oils, including jojoba, sunflower, rose hip and apricot kernel. It offers the freshness of a cooling gel and provides the comfort of a nourishing body lotion. Plus, it doesn’t leave behind a sticky or greasy residue. 

CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion

If you have a normal to dry skin type, consider picking up this CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion. It hydrates the skin without making it feel greasy or weighed down thanks to its lightweight and oil-free formula. Apply it in the morning to give your skin long-lasting hydration that lasts for up to 24 hours. 

Kiehl’s Superbly Restorative Argan Body Lotion

Not only will this body lotion provide a non-sticky layer of hydration on those humid days, but it also helps improve the skin’s texture and tone. Infused with Moroccan argan oil and argan leaf extract, this lightweight formula gives your skin a healthy dose of antioxidants and essential fatty acids. 

Carol’s Daughter All Natural Body Jelly

Jelly formulas are great in the heat because they don’t feel as heavy as thicker creams. Blended with almond oil and jojoba oil, this all-natural body jelly can hydrate, smooth and nourish your skin. You can apply it all over your body, including your elbows, lips and heels. The product also serves double-duty as a makeup remover. 

La Roche-Posay Lipikar Lotion 

This formula is best suited for dry to normal skin because it packs in serious hydration while still feeling lightweight. The fast-absorbing, non-sticky lotion contains shea butter and glycerin to leave the skin feeling smoother, soothed and hydrated after every use.
