What is the best kind of body lotion to help maintain youthful skin?
ByWhat should I be looking for? I dont have wrinkles (I’m 28) but I want to start using a body lotion (mostly at night after I shower) that will help maintain younger looking skin. Should I be looking for certain vitamins in the lotions? Does anyone have any recommendations?

Vitamin E is a good one for skin health.
You can also try Cocoa b**ter.

vaseline – it’s all about keeping moisture in.
Eat a healthy diet, stay out of the sun, don’t smoke, and get plenty of rest.

Nivea or baby lotion. Both are great for the long haul.

Vaseline Intensive Care. Its really good for keeping in moisture, it isn’t incredibly expensive, it has vitamin E, which is really good for keeping away wrinkles. Its non greasy, and it doesn’t have a god awful overwhelmingly sweet scent.
(Cocoa b**ter is nice, but its greasy, and has a really strong smell)
(Retinal A might have long term side effects, the FDA has said they don’t know how safe it is to use over a long period of time….)

The others answerers are right vitamin e is excellent for the skin
But get this specific lotion. My mom been using this stuff since she was 20 and she has NO wrinkles at all. It works.

Anything with collagen, silicone & vitamins. Vaseline is okay but I would go 2 a dermotologist 4 something stronger.

Short answer: aveeno
Long answer: Healthy skin starts on the inside. Its nice to think that something topical could keep our skin healthy, but it just isn’t this way. Creams can help, but its only temporary. I like aveeno myself. Its light and soothing on dry skin. Lack of lipids and collagen elastin causes wrinkles. So something with those ingredients in it could help soothe for the most part. One of the best ways to prevent wrinkles is to always have sunscreen on. If you use a night cream or moisturizer on your face like i do, mix in some sunscreen into it.
Keep yourself well hydrated. I know its been said, but there’s truth to it. There’s weird little tips that people have like.. not to frown, not to make kissy faces, like when you smoke a cigarette or drink through a straw, but i mean.. if you’re going to consciously not do normal things like that just so you don’t eventually get wrinkles.. its a little overboard in my books.
Health radiates through your skin, just take good care of yourself and it will show
