Lotion is important all year long, but it’s a definite must in the summer months. Summer styles reveal lots of skin, and you want yours to be healthy and glowing.

Neutrogena’s light sesame formula body lotion is the perfect lotion for summer. The mixture of lotion and sesame oil makes the product much lighter than the average lotion. It leaves your skin soft and moisturized without leaving a greasy film on your skin. This lotion has a light, airy scent — enough to be refreshing, but not enough to overpower. Neutrogena body lotion comes in two sizes; the 8-ounce bottle ($4.99 at Target.com) is just right for your purse or beach bag, and the 32-ounce pump bottle is perfect for your bathroom counter or bedside table.
Nivea Smooth Sensation

This light lotion is specially formulated for dry skin, so it’s exactly what you need to get rid of your flaky winter skin. Nivea Smooth Sensation is a triple-threat to dryness, enriched with Shea butter, vitamin E and ginkgo. Pick it up at Walmart.com for just $5.97 for 13.5 ounces.
