The average lotion doesn’t always cut it when it comes to keeping ashy summer skin at bay.

Your skin can dry out while you’re soaking up the sun and taking dips in the pool and ocean during summer months , so it’s important to have an ultra-moisturizing product on hand to keep your skin hydrated and glowing. Enter body butters, which tend to have a thicker texture than most lotions, and keep skin moisturized without having to reapply the product again.

Take a peek at the five ultra-moisturizing body butters you need to try this summer.

I first tried this product after meeting the founder, Chris, at an event in Los Angeles last year. After one application of Naturally London Nourishing Foot Butter ($20.00, naturallylondon.com), I was sold. The butter, specifically designed for feet, has a premium blend of Avocado butter, Cupuacu butter and Jojoba oil, and a creamy formulation that absorbs quickly and hydrates the skin.
