The secret’s out! The Ella & Jo Body Moments Collection has arrived, bringing you indulgent, nourishing body care created to give you a spa experience in your own home.
One of the star products in the collection is our innovative new hero: The Moisture Moment Wet Skin Moisturiser. This clever, fast-absorbing formula lets you apply moisturiser directly to damp skin – yes, you heard that right! Keep reading to learn exactly how to use wet skin moisturiser, and why we think it’s the best post-shower moisturiser for an effortless body care routine.
What is a Wet Skin Moisturiser?
A wet skin moisturiser is exactly what it sounds like – a hydrating cream designed to be applied to freshly showered damp skin. Unlike traditional body lotions, there is no need to towel dry before applying the formula; you simply smooth it onto damp skin, get dressed and go!
After you shower, your skin is saturated with water and pores are softened from the heat and steam; this is the ideal moment to apply a moisturiser as your skin is ready to absorb hydration. The Ella & Jo Wet Skin Moisturiser is formulated to help trap this water in the skin and draw moisture into the deeper layers.
We’ve also made sure that the texture is lightweight and silky, so it glides over damp skin. There’s no stickiness and no residue, just smooth, radiant skin in seconds and most importantly, no wait time before dressing. It will make your daily moisturising after shower ritual effortless.
The Benefits of Using a Wet Skin Moisturiser
There are so many benefits to using a moisturiser for damp skin:
Maximum hydration: Unlike traditional body lotions that sit on top of the skin, a wet skin moisturiser is designed to lock in moisture while your skin is still damp. This helps to enhance skin barrier protection and maintain moisture throughout the day, making it the ideal dry skin solution.
If your regular body cream leaves you feeling dry by evening, it may be time to upgrade to The Moisture Moment. Infused with hyaluronic acid and rich cocoa butter, this nourishing formula delivers deep hydration for beautifully soft, comfortable skin from your morning shower to bedtime.
Quick absorption: Let’s be honest, sometimes it’s tempting to skip our daily body moisturiser. After hair washing, shaving, exfoliating and towel drying, the last thing you want to be struggling with is pulling tight clothes over sticky skin.
This is where a wet skin moisturiser makes all the difference. There’s no need to towel dry first; just apply it straight onto damp skin post-shower and then pat dry if needed. That’s it! No waiting, no stickiness and no fuss.
The Moisture Moment Wet Skin Moisturiser is a quick-absorbing moisturiser that melts instantly into skin, leaving it soft, smooth and ready to go. You can get dressed immediately with no waiting around and get on with your day. It’s our secret weapon for a streamlined, time-saving beauty routine!
Spa experience: When we created The Moisture Moment Wet Skin Moisturiser, we wanted it to be more than just an excellent, lightweight body moisturiser; we wanted it to be an experience. We combined the best ingredients, including cocoa butter and fruit extracts, to ensure you enjoy a sensory, spa-like skin care ritual every single day. Breathe in the soothing scent of the spa as the silky lotion glides over your skin – we promise it’s the best way to start the day (and get glowing skin!).
Key Ingredients in Our Wet Skin Moisturiser
Ella & Jo The Moisture Moment Wet Skin Moisturiser is infused with a host of special ingredients to moisturise damp skin:
Hyaluronic acid: A hero ingredient in any deeply hydrating body lotion, hyaluronic acid is a moisture magnet that can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. It helps to replenish hydration in deeper layers of skin and keeps your skin feeling soft and plump throughout the day.
Cocoa butter: This rich, natural emollient works to soften and smooth the skin. Cocoa butter acts as a moisture shield, helping to prevent water loss and restore the skin’s protective barrier. It feels nourishing and soothing, and is especially effective for very dry or flaky skin.
Niacinamide: Also known as Vitamin B3, niacinamide is best known for its role in skincare, but it is just as beneficial for the body as it is for the face. This multitasker works to even out skin tone and improve rough texture on your arms and thighs, while also calming redness or irritation.
Fruit extracts: Packed with antioxidants, fruit extracts are a key ingredient for supporting skin renewal and collagen production – now you can look forward to brighter, luminous skin from head to toe.
Steps to Use a Wet Skin Moisturiser
Step 1: Apply to damp skin
Our wet skin moisturiser is designed to be used immediately after showering when the skin is still damp. This allows the product to lock in moisture and prevent water loss. Step out of the shower and apply generously, straight onto wet skin. It may feel counterintuitive at first, but trust us, the formula will glide over your skin and absorb quickly without leaving any residue.
Step 2: Pat dry with a towel
After applying The Wet Skin Moisturiser, you may want to gently pat the skin dry. Make sure to be gentle and avoid rubbing your skin; this could cause irritation. And… that’s it! Your skin is beautifully hydrated and you’re ready to get dressed – it really is as simple as that! Now you can enjoy the convenience of a fast body hydration ritual as part of your everyday shower skincare routine.
Step 3: Layer for extra hydration (optional!)
This step is for those with extremely dry skin, or when your skin needs a little extra TLC during winter months. After applying The Wet Skin Moisturiser, follow with a body oil for even more hydration and a luminous, silky finish. Although this isn’t essential, it’s an indulgent treat for dehydrated skin days.
Time-Saving Routine
With The Moisture Moment Wet Skin Moisturiser, your whole post-shower skincare routine takes less than a minute. This quick-absorbing, non-sticky lotion is ideal for anyone who’s in a rush in the morning (that’s most of us!) and is a great way to keep your skin healthy and hydrated without the wait time of traditional lotions. Now there really is no excuse for not treating yourself to a moment of me-time every single day.
Frequency of Use
We recommend using The Moisture Moment Wet Skin Moisturiser daily for the best results. Keep it next to your shower and make it part of your daily ritual to see your skin transform. For very dry, dehydrated skin, you may want to pair it with a body oil 2-3 times per week to top up hydration.
Is Moisturising After Showering Really Necessary?
Wondering if you really need to moisturise after your shower? The short answer is yes. Showering with hot water strips the skin of its natural oils, leaving the barrier weakened. Without replenishing that lost moisture, your skin can quickly become dehydrated, tight and itchy.
The first few minutes after showering are when your skin is most receptive. This is the best time to lock in hydration and prevent transepidermal water loss. That’s where The Moisture Moment Wet Skin Moisturiser comes in. It’s applied when the skin is damp and absorbs quickly to maximise water retention, without leaving a sticky residue. This method is a major time saver, without compromising your skin’s hydration – ideal for busy mornings when you want soft, silky skin and need to get dressed and out of the door, fast.
