Dry air, frequent bathing and other lifestyle or environmental factors can dehydrate your skin. Dry skin can feel uncomfortable, flake and experience painful cracks. Smooth on some of the best lotions available, as chosen by beauty magazine critics, for smoother and softer skin.

Fresh Citron de Vigne Body Lotion

"Elle" magazine's editors put Fresh's Citron de Vigne Body Lotion in its 2010 Top 10 Beauty Essentials list. The editors said they liked it because it contains shea butter and vitamins to soften even scaly skin. The lotion's fresh citrus smell is an additional perk.

Vaseline Sheer Infusion

"Glamour" magazine says Vaseline's Sheer Infusion lotion products are ideal for those who need long-lasting moisturizing. A proprietary blend of humectants and moisturizers smooth into your skin. The magazine says the result feels sheer and silky with no greasy residue.

Eucerin Daily Replenishing Lotion

"Real Simple" magazine says Eucerin's daily lotion is one of the top budget-friendly drugstore lotion brands. It's made with no fragrances and is noncomedogenic, so you can use it even if you have sensitive skin.

Lubriderm Advanced Therapy Triple Smoothing Body Lotion

Lubriderm's advanced body lotion won the coveted Best of Beauty award from "Allure" magazine's 2009 Best of Beauty list. Editors said it beat out more expensive products, and they especially liked its alpha hydroxy acids, which help exfoliate and smooth your skin.

L'Occitane Almond Milk Veil

L'Occitane's body lotion uses exotic almond protein to help feed, hydrate and firm your skin, according to "Elle" magazine. The magazine's editors said it's one of the best lotions available, calling it one of 2010's "new must-have products." Its humectant properties draw moisture from the air to hydrate your skin.

Neutrogena Age Shield Hand Cream SPF 30

"Allure" magazine awarded Neutrogena's hand cream a spot in its Best of Beauty 2009 listing. It contains Helioplex, which is a broad-spectrum sunscreen that can help keep signs of sun damage, such as liver spots, from appearing. The magazine notes that the lotion absorbs quickly into your skin so your hands aren't left feeling greasy.
