**Question:** Which body lotion is good for rough, bumpy skin?

**Short answer:** Sol de Janeiro Bom Dia Bright Body Cream has the best record for rough, bumpy skin and is the best pick sold on Amazon: 27 of 27 shoppers said it left their skin smoother and softer. Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Pink Dream Body Cream (21 of 21), Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream (13 of 13) and Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter (11 of 11) also have no failures, though all four rest on small groups, so the order is a close call. Each record counts just shoppers who said they have rough or bumpy skin.

**What stands out:** Scent draws praise across the list, from 47% of Josie Maran reviews up to 67% of Glow Recipe reviews, with 65% for Bom Dia Bright and 62% for Brazilian Bum Bum. Those shares count every review of each product, not just shoppers who stated a result.

## Questions

**Which body lotion works for rough, bumpy skin?**

Sol de Janeiro Bom Dia Bright Body Cream has the best record (27 of 27), followed by Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Pink Dream Body Cream (21 of 21), Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream (13 of 13) and Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter (11 of 11). None of the four had a failure, so their order follows how many shoppers stated a result.

**Do body lotions help with KP or strawberry legs?**

Shoppers who described rough or bumpy skin, such as KP or strawberry legs, said these lotions left their skin smoother and softer. Those are reports of how skin felt and looked, not medical results. Bumps that itch, hurt, spread or don't change are worth showing to a dermatologist. If a lotion lists acids in its ingredients, patch test it on a small area first and stop if it stings or turns red.

**Does Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream irritate skin?**

None of the shoppers with rough or bumpy skin who stated a result reported stinging or irritation. Irritation does come up often in the cream's reviews overall, so if your skin reacts easily, try a small area first and wait a day before using it more widely.

**Which of these body lotions can I buy on Amazon?**

Sol de Janeiro Bom Dia Bright Body Cream, Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Pink Dream Body Cream and Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream have official Amazon listings, sold by the brand or by Amazon itself. Sol de Janeiro Bom Dia Bright Body Cream is the best pick sold on Amazon at 27 of 27, and it is also the leader. Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter is sold there by third-party sellers, not the brand.
