Are all body butters good for your skin during winter or cold weather?

I’m a person that has never wore any lotions or cream in her life before but now that I’m moving to a colder country which is The Netherlands, I’ve heard that we have to take care of our skin since the weather can dry our skin and also heaters can be damaging to the skin.

I’ve decided to buy a body butter from Victoria Secret and I was wondering if all body butters even the ones from Victoria Secret will help hydrate my skin from drying out in the cold weather.

Are lotions or body butter better?
What would you recommend as the best body butter to use?
