Nivea Nourishing Body Milk for Very Dry Skin Review

by Harini

Hey Ladies!
Today’s review is about a skin care product from one of world’s largest skin care brand – NIVEA. Nivea is one of the internationally leading companies with more than 130 years experience in skin care. I was using Vaseline aloe fresh and was quite happy with the product. And now since summers are gone, its time for me to switch to a better moisturize.

When I was looking for a moisturizer in health and glow store, I came across this Nivea Nourishing Body milk. It’s been years I have used Nivea. Still with complete trust I went ahead and brought this one. Let’s see how it fared on my dry skin.

Price and Quantity:

Rs.198 for 250 ml

Ingredients:

Aqua, Paraffinum Liquidium, C13-16 Isoparaffin Alcohol Content:3.6% v/v with 1% Diethyl phthalate, Glycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glycerile Stearate Citrate, Dimethicone, Maris Sal, Glyceryl Glucoside, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis oil, Sodium Carbomer, Phenoxyethanol. Methylparaben, Parfum.

Shelf Life:

29 months

Claims of the Body Lotion:

Nivea Nourishing Body Milk Long-lasting & intensive care for very dry skin.Enriched with Natual Minerals and Moisturizers, NIVEA Nourishing Body Milk works deep within the skin repairing dryness layer by layer & stimulating moisture production naturally.The rich and creamy formula with Almond oil provides effective care for proven smoother skin.Skin compatability dermatologically proven.Fosters new Aquaporins – skin’s own hydration channels.Use regularly to support a natural 24+ moisture.

My Take on Nivea Nourishing Body Milk:

I brought this product last month and have been using it everyday. The product comes in the usual Nivea blue colored plastic container with a sturdy cap.

The colour of this nourishing milk is white with a creamy texture. The smell is very close to age-old Nivea small blue tin dabba. I quite like the smell as it’s so refreshing .As soon as the body milk is applied, it gives a cooling sensation. The light texture of this body milk makes the skin to absorb quickly. I am happy with the moisturising past as well .My skin does not feel dry or stretchy.

The product lives to its claim except the 24+ moisture part. The body milk worked very well on my dry skin and lasts up to 10 hours (I think its fair good for any moisturizer). After that you might need to re-apply. So far I am satisfied with the product. On the whole this is one typical Nivea product you can trust.

PROS of Nivea Nourishing Body Milk:

Good moisturising effect.
Cooling sensation when applied.
Skin absorbs easily.
Doesn’t leave oily tint on skin.
Very refreshing fragrance.
29 months shelf life is pretty good.
Strong bottle with sturdy cap makes it travel friendly.

CONS of Nivea Nourishing Body Milk:

Tongue twisting chemical names on ingredients.
Fragrance doesn’t stay long.
False claim on 24+ moisture.

MABH Rating: 4.2/5

So Do I Suggest this Body Lotion to You?:

I do suggest this body milk for girls looking for a light yet effective moisturizer for dry skin.

Will I Repurchase?:

I think no. During winter I will get back to body butters.

Dove Essential Nourishment Body Lotion Review

by Dhanashree

Hello beautiful girls!
First of all I would like to thank everyone for such a warm welcome and appreciating my first review – Nature’s Essence Papaya Facial Kit Review. In my today’s review I am going to introduce to you a perfect Body Lotion. I had bought this last year during winters and still using it.

Dove Products are always my favorite. I have tried all their products from shampoos till deodorants. First of all they are pocket friendly and they suit me really well. Anyways back to the body lotion. Today I am going to talk about Dove Essential Nourishing Body Lotion.

Claims of the Body Lotion:

Its true what they say- beauty starts from the inside, That is exactly why Dove Essential Nourishment Body Lotion has been especially formulated to work deep down . This Body lotion not only moisturizes the surface of your skin, it also delivers deep nourishment for long lasting beautifully soft and smooth skin. Dermatologically Tested.

Price:

Rs. 180 for 250 ml

Ingredients:

Shelf Life:

24 Months

My Take on Dove Essential Nourishment Body Lotion:

As I have already mentioned, I had bought this first bottle in last year during winters. Prior to that I was using Vaseline Cocoa Body lotion and was quiet happy with that. But I wanted to try something new, so I got this. It is a white lotion with creamy consistency. It was not at all greasy. The smell is very nice which reminds me a Dove Soap.

It comes in regular flip cap bottle. It gets absorbed in my skin easily. I generally use it twice in day, once after shower and once before heading to the bed. I found moisturizing effect very good though they have claimed 24 hours, according to my experience it stays for around 4 to 5 hours during winters.

I have even used this body lotion during summers. The effect lasts till very next day. So it became my favorite in summers as well. Since the monsoon has already arrived, it has started affecting on my skin as well. My skin has turned little bit dry. In this situation again this lotions comes to the rescue.

PROS of the Body Lotion:

Affordable
Available in Most of the stores
Hydrates the skin, Leaves soft and Smooth skin behind
Not at all greasy
Dry skin people can use it in Summers as well
Gets easily absorbed in skin without any much effort

CONS of the Body Lotion:

Didn’t live up to the claim of 24 hrs moisturizing effect, especially during winters.

MABH Rating: 4/5

Do I Recommend?:

Yes!

Would I Repurchase?:

Of course, It’s my favorite and I would recommend it to all the girls who want to keep their skin happy in every season

Johnson’s Baby Lotion Review, Swatches and Photos

My Take on Johnson’s Baby Lotion:

This baby lotion comes in a simple baby pink colored plastic bottle with a sturdy flip type cap. You can also screw open the cap to get the product out. The packaging makes the lotion easy to use, travel friendly and handy.

The lotion is light pink in color (like that of strawberry ice cream) and has a moderately thin consistency. On application, it spreads smoothly onto the skin and gives that nice cooling effect. The fragrance is of course the typical Johnson’s baby one – very mild, pleasant and baby-sh.

Once I apply this lotion to my face, it calms down all the dry patches, roughness and leaves skin smooth and moisturized. As it is light, it might suit many skin types. I have a normal-oily skin and hence I don’t use it as my day cream. If used on oily skin, it leaves skin greasy after 2-3 hours.

But when I used this as my night cream, my skin left extremely smooth and baby soft in the morning. It did not cause any breakout or allergies as it’s a product meant for sensitive skin of babies. Overall, this is a very good buy for the affordable price. Though I don’t use this baby lotion everyday, I want this in my stash to feel like a baby 😛 I will always get it only for the heavenly fragrance.

PROS of Johnson’s Baby Lotion:

Inexpensive
Good packaging
Handy and travel friendly
Instantly cures dry patches
Very light, but yet moisturizing
Perfect moisturizer for dry skin types
Normal skin types will love it as a night cream
With regular usage, it keeps skin dryness at bay
Available everywhere! Really!
A small 50 ml bottle lasts for months
Can also be used as a light body lotion to smell like a baby
Very mild and skin
Can be used as a makeup remover
Has multiple benefits

CONS of Johnson’s Baby Lotion:

Not suitable for extra dry skin types in winters
If you are not fond of baby product fragrances, then it is not for you.
Contains mineral oil

MABH Rating: 4/5

Do I Recommend?:

I highly recommend this pink baby lotion to everyone who love baby product fragrances. If you are a mommy who is looking out for mild lotions for your baby, then might like it. But make sure your baby is not allergic to the fragrance as I feel Johnson’s baby fragrances are bit overpowering for the babies. If you have normal-dry skin, you will absolutely love it! If you have normal-oily skin type, then try it in winter as your night cream. Extra dry skin types will need reapplication twice-thrice a day.

Would I Repurchase?:

Yes! I will. I don’t think I will be finishing my 50 ml bottle for the next few months. But once it gets over, I will surely repurchase it. I also have the white (milk) variant but I find this pink bottle more pleasing in terms of fragrance compared to that.
