I am back with a review on Dove body lotion. Summer is here and Iām sure none of us would like to slather heavy moisturizers on our skin. Short and sweet, this is a light body lotion perfect for summers. š

Price and Quantity:
Rs.80 for 100 ml; Rs.180 for 250 ml
My Experience:
This is one of my favorite body lotions for summer. It comes in a white plastic bottle with a flip flop cap. the lotion is light green in color. It smells fresh exactly like the dove go fresh bars. So refreshing and pleasant. But doesn’t linger for a long time.
The texture of the lotion is very light. It gets absorbed so easily. It is non greasy, so you will love it during summers. What I love the most with this lotion is, it gives a THANDA THANDA effect right after you finish applying it, which is to be welcomed during GARAM GARAM summers. But it doesn’t keep your skin moisturized for a long time.
Dry skinned girls will definitely feel to reapply it with a decent interval of time. It has become my HG body lotion for summers.
PROS:
Affordable
Availability
Light texture, absorbs easily
Cooling effect
Moisturizes well
Nice smell
CONS:
24hrs claim is wrong
Might not suit very dry skinned ones
No SPF
Rating: 4/5
Do I Recommend?:
Yes, for those in search of a light body lotion for summers.
Would I Repurchase?:
It is my HG body lotion for summers. So I will definitely.
The Body Shop is a renowned brand worldwide providing quality products made from natural ingredients. Other than full sized products TBS also provides some gift packs and kits at various prices for different occasions. So this body lotion came along a small kit of Atlas Mountain Bath and Body Range with an Atlas Mountain Rose Shower Gel and a loofah.
These kits are great for gifting as well as trying products before purchasing the full sized ones. So as the theme is rose the packaging of this Cube Kit was pink with a pink shower loofah along with the shower gel and body lotion.
The packaging of TBS products are always quite well and of great quality. Here the packaging is a flip cap bottle with the product name and picture pasted on the bottle itself. It is not tacky or cheap but superior quality. The price, manufacturing details as well as ingredients are mentioned on the bottle.
The product is a white looking watery liquid. It is a bit runny and one needs very little product per use so this small bottle will last sometime.
The smell is quite nice too. The smell is a floral rosy smell which stays at least 2 hours after applying and then fades. The lotion is not very heavy so those with very dry skin will not get great hydration from this one.
While I and HE (Would be Hubby) both love the smell and find it both romantic and very feminine. It is a bit artificial and strong too so those with sensitive noses so do try it before purchasing. The reason I love it is the smell stays for a long time .
PROS:
Natural ingredients causing no side effects and irritations
Light so can be applied all over the year
Smells very nice and the smell fragrance stays for nearly 2 hours
Great for gifting
CONS:
Price
Quantity seems very less
The Body shop is available online but some feel a lack of availability due to the lack of outlets.
Limited Edition
Rating: 3/5
Will I suggest?:
Though both HE and I love the smell I feel it’s not something one should definitely have. You can try it at the store and then decide to buy.
Today, I shall beĀ reviewing the Dove Body cream. As far as I have observed most of the girls are more into lotions now a days. Since creams areĀ believedĀ to be greasy and thick and leave you feeling all coated :/ But this one is different! It is light andĀ doesn’tĀ make you feel as if you have layered yourself in some oily substance! Let us check more about the product. Read on to know more!
Price and Quantity:
Rs.380 for 300 ml tub
My Take:
This body lotion comes in a white plastic tub which is very elegant just like any other dove product. It has a screw type lid. The tub is not very handy and travel friendly. It is quite big and tough to carry in an average sized handbag š However, you can transfer some cream in another container if you need to carry it.
The lotion has a very Ā light creamy consistency (like that of whipped cream). It gives a smooth and hassle free application, absorbs quickly and deeply into skin. Fragrance is very mild and should not be a problem for sensitive noses.
A routine use body lotion which as per me holds equally good for face as well.Ā In fact I have personally been using it for face and neck exclusively. It is non greasy, spreads evenly on skin. It is essentially water based yet rich enough to penetrate deeply in skin and make it feel nourished and supple. Best part is that it can be used in summers too! However, store it in refrigerator in summers if you want it to maintain its properties.
I once tried using it as a cleansing cream and I swear, it worked like magic!! Also, it works good as a massage cream due to it’s absolutely perfect consistency.
All the routine MABH readers might also be aware about the DIY day cream tutorial. For making my own day cream I had used dove silky nourishment body cream along with aloe vera gel,Ā sunscreenĀ and compact powder. I must mention it didĀ completeĀ justice to the recipe. So, it serves well as a multipurpose cream!
It is useful for all skin types. I personally feel this should suit everyone and can be used all throughout the year! it also works well as a day as well as night cream due to the nourishment it provides and very mild smell.
PROS:
Affordable
Easily available
Can be used in summers as well as winters
Works well for body and face
Can be used as a night cream also due to deep nourishment it gives.
Perfect texture and consistency
Non greasy
Quick absorb
Can also be tried as a massage cream
Reusable tub
CONS:
Big tub is not travel friendly
Tub packing also makes the use bit unhygienic so make sure to wash your hands before using it and try not to share this one with somebody else š
I reallyĀ don’tĀ have moreĀ negativesĀ to offer. I am in love with the product!
Do I Recommend?:
Yes! From oily to normal to sensitive skin everyone should try it once. The price is a little high but it is worth it. You would not be disappointed with this one, I am pretty sure of that š
Will I Repurchase?:
Oh yes! Without a doubt š for indefinite periods of time I guess.
