Body Lotions

I have been recommended the L`Occitain Milk Concentrate it is a almond based body firming cream, the lady told me is was nice and lightweight which is what I am after, will report back after I give it a try tomorrow 🙂

StIves is great – not expensive and really does the job. I am using 24 Hour Moisture and it really keeps my legs soft all day. Even with my eczema. I tried Body Shop Hemp Body Butter which was supposed to help for inflamed skin but only made it worse. Now recovering with St Ives again 🙂

As far as supermarket products go the Nivea ageing range is really good as well. I had the neck and décolletage moisturiser and it`s really nice.

I love light lotions with fresh, clean, floral-cream type scents like the scents of Nivea creme, Dove replenishing, and Decleor system corps. At the moment my HG is Dior`s Hydraction body sorbet emulsion because of the scent and because its lighter than the others above. Can anyone recommend other similar lotions in both lightness and scent? Has anyone tried the St Ives Collagen Elastin or any of their others?

Glad to hear that the body shop one is ok for your sensitive skin, I was concerned about irritants in their products but I don`t seem to have any bother when using the body butter either 🙂

I`m a body lotion junkie… I just seem to accumulate them. Not that it makes much sense though because really, I`ve used the Body Shop Body Butter for years and years now. I have really sensitive skin, and prone to ecxema on my legs (especially in the winter) but I truly hate not using scented lotions – Body Shop body butter is sooo soothing, and I can use it without any irritation! My favourite thing to do is to mix up my own scent. Like Coconut and Mango. Or Papaya and Strawberry for a lighter moisture. And because they`re made for different skin types, this also allows me to customize for how dry my skin might be! Perfect I say!

I am onto it, seeing as I am a HUGE fan of body washes, this is on the top of my list, must have everything coconut 🙂

I have, I absolutely adore the cocoa butter shower gel, it`s gorgeous in every way. I`m using up the olive oil one at the moment, but as soon as I see the cocoa one on special somewhere I`ll be grabbing a few bottles!
I`ll be getting the handgel when my current one runs out too.

It`s always one I come back to! Have you tried the sulphate free shower gel and hand soap yet ibutler?

Yeah I find the same thing Elmo, even after hearing horrible things about mineral oil, I just can`t give up cocoa butter… if I don`t put it on for a day, my skin gets itchy and dry straight away… like now in fact!!!
