St Ives Body Lotion

This stuff makes your skin so smooth ! i swear the bottle magically tops up aswell because i havent run out yet and ive been using it for so long

I've been using this range of lotions for about 10 years. There is just so much to love about them. They come in a large pump bottle for under $10, you can easily find them at the supermarket, there is a good range of different scents and they make my skin feel nice. I have dry skin and I need to moisturize my whole body everyday after my shower otherwise my skin starts feeling scaly and gross by the end of the day. These lotions really help to keep that moisture in my skin and smell great while doing it. I'm currently using the naturally indulgent coconut milk and orchid extract which smells Devine. The consistency is a thickish lotion, it's not butter thick but it's not runny either. It's easy to rub in but it's not super quick absorbing and that is probably my only tiny gripe about these.

I love trying out new body lotions but this brand and Palmers cocoa butter are the two that i always re purchase. I really couldn't say how many bottles of this I've gone through over the Years! I would definitely recommend giving this a go, you can even pick it up with the groceries and it doesn't have to count as a beauty Purchase! ;)

The Oatmeal Shea variety is hydrating was a little stingy on my face but this was not everytime I applied it anyway its for the body I did find it a little greasy and it did not absorb as fast as some others I think this one is perhaps richer. The packaging is simple I think I like their classic packaging better pumps can be annoying for on the go travelling There is one with collagen for anti aging to give skin a boost which is rather good for the body and decollete but it seemed to get a bit runny after a while so I am not sure it has a good shelf life. Not a bad product being natural it has to be favourable.

I have really dry legs and this product is great. As it says I believe it is fast absorbing as soon as I apply it my legs they stop itching. It is a nice smooth consistency which I don't mind rubbing the extra into my hands. It smells amazing I have the coconut milk one. The pump bottle is awesome as you don't have to worry about closing a lid. It's really great value for money and lasts for ages been in the big bottles,. You only need about a 20c coin amount on your hand for both legs. Love this product!

I use the Oatmeal Shea one as I have particularly dry and sensitive skin and found this product not too over powering in scent and worked well to alleviate the dry itchiness I normally experience, it's thick creamy texture is devine, but it absorbs well and is non greasy. I found it worked well to make my skin feel more soft and supple. The oatmeal was really soothing. I LOVEE this product so much, and it's easy enough to get it all out of the bottle with a little bang on the table.

I have dry,itchy skin and the oatmeal shea is ideal for me I use this after showering and especially after shaving. It leaves my skin soft and non greasy I would recommend to any one who does not have a lot of time as it's simple and you dont have to wait it for it to absorb

I use this product usually on my legs and it keeps them moisturised most of the day. It has a suttle smell to it. I think mine it the oatmeal one and is not overpowering which I like. The consistency of the product is quite thick which is consistent with body moisturisers. It is quite greasy which I do not like about it. Because its quite greasy you need to leave it for a few minutes before putting clothes on as it can get greasy marks on your clothing. It dries at the end of the pump so you end up spreading a dry clump onto your leg if you don't remove it before hand. If you were using this on a day-to-day basis this probably wouldn't happen but I am terrible at remembering to moisturise my legs and the rest of my body and always in a rush so when I do remember to moisturise my legs I will usually end up with the dry clump on my leg haha! I love the pump its easy to use and especially when I am in a rush its quick to use! For me this product tends to last a long time. I am at the end of mine at the moment so I will be buying more of it :)

I have had this moisturizer for so long and have only just used it up. Part of the reason I hadn't used it up fast enough was the pump.

The pump, is a genius idea, but the product is too thick. With each pump, I got less and less product on my hand, and I used about 4-5 pumps for my body. So that was annoying. And about 1/4 of the product was stuck in the bottom of the massive bottle, because the pump somehow pushed it away and made a well around itself, so the product wouldn't go up.

The smell, while not overpowering, got boring after a while. I'll admit it was nice at first but after using it everyday it got just... boring. Nothing was exciting enough for me to want to write home about it, and nothing will make me remember how amazing it was.

I will say though, it absorbed really quickly and that's always a plus. Otherwise, I don't see myself repurchasing this product, which is a shame. Maybe a different smell would be better? Or perhaps this stuff just isn't for me :-)

I love the oatmeal and Shea butter body cream, smells lovely, makes my skin feel great and it's a great price too. I go back to it time and time again after trying others which may be on special and always come back to it cos it is the best. Definitely recommend this body moisturiser!

As far as an all body moisturiser goes this stuff is pretty great. I usually buy the Coconut Milk and Orchid but at the moment I'm using the Vitamin E. I love how fresh the scent is without being too overpowering, it also doesn't irritate my skin. I also find that it absorbs quickly and doesn't leave a greasy feeling on my skin after I've applied it. My boyfriend even uses it on sunburn. The only downside is that it is quite hard to get the last of the product out, normally I cut the bottle in half. It would be great if they could make a travel sized bottle.
