St Ives Body Lotion

I bought the DAILY HYDRATING VITAMIN E from the supermarket as it was on special ($7.99 for such a big bottle seemed like a bargain to me!) and I have been looking for a new, rich moisturiser as my skin is very dry at the moment.

The consistency is THICK. As in, so thick it's hard to get out of the bottle let alone try using the pump. Once I managed to get some out, it seemed pretty good and I slathered it all over. However, less than half an hour later my skin felt tight, dry and itchy so I went back to the bathroom for a second coat! I have been using this for a couple of weeks, and although it claims to improve your skin over time, my skin is just as dry as it was before using this.

When the bottle is finished, I don't think I will be buying this again.

I've been using St Ives Coconut Milk & Orchid Extract Body Lotion for about a year now and absolutely love it! The smell is gorgeous and not too strong, but lingers to leave your skin smelling good all day/night. It's a very thick moisturiser, and you only need 1-2 pumps to cover your whole body. It definitely does what it says it will, i use it straight after the shower and then either in the morning or evening before bed and my skin remains soft and moisturised until my next application. I definitely recommend this, it's one I've bought a few times so far and will continue to purchase from now on.

One of my favourite brands for body moisturizer. My absolute favourite one is Coconut Milk and Orchid which is great for sensitive skin (but also great for any skin type). It is non-greasy and just one pump covers a whole leg. This moisturiser lasts a long time and between my flat of 5 girls, we've only had to buy 2 this whole year. Highly recommended and smells delicious.

I started using the skin renewing body lotion after I had my daughter. I think it works really well and I like how lib lasting it is. A little goes a long way. I love how non greasy and smooth it is :). Feels amazing on your skin!

Today I will be reviewing the Mineral Therapy "flavour".

I LOVE this stuff!!!

It has.such a yummy, subtle, almost baby-esque smell. It's nice on it's own but not overpowering or conflicting if you wanted to wear perfume.

The formulation is thick and creamy but absorbs really quickly and is one of the few products I'll use after a night shower and hop straight into bed without fear of the dreaded greasy yuck sheet feeling.

My skin is left feeling soft and smooth it's great for upkeep but as it's a just a lotion it can't work miracles. For serious scales or dry patches you're going to need something a little more heavy duty.

The one slight gripe I have with this is that it has weird little brown specks in it (the minerals maybe?) that don't always crush as I'm applying. I don't think they're visible to anyone who isn't two inches from my skin though and they do absorb it's not a major issue.

Wow!! All these lotions are amazing, I love the smell of there lotion and how they have the pump so it's easy to just pump the lotion out instead of always having to take off a lid! This lotion always leaves my skin feeling nice and soft and feeling amazing, perfect for dry skin!

These moisturisers are amazing! I got quite badly sunburnt the other day (naughty me) and had no aloe Vera so I lathered on my oatmeal Shea and my skin was instantly feeling better- the next day there was no itch either. I have this in my bathroom and everyone in the family uses it including my hubby as it doesn't smell 'girly'

Amazing moisturiser. Definitely non-greasy, and absorbs quite fast leaving my skin extremely smooth and soft. Everyone in my family uses this now, and with some having sensitive skin, no reactions have been noticed at all. Also love the big bottle as it lasts forever, and the pump on the top makes it super easy to use instead of having to squeeze a bottle with slipper hands.

I got this as a gift and I was very impressed with it so much so that I kept buying it. I have dry sensitive skin so need something gentle and not heavily perfumed. I use it all over my body minus my face and the difference it has made is enormous! My skin is so soft and supple I get compliments on my skin all the time and it's because of St Ives. I love the pump action bottle it comes in because it means no accidental squirts of too much product and it keeps the bottle clean. There's nothing worse than grabbing a bottle that's greasy from just rubbed in cream hands. The smells are delicious and subtle which is a big thing for me. I don't like overpowering smelling creams because it lingers for a while after. I team this with the St Ives scrubs and the combination works wonders!

I grew up using this stuff as mum was a firm believer (and I think too, because there were so much kiddies, you got a lot for your bucks). A whole lot of product and its quality. The formula itself doesnt take long to absorb into the skin. Great scent, with my personal favourite being the daily hydration. The packaging is really bulky, but what do you eect, you get heaps if product. Good staple product, but not really something you want to cart around while travelling. Love that it has a pump also, as you dont get too much product all in one hit.
