What I Say:
I love
Nivea! I have grown up using their products, and they are always so efficient,
and come at such a good price, so I am always very excited when I hear of new
Nivea products being launched.
Even though
I haven’t got particularly dry skin, I always use a body lotion when I’ve showered.
Regardless of how moisturising a shower gel is. So I was very intrigued by this
new In-Shower Rich Body Lotion from Nivea.
The
instructions on the back of the bottle recommends first using your normal
shower product and rinse that of. Hereafter you apply the in-shower body lotion
while still in the shower and rinse it off, dry yourself and then get dressed.
Following
the instructions of first using a normal shower gel, I hereafter used the
In-Shower Body Lotion, and I was surprised to see that the formula and
consistency was basically like any other Nivea Body Lotion. It is easy to
smooth over the body, but I do have to admit that I felt I used considerably more
than I would a normal body lotion.
The
In-Shower Body Lotion is easy to rinse off, and as I am drying off from the
shower, my skin does feel quite noticeably softer, but also a touch greasy, as
if I’ve just used a shower oil!! But once completely dry, this greasy feeling
disappears and my skin does feel quite moisturised – actually sufficiently
moisturised for me not to feel I need to use my normal body lotion. And as the
day went on, my skin continued to feel moisturised, and I did not feel the need
to have to apply body lotion.
The
In-Shower Body Lotion comes in (Nivea) blue bottle with a blue flip-top, which
is easy to use in the shower with wet hands, and I like that it has been
designed to stand on its lid so the cream drops down in the bottle as you use
it.
In-Shower
Body Lotion has a nice subtle scent, the very typical Nivea scent that we all
know!! And once you’ve dried off from the shower, this scent more or less fades
completely. It contains almond oil to soothe, relax and soften the skin.
All in all
this is a fantastic innovative product that will no doubt save some time in the
bathroom (although time in the shower, and hence also water use will increase
slightly). Although it comes in a large 400ml bottle, I did find that I used
more than I would a normal body lotion, but still it will last a long time. Regardless,
it is a fantastic alternative for those days when I’m in a hurry, cannot be
bothered applying body lotion, or have a crying baby needing my attention! It is
such a handy product to have at hand! I will definitely be buying another one
when I run out!
