We all have a go to body cream or lotion that we grab to use because it always works. It could be the texture, the fragrance or how moisturising it feels on the skin that makes us love it. One that is definitely high up there on my favourites list is a body butter. It’s always been a body moisturiser I adore, so there’s always a few floating around in my body care collection. One of the newest ones to grace my bathroom shelf is Glow’s Essentially Glow Body Butter. I received this in their New Year New You January Subscription Box last month. So what is it like?
Packaging
This body butter comes in a cardboard tub, with a very firm lid keeping everything in place. Being made from this material means it’s fully recyclable and much more eco friendly than other materials.
Texture
Essentially Glow Body Butter is whipped, solid but melt in the hands type of texture. Truly decadent in feel and goes from a solid to a liquid within a few seconds of being handled by warm hands or/and fingertips.
Fragrance
This has a very calming and soothing scent to it, which is soft lavender with an almost citrusy kick to it underneath. Beautifully fragranced and ideal for night time use to help with relaxation.
In use
There’s something very satisfying scooping this out of it’s tub. It’s quite solid, as I’ve already mentioned, and feels so rich and luxurious. I just knew my skin was in for a treat from that first moment. The amount it took to cover a finger tip was enough for each part of my body. I rubbed this into the palms of my hand and it quickly went from a solid to an oil. On the skin, it coated it beautifully, leaving it feeling moisturised and gave it a glistened look not a greasy appearance. Despite it being more oil based this felt on the skin not particularly heavy and very comfortable.
The fragrance was there. How this smells makes it perfect for night time use because it’s so relaxing, not distracting but gives the body a hug.
Recommended?
I’ve always been a body butter fan. There is zero change in that thought using Glow’s Essentially Glow Body Butter. The texture is unique and pampering, the fragrance is beautiful and it moisturises and cocoons the skin without making it look and feel oily. It’s a brilliant body product and I think everyone who likes a body butter really needs to try this out because this a perfection!
