There is one thing I am good at and do without fail when it comes to body care. I am a dedicated user of a body moisturiser. Whether it’s a lotion, cream, soufflé, butter, whatever it is, I apply one twice a day everyday. There is nothing worse than having dry skin on the body. For me, it doesn’t look good which doesn’t make me feel good. My current body moisturiser I’m using is Palmer’s Coconut Oil Body Lotion. I bought this from Home Bargains for £2.79 for 350ml.
Why did I buy this?
The Palmer’s Coconut range has always intrigued me. I’ve seen it dotted around various shops and it’s something I’ve wanted to try for awhile now. Over the years I’ve used lots of products from Palmers, including their iconic Cocoa Butter Lotion, so I wanted to see if this was just as good as that. Coconut Oil Lip Balm, Facial Scrub and Balm are all products I’ve used and liked, so of course I had to add this to my Coconut Collection!
What does this body lotion supposed to do?
Moisturise the skin thanks to it’s rich texture, and containing fatty acids and proteins which help keep skin in great condition.
Consistency
Typical body lotion like. It’s not too thick and it’s not too thin. Like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, it’s just right!
Fragrance
Love love love how this smells! Using other products fro the range made me hope this smelt the same as them, and it does! It has a slight coconut scent to it. But imagine it’s lightly toasted with a touch of brown sugar and a little vanilla and that’s the only way I can describe it. Don’t think this is a sickly sweet scent because it’s not. And it’s not strong either. It’s warming, it’s comforting and the strength is perfect.
In use
I’m very generous when it comes to using body lotions, but found I didn’t need much to cover my whole body with this one. Even when I’ve used too much this doesn’t take a massive effort to work into the skin. The feeling on my body was a sense of being moisturised but not greasy or oil. And looking at my skin this reflected the same thing. My skin felt soft and smooth after application which is what I always want.
Fragrance wise, I can’t help but keep smelling when I’m using this body lotion because it’s just so good. I find it stays on my skin for hours although it’s light and not heavy. It doesn’t clash with any other fragranced product I use alongside it and it makes this a pleasure to use because of how it smells.
I can use this in the morning or before bed, and hours later my skin is still hydrated look and feel wise. No ashy skin on this body!
Recommended?
It’s taken me so long to buy and use this product, and the wait was worthwhile! I LOVE this body lotion. It’s thick enough to do the job it’s designed to do but it’s formulation is quite light weight and non sticky. Perfect when you need a lotion to be effective and to be used quickly when you’re in a rush. And the scent…not everyone will love this because fragrance is a personal thing. But very few people WON’T like how this smells. Recommended? Oh yes it is! Buy it, use it and love it.
Great thing about this body lotion and other products in this range, is it’s available in so many places. Supermarkets, discount stores etc, so you won’t have trouble grabbing this ready to keep your skin in tip top condition.
