Body products are one of the easiest things that can be slipped in or out of a body care routine. Unlike some skincare products, you can use something on the body and know straight away whether your skin likes it or not. You can chop and change products without it causing issues to your body. At this moment of time I’m using various different body moisturisers, depending on my mood, including Glow’s Defense Moisturiser. This was included in their July Subscription Box.
Why am I using this?
I fancied a change! It’s very easy to stick to one, trusted body moisturiser for morning and evening use. But it can get boring! Changing up my body care routine using this was what I fancied and I was curious what this product was like anyway, so why not try it out?
What is this supposed to do?
Glow’s moisturisers are designed to be highly moisturising but not be too heavy or thick in consistency or on the skin. Ideal for dry skin, and comes in different versions which have different benefits to the skin. Defence is a cooling cream and can help as an insect repellent.
Packaging
This comes in a white pot with a screw top lid. Very simple in look, and will sit in any bathroom or bedroom. On a practical level, it means every bit of this moisturiser will be used with zero waste.
Look & Texture
Defence Moisturiser is white in colour, glossy, opaque and super smooth. It’s similar in consistency to a standard body lotion but a touch thicker as it’s not as liquid and runny.
Fragrance
Minty. Slightly sweet mint which is actually eucalyptus. Refreshing and super cooling but not too much where it smells and feels cold.
On the skin
I’m never shy using body moisturisers, I always use WAY too much! You don’t need much, as this rubs in effortlessly and you can feel the instant moisturising action straight away. It’s not heavy on the skin, it’s not oily but richer than many standard moisturisers I’ve used before. My skin afterwards looks healthy and hydrated but not shiny. And it doesn’t feel it either as it sinks in really well and makes the body feel protected. I could throw on my clothes straight away without them sticking to my skin.
The fragrance of this is long lasting but becomes fainter over time. I love the scent of this on my skin! Especially during the warmer season of Summer because in a strange way it’s quite neutral and fresh and clean.
Recommeded?
This is a highly moisturising product which will leave your skin feeling hydrated without feeling weighed down. Slightly cooling on the skin but not cold, and I think this makes a great alternative to the usual body moisturisers and scents available on the market. A great one for the guys to use and/or those that don’t want specific fragrance types e.g floral, woody, fruity etc. It’s a beautiful product that does what it’s designed to do and only costs £6.00 for 110g and comes in three different versions:
*Detoxify
*Content
*Defence
