ST. IVES DAILY HYDRATING VITAMIN E & AVOCADO BODY LOTION- A PERFECT BUDGET FRIENDLY BODY LOTION FOR TROPICAL SUMMER
Sunday, April 28, 2019
Okay… though St. Ives has
been a known friendly face in the U.S for decades, this has been launched officially
in my country not very long ago. Surprisingly, I think many of us have already used
a few products from this brand beforehand. In the past years, there used to be
a few departmental stores who regularly have picked up a few iconic products
from some brands that were not easy to catch at that time. And I am eternally
grateful for that.
Anyways, things are pretty easy nowadays, thanks
to the blessings of online shopping. Also, so many brands (both luxury &
drugstore) are tying up with us now seeing the potential of a vast market. And
that's how, finally St. Ives,
one of the famous drugstore brands of the U.S is here now.
I have known about this brand for quite some
years. I’ve loved the “St. Ives Fresh
Skin Apricot Face Scrub” for a long time. The other day,
when I was looking for a summery body lotion which would be ‘little natural’,
and will not make a big hole in the wallet, I’ve come across this. I have placed
an order immediately, used it for 15 days, and here I am.
I was going through some of the reviews people
shared in the U.S websites. I found out that the love for this body lotion is
50-50 now, as many have adored and can’t forget about this lotion's previous
version. I started digging further, and found out that previously it was made without
the avocado, had a creamier texture. In short, it was just perfect for dry/combination skin.
Immediately, I understood, why I have loved the new formulation of this body
lotion. Given the fact, I live in a tropical country, summertime is hard
because of extreme humidity. Our body needs moisture, and at the same time, we
tend to get excessive sweat. The sticky feeling of a lotion keeps our mind
occupied, and we end up not giving any moisturization to our body which is a
disaster by the way.
But now, I believe, this lotion has come to the
rescue. Just apply it all over your body after coming out of the shower. It
will be absorbed immediately, and you'll be good to go with the day. I am sure
many of you will reminisce the Good Ol’ Days of ‘Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe Fresh Body Lotion’
as soon as you start using it. The texture of St. Ives is pretty much similar
to Vaseline one. The only difference between
them, and mind you that is a big one, is
the ingredients list.
That makes and breaks all the deal for me.
Let's talk
about the pros & cons.
Pros:
- Summer-friendly
- Ingredients list is Pregnancy Safe which is a yay for many would-be Moms
- Paraben & phthalate free
- 100% natural moisturizer (made with plant-derived ingredients)
- Suitable for all skin types in
summer, and also during winter perfect for oily skin
- Non-sticky, and thanks to that no
excessive sweating
- Gives the perfect amount of hydration during the summer season
- Vitamin E and avocado nourish
deeply and give youthful, glowing skin.
- Beautiful, fresh fragrance
- Budget-friendly
Cons:
- So far, none 😊
This is my 100% honest review. Let me know what’s
your take in this body lotion.
Cheers!!!
Happy Living…
