Taking
care of your skin is one of the most essential parts of healthy living, yet it
can be a gigantic task. As time, age, environment, and lastly health play
pivotal roles in adjusting with skin, it can be a hard and laborious job to
find out about the right skincare products.
My
Experience and How I use Himalaya Cocoa Butter Body Cream:
Today,
I am going to save you some time of your life and tell you about one of the
most fantastic body care products I have come across in my life.
Himalaya
Herbals Rich Cocoa Butter Body Cream
This
body butter has changed my skin drastically since the time I have started using
this. And that time would be around 8 months back. If you have been following
my previous posts, then you know, I am in my early 30's, and though I live in a
tropical country which is extremely hot during the summers, I live in one of
the less humid regions of India. Summer time is not scorching hot here. Almost
throughout the year, we get strong winds which can be pretty drying for the
skin. For that, this product fits perfectly.
As
I love and prefer to use natural products, my hunt is never-ending. It has taken me to this beautiful body butter, which is absolutely gorgeous. I am
sure if you are into beauty and skincare stuff, then you already know the
miraculous benefits of Cocoa Butter. But for knowledge's sake, I want to let
you know a few facts about that. Scroll through…
Amazing
benefits of Cocoa Butter:
·
The
Essential Fatty Acids in Cocoa Butter hydrate and nourish the skin and maintain
skin elasticity.
·
It
protects the skin from premature aging and skin sagging.
·
It
helps to minimize the appearance of stretch marks during pregnancy and in
general, during the natural development of the body.
·
It
is highly beneficial in soothing rashes, itchiness, scaly skin, and scarring due
to skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, etc.

Since
the last eight months, I have been continuously using this Cocoa Butter. I am
an avid fan of The Body Shop Body Butters. But this Himalaya
Body Butter has completely changed my life as it reacts amazingly
to my skin and restores the moisture balance of my skin just perfectly.
Though
my facial skin is a combination type, the skin on my body tends to get dry. Six
months back, when I started using this, it was still winter and though winter
also isn't very harsh in my place, but skin changes a lot. So, I used it for
the first time during that time. And to be frank, I didn't like it for the next
couple of days as it is really dense in nature, takes a lot of time to blend
into the skin, and I am personally not a big fan of Cocoa butter scent. It
doesn't bother me much, but I will choose flowery, fruity fragrances any day
over the smell of cocoa butter. But do not worry if you are not a fan of Cocoa Butter scent like me. The smell of his particular product is not overpowering at all.
However,
after one week, I started feeling a sudden change. My skin was not drying at
all. Moisturizing after taking a bath was good enough, I didn't need to reapply
anything else on my body in the night. Moreover, it was looking so
healthy, plumped, and glowing.
That
was months back. Since that day, I am in a forever bond with this body cream.
I
have a few marks on my skin due to some skin infections, and I also have little
eczema-prone areas on my skin. This body butter has been helping me a lot lightening
the old marks and with my eczema, which is simply incredible.
I
slather this on my body after taking a bath. And though it takes time to blend compared to traditional Body Lotions, I don't
mind it at all. After getting the amazing benefits, how can I complain? Cocoa
Butter itself is dense in nature. This is thick, and it shows Himalaya
Herbals is using the
best of the materials to make this product. If you are in a hurry, you may find
it difficult to apply this. But don't ignore the product. Make sure you are
giving it a shot according to your own preferable time. After the day’s work,
if you use this at night, that will repair your skin a lot. Trust me, you won't
be sorry at all.
Another
great thing about the body butter is that as it is very thick and hydrating in
nature, it works excellently as a hand and foot cream. My hands are really a desert.
I take out a portion of this body cream in two small containers and use them as
my hand and foot creams whenever I feel like it. Especially, if you apply it on
your hands before going to sleep, you'll literally wake up with
the softest hands.
I
have mailed Himalaya Herbals personally to
ask whether it is safe to use during pregnancy or not. And they confirmed, it
is safe to use (if there are no particular pre-existing skin conditions) which
is a delight for all would be Moms. But to be safe, it is always
advisable to ask your doctors if you are pregnant or have any other
health-related issues.
And
guess what, unlike the expensive Body Butters available in the market, it is
really…really pocket-friendly. So, not only it works the best, comes with all
the benefits.

Buying
Links:
This
cream is widely available almost everywhere- in the local shops, online and
even in online grocery shops like Big Basket, etc. Still, for your ease, I am
gonna list a few buying links below.
I have
finished almost 10 tubs of this body cream as of now. I don't know why not many
people talk or know about it as per my knowledge. But it is breathtakingly
beautiful. Please, please, use this body butter at least once in your life. If
you have normal or dry or combination skin, this actually can change your life
dramatically.
Looking
forward to hearing from you all.
Cheers!!!
Happy
Living…
