Advantages: Hydrates and norishes skin leaving it silky smooth.

Disadvantages: Can be very greasy.

WHY I USED THE PRODUCT

After suffing from realy bad sun burn a few weeks ago, I had to find a really good moisturiser to stop my skin from drying out and peeling.

I remembered that I had a tub of this body shop body butter, which is a used to hydrate and norish dry skin types.

THE BODY BUTTER

This body butter can be used on any skin type to hydrate and soften it, making it silky smooth to touch.

I have this Raspberry flavour, which is pale pink in colour and emits a strong scent of raspberries as soon as you take off the lid. I personally feel that the smell is very pleasant and almost nice enought for you to eat.

This body butter comes in a 200ml round tub with a screw off lid, it is very compact and can be stored easily and the best bit is the fact that the packaging can be easily recycled once the product has been used.

APPLICATION

This can be applied directly onto your skin, you can apply it to every part of your body or just dry areas.

I personally use a small finger sized amount at a time as it is very thick and if your skin is relativly hydrated already, it can take a long while to be absorbed fully. so it is best to use small amounts and keep reapplying it if you need to.

PRICE.

the body shop do these butters in many different flavours, all of which are very pleasent and easily abosorbed.

You can purchases these butters in small 50ml tubs for £5.00 each or larger tubs of 200mls for £12.00.

MY OPINION

The price may sound excessive but this has lasted me well over a year now and I still have some left, so I am confident that it rely is good vaule for money.

The only down side to this cream is the fact that is is very thick and can take a while to absorb fully, if you apply to much cream your skin will feel greasy and you will have no option but to wash it all off.

I stongly advise this product for anyone with sunburn of very dry skin as it really hydrates and norishes your skin, restoring it back to its original state.

Summary: Recommended for very dry skin types.
