In winter time, I go through lots of body lotions and moisturising creams as my skin is prone to getting dried up and sore. Last year when I was in The Body Shop, I decided to pick up this body lotion because I love strawberries and love most Body Shop products.

Scent
This lotion smells really nice, it is strawberry scented and the smell is quite sweet and strong. I can imagine that some people would get sick of this smell quite easily, however I love strawberries and only use this sparingly so I do not have a problem with the strong smell from it.

Application
This lotion is rather light and does not feel as greasy as the Body Shop Strawberry Body Butter, however you still really only need a little bit of this at a time to get good results.
I usually just apply one or two squirts from the pump onto my hands and rub it in until it is absorbed.
I find that this lotion absorbs quite quickly into my hands and spreads evenly very easily. It is really easy to apply and when it is dried, it just leaves your skin soft and smelling lovely.

Results
I quite like how my skin feels when I use this lotion. I do not notice results right away, but after a few days my hands feel much softer than before.
I have quite sensitive skin and sometimes get rashes on my hands, especially in winter, but this lotion definitely helps me keep sore hands at bay and makes my skin feel and look much healthier.

Price and Availability
You can buy a 60ml bottle of this from the Body Shop for £3 or a 250ml bottle for £8. I bought the 60ml bottle to try it, but I think that the next time I will buy the bigger bottle because it is better value and I really like this lotion.

Overall
I think that this is a great body lotion. It is light and non greasy but it gets to work fast to get rid of dry skin or just prevent it. If you use lots of this lotion however the smell can get really sickening, though when I use it sparingly I quite enjoy the sweet strawberry scent. Overall I would give this lotion 4 out of 5 stars.
