Advantages: Smell and effectiveness is making skin soft
Disadvantages: Price
*Introduction*
I bought Sanctuary Kyphi Nourishing Body Butter in the travel size to take with me on holiday. I did not want to take a full size with me as I felt that the 50ml pot was more than enough and I prefer to leave cosmetics that I take with me in the hotel room rather than bring them back. It is the perfect size to take away with you as it doesn't take up a lot of room in your suitcase.
*The Claim
Inspired by the regimes of ancient Egyptians, Sanctuary Kyphi Nourishing Body Butter will leave your skin nourished and beautifully fragranced. It delivers an intensive moisture boost.
*About the Product*
Sanctuary Kyphi Nourishing Body Butter contains nourishing Shea and Illife butter, protective Beeswax and softening Sacred Lotus and Argan Oil to deliver an intensive boost. Fragrant sandalwood and vanilla scent your skin whilst this moisturising cream conditions and soothes. It is a non greasy formulation that absorbs easily into your skin.
Some of the ingredients used in the product are:
Vanilla is used as it is a comforting fragrance.
Shea butter is a rich moisturising butter with protective qualities.
Lotus oil is skin soothing.
Beeswax is a hydrating pure natural skincare ingredient that increases the skins essential moisture keeping skin naturally moisturise.
Argan oil is used to moisturise, restructure and revitalise the skin. This naturally protective oil helps to protect the skin against free radical damage caused by pollution, cigarette smoke and the sun's radiation.
*Application*
When using this body butter, you should scoop a liberal amount from the tub. You don't need a huge quantity although in order to obtain the positives of using this product, I always use a fair amount. Smooth the body butter over your skin and rub it in using circular motions after you have had a bath or shower. Make sure that you do rub it in firmly rather than gently, otherwise it will not soak into our skin, just sit on the surface. It is easy and quick to apply with maximum effect.
I use this product particularly on my knees and elbows as the using it here makes the areas feel soft. I also like to use Sanctuary Kyphi Nourishing Body Butter to soften and smooth my feet.
*Price and Availability*
Sanctuary Kyphi Nourishing Body Butter is available to buy from any Boots store. If you don't have one local to you, it is available to buy online at www.boots.com. Alternatively you can buy it directly from The Sanctuary Spa shop online at www.thesanctuary.co.uk.
This body butter retails at £7.99 for a 300ml tub. You can also buy a travel size 50ml tub for £2.29. This is a fair price to treat yourself occasionally.
*My Opinion*
The packaging: Sanctuary Kyphi Nourishing Body Butter is packaged in a clear plastic tub with a twist lid. This is very easy to use and you can scoop the quantity of the product that you require. The style of the packaging it simple and classy. It is vaguely recognisable to the brand as it has the same style although as it is a range within the Sanctuary brand, it does not have the bright orange colouring.
Colour, texture and smell: The colour of this body butter is an off white/cream with a slightly pink tinge. This body butter is smooth, creamy and thick in texture, although not as thick as some of the body butters that I have used. This does make it easier to apply though and it soaks quickly into your skin if rubbed firmly. It is very luxurious and not greasy at all. You will not be disappointed.
As for the smell of this body butter, it is sweet yet has a slight spicy scent to it. It is a strong fragrance that is to die for! The aroma of the product lingers on your skin for a very long time after application, which as this is a gorgeous smell can only be a positive thing. I would say that this is a product for the women and not really for men as it isn't a smell that most men would want remaining on their skin. If I'm wrong guys, go ahead and use it.
Does Sanctuary Kyphi Nourishing Body Butter leave your skin nourished and beautifully fragranced? Yes, it really does. The smell you are left which is wonderful and you skin is left feeling hydrated and as soft as your skin can be and leaves you feeling confident and sexy.
Does it deliver an intensive moisture boost? This body butter delivers a very intensive moisture boost which leaves your skin feeling smooth and soft. For this reason alone it is great value for money. After using this product, you feel like you have been to an expensive spa.
Longevity of the product: I had the travel sized pot of Sanctuary Kyphi Nourishing Body Butter and within this pot I managed to get 4-56 uses and this is when using a liberal amount of the product. I thought this was excellent value for money but I can imagine that some people would use excessive amount of the product but if you only use the appropriate amount, you'll get the best effects.
*Would I Recommend This Product?*
I would absolutely suggest buying this product if you want to indulge yourself and I also think that it the perfect product to give a friend as a birthday or Christmas present. The smell of the product is heavenly and the effectiveness fantastic. It is not the type of product that you are likely to use on a daily basis, but I would recommend using this for use once or twice a week or any time that you want to make yourself feel great. It really picks you up.
*Overall*
Sanctuary Kyphi Nourishing Body Butter is a very high quality product that delivers brilliant results. The body butter is a luxurious texture with a scent that is gorgeous and long lasting. It is quite expensive but the excellence of the product means that the money is well spent and you don't feel like it has been wasted.
