NIVEA In Shower Body Skin Conditioner For Very Dry Skin Review

This is really handy for winter, as I don't like to stand around when I get out of the shower to moisturize. I don't find any residue when it washes off and my skin feels quite soft afterwards. Not as effective as a normal moisturizer but good enough for me.

I have received a bottle of these ages ago in one of my beauty boxes, I remember struggling with the bottle, it was so hard to squeeze and after I got some product out of the bottle my hands were slipping off, so was even harder to get more lotion out. I absolutely loved the classic Nivea scent and it did make my skin smoother, although kind of just coated it with all the silicones that’s in this in shower body lotion. I’m not against silicones though, but there’s a whole lot in this product, seals in the skin’s own moisture though pretty good. :) I didn’t repurchase it as I’ve found the struggle getting the lotion out too annoying.

I'll just start by explaining that most of these showers these days are spent playing peek a boo with the curtain while being watched by a baby with a limited amount of patience. In a way this product seems perfect for me as I usually don't bother with moisturiser. On the other hand I have enough to get done in the limited amount of shower time I have as it is without adding another step. I got a couple of free samples of this product and it's the sort of thing I would use maybe half of the time. I won't be buying it though as I already have about a dozen half used bottles of regular moisturiser and just can't justify it.

I got sent a couple of sachets of this stuff for 'very dry' skin and I actually think the product is pretty decent.

I did notice a difference, especially on my legs after shaving. I'm terrible at remembering/having the time to moisturise after a shower, so this is certainly better than nothing!

A downside to this was that the sachet I got sent (10ml) wasn't enough to cover my whole body at all, so I think that a whole bottle wouldn't last all that long. I'd also prefer if it was a body wash as well as a moisturiser all in one, it's a bit of a pain to have to use body wash and then this - although I guess thats what I'd be doing if I actually always moisturised after a shower, whoops :P

All in all, I think I am going and buying this, i felt that it does what it's meant to quite well and for $9 you can't really go wrong. Using this will certainly be better for my skin than using no moisturiser at all :)

It felt very silky when I rubbed it into my skin, which I really liked. It has a nice scent to it as well, but as soon as I washed it off, the scent washed off with it which was a bit of a shame, but when I got out of the shower, I put a little bit on my arms (still wet) and just rubbed it into my skin then used the 'pat dry' method and it left my skin smelling quite nice. I even noticed that after putting my moisturizer on, my skin felt more hydrated and it didn't give me that 'sticky' feeling. So over all, I'm quite pleased with the results.

This is great for on the go moisturising. It allows you to get that great moisturised feeling as part of your shower routine. Can be very slippery on the floor though, and isn't the easiest to use if you need to get more. The feeling also doesn't seem to last all day, like other moisturisers. I would recommend this most strongly if you are travelling or want a moisturiser to throw in your gym bag maybe.

So even after using this I am still in two minds about how much I like it. While the idea of cutting down body care is a good one I felt like half way thru the day I was wanting to go moisturise again. It may be that i work in an air conditioned space or maybe it's just my skin but I for one am not completely sold

I loved the smell and it was relaxing using it but when i rinsed off i still felt it was on if that makes sense it felt weird , i suffer from dry skin on my body and this did help, i dont mind this product but id rather stick to using dove soap bar

I think this is pretty good product. I got in dry to very dry skin. It did make my legs feel more moisturized but it took a while to sink in so it wasn't as quick as I thought, For the price its a nice product but I don't know if I like the whole in shower concept.
