Essentials Oil ‘Almond & Vanilla’ rich Olive oil body cream- Review & Swatches

Winters are so cozy and I find them one of the romantic seasons but when it comes to your skin they become dry and rough so to avoid this I have switched to bathandbodyworks Essentials Oil ‘Almond & Vanilla’ rich Olive oil body cream which nourishes my skin by making it smooth, supple and silky. My body usually becomes dry/ rough during winters and have to reapply lotion in every 4-5 hours and for hand in every 2 hours to keep skin soft and supple.

My experience with this product-
The product comes in thick plastic tube with an interesting color combination making it enough attractive to catch my eye sight. The tubes comes in brown color with the name mentioned in white and green combination and green flip cap on top. The flip is sturdy enough to keep the cream safe without damaging other products in bag which makes it easier to carry on a trip.

I liked the texture of cream, its buttery, smooth and soft. Consistency is pretty thick. The cream melts on my skin and spreads evenly. It has a beautiful fragrance I loved it but few may find it strong. The staying power is awesome and big thumbs up from my side. If you are new to this cream expect first few days 9-10 hours of hydration and once you apply daily then it keeps your skin hydrated all day. Trust me peeps, I didn’t feel any kind of itching on my skin, however I started loving my skin more as the difference is noticeable. My skin is healthier, smoother, softer, beautifully moisturized and supple. Its pocket friendly.

Overall, I loved this body cream as it has improved my skin texture making it more healthier, softer, smoother & supple. This is one of my fav body cream when it comes to skin nourishment/ hydration in winters and in summer I apply on alternate basis.
