The Body Shop Oils Of Life Sleeping Cream, Essence Lotion Review

The Body Shop Oils Of Life Sleeping Cream, Essence Lotion Review

Hi guys,

I had reviewed The Body Shop Oils of Life Revitalizing Facial Oil last year HERE. And I have often mentioned it on my Snapchat and my monthly favourites on YouTube! It is my absolute favourite!

I tried two other products from this same range including the recent addition, the ‘Sleeping Cream’. Here are my thoughts on them..

I use the Body Shop Oils of Life Essence Lotion at first, followed by 2-3 drops of the Facial Oil and the Sleeping Cream at the end. I have been following this regime every night since the past month.

The Body Shop Oils Of Life Intensely Revitalizing Essence Lotion

Claims: Enjoy a highly-sensorial experience, with its bi-phase (oil + water) formula, this Intensely Revitalizing Essence Lotion supremely combines the freshness of water and the nourishing feel of oil. Our Essence Lotion has a lightweight refreshing texture that glides onto skin and leaves a pleasurable soft touch finish without a greasy feel. Our Essence Lotion provides instant visible results while preparing and activating skin for the next steps of your routine.

MRP: Rs.1895 for 160ml

Ingredients:

It’s a bi-phase oil and water formula and needs to be shaken well before use. It comes in a long, sleek plastic bottle and the dispensor dispenses quite a few drops. You can use it either on a cotton pad or directly with your hands, I have tried both.

It feels just like water and the oil content cannot be felt, it is very light weight and has a refreshing smell. It gets absorbed in a few seconds and it is meant to prep and activate the skin for the next step.

I was quite excited to try this out as I have never tried a oil + water essence before, but unfortunately it was giving me small whiteheads all around and on my nose. I was using this on and off and didn’t realize it was only this product. I was still figuring out what was causing the break outs and I gave my skin a break for few days and stopped using anything. Again after few days when I started using this, I got those whiteheads.

A few days ago Shalini from Be Beautilicious reviewed this product and she mentioned that this essence lotion was giving her whiteheads and I was like OMG, it is this! I finally realized it was this product that was causing those whiteheads thanks to Shalini.

I stopped using it then and now I only use the oil and sleeping cream. Though I feel I can use this on the other parts of my face avoiding the nose, I will try to use this again.

The Body Shop Oils of Life Sleeping Cream

Claims:  A night time cream, to moisturise, revitalise and nourish the skin whilst you sleep. Skin looks and feels:

– Revitalised
– More supple
– Nourished
– Visibly Rested
– Reduced appearance of ageing

MRP: Rs.2495/- for 80ml

Ingredients:

It comes in a heavy glass jar and has the same golden yellow tint outer see through packaging with the black cap. It has a white separator on the top, but I usually just slid it on top so that I don’t have to lift it each time.

The cream is light yellow in color and has the same smell as the oil, I love the smell! Though the cream is a blend of oils and has the same three blend of black cumin, rosehip and camellia (along with other oils too), it is aqua based and very light in texture. It does not feel greasy or heavy or leaves no sticky residue on the skin. It gets absorbed immediately.

I love my skin the next morning, it leaves the skin soft, supple, nourished and rested, exactly as it claims! This sleeping cream will work for all skin types as it balances the oiliness and dryness perfectly and leave the skin hydrated and moisturized from within.

How I use it: I remove my makeup and wash my face with a face wash. I use the facial oil and follow it up with the sleeping cream. I also used the essence lotion earlier before the facial oil. But since the essence was breaking me out, I only used these two.

I love it and highly recommend it! Both the facial oil and the sleeping cream, I have already recommended the facial oil to so many people and this sleeping cream is the perfect addition to it! Though it is slightly on the expensive side, it will last you for a long time! I still have 50% of my facial oil remaining and I have been using it since last year!

I would not recommend the essence lotion if you have acne prone or sensitive skin or break out easily. I will still give that a try again avoiding my T zone, but the other two products are must haves!

Lotus Herbals Nutranite Skin Renewal Nutritive Night Creme Review

Lotus Herbals Nutranite Skin Renewal Nutritive Night Creme Review

By Archana

Hi all,

Today, I will be reviewing a night cream, Lotus Herbals Nutranite Skin Renewal Nutritive Night Creme. Winters have started and our skin needs adequate nourishment. Dry skin is the main cause of fine lines and wrinkles. To keep our skin youthful and supple, it is best to add a night cream in our routine, atleast during winters. Night creams are not like regular moisturisers as they work to provide deeper hydration and nourishment. Read on to know how this night cream from Lotus Herbals fares.

Products claims: Nutranite is a luxurious nutrient-rich night cream that helps renew the skin while you sleep. It works with skin’s own repair and replenishment system to undo the damage caused by dehydration and environmental exposure during the day. It boosts skin’s resiliency, strengthens natural defences while restoring firmness and smoothening imperfections. As a result, skin is supple and renewed in the morning.

Active ingredients :- Naturally derived Alpha Hydroxy fruit acids derived from grapes, nourishing Ginseng & Lily nectar.

Ingredients:

Directions to use: After cleansing face with LEMONPURE and toning with ROSETONE, apply NUTRANITE in dots all over the face and neck area. Use finger tips to gently massage spread the creme.

Packaging: The night cream comes in a pretty translucent glass jar with a golden screw lid. There is an outer carton box with blue and silver graphics. The entire packaging feels very luxurious and I feel like am treating myself to something special. However, being glass, its little heavy to be carried around.

Texture and fragrance: It is a milky white colored cream with a very soft, fluffy, whipped texture. The consistency is thinner, more like a souffle. It has a nice fruity fragrance of grapes which I love. The fragrance is mild and pleasant and not overpowering.

My experience: I initially purchased this night cream few months back during summers. But it didn’t work for me then as it made me sweat too much and clogged pores. So, I left it for a long time without using. Now as winters have started, I thought of giving it another try. And I am surprised to say, it works beautifully. I have combination skin which gets very dry in winters. I have been using this cream every night for the past one month. And my skin texture has improved a lot. Just a tiny bit of cream is needed. The soft, whipped texture makes it easy to massage all over my face. I usually massage for around 2 minutes as a regular massage promotes blood circulation and maintains youthfulness. The cream sinks in completely within few seconds without any stickiness or greasiness. My skin feels so soft and supple. When I wake up in the morning, I can feel my skin adequately nourished and little glowing. Also, due to the deep hydration it provides, with regular use, the fine lines on my forehead have been smoothed out. This is an excellent night cream for normal-dry skin. Combination skin people like me can use it in winters. Some might feel its expensive. But as very little quantity is needed each time, a jar will easily last for 2 months.

Pros:
* Soft, fluffy whipped texture.
* Provides intense nourishment and deep hydration.
* Makes skin soft and supple.
* Smooths out fine lines with regular use.
* Contains goodness of AHA from grapes, ginseng and lily nectar.
* Nice fruity fragrance.
* Attractive luxurious packaging.

Cons:
* Might not suit oily skin people.
* Applying more amount of cream in summers can cause sweating.

Price and quantity: Rs.395 for 50g.

Rating: 4.3/5

Verdict: Lotus Herbals Nutranite Skin Renewal Nutritive Night Creme is a good budget-friendly night cream which delivers excellent results in terms of nourishment and hydration. Combination skin people can use it in winters and normal-dry skin people can use it all year round. Oily, acne-prone skin people should stay away from it. Also, if you are looking for a night cream with extra benefits like brightening, anti-ageing, pigmentation, etc, then this is not for you.

Editor’s Note: This sounds perfect for current winter weather Archana, I love using oils and rich creams at night time, especially in winters. Lovely review 🙂
