Dove's Silky Nourishment is my current pot of body moisturizing indulgence which I received as part of a Priceline skin care pack a few months ago. I'd never tried it before and I've been pleasantly surprised by how much I'm enjoying it - any excuse and I'm slathering it on. Without further ado let's get into my
These pictures are just about life size - look at that great big tub!
I'm always using some form of body moisturiser so by now I've identified what my needs/wants are in a body cream or lotion. I want it to be rich and obviously moisturising, but I don't want it to be too rich to glide over my skin for easy all-over body coverage - tick! I'm usually in a hurry in the mornings so I'm going to want quick absorption - tick! - and I want soft skin, but I don't want it to feel greasy - tick! Finally, for an everyday moisturiser I want a soft, subtle fragrance which won't clash with my perfume - again, tick! The lovely, very subtle fragrance fades away and I just smell like a nice(er) version of me!
Every time I look at the contents of that pot I just want to dive right in!
You can see this cream achieves the balance of richness and lightness at the same time. It reminds me of lightly whipped cream - you, know the 'soft peak' which just holds its shape.
According to Dove, this Silky Nourishment Body Cream feels silky and indulgent because it actually contains "...pure silk, contained within Dove's rich, creamy moisturisers" . I love it because, yes, it feels indulgent, yet at less than $10AUD for a generous sized tub I can slather away to my heart's content without hurting my wallet.
Pros:
- Richly moisturising and feels like a more luxe product
- Great coverage, a little dollop glides a long way over the skin
- Can be applied on shower damp skin and absorbs quickly and easily
- Non-greasy
- Good value at just under $10AUD for a 300ml tub
- Pleasant, subtle fragrance that won't clash with perfume
Cons:
- Packaging - a tub won't be suitable for those who don't enjoy sticking their fingers into product!
- Again, packaging - the large tub takes up a lot of bench space and isn't travel-friendly
Would I repurchase this?
For at home use, definitely!
What's your favourite everyday body moisturiser?
