Review: Himalaya Herbals Soothing Body Lotion (Dry Skin)

Ladies & Gentlemen..
Here with a review of my Holy Grail Body Lotion (so far)...
Himalaya Herbals Soothing Body Lotion, Dry Skin.

So far..after several trails..ive finally found a Body Lotion thats good for my dry body skin.

What the product claims:

Sunflower oil softens and smoothens the dry and rough skin. Apricot kernel oil revitalizes the skin while Grapes, with their antioxidant activity, control blemishes and breakouts, and preserve the youth of your skin.

Each ml contains:
Exts.

	Flax seed oil	(Linum usitatissimum)	1.5 mg
	Orange oil	(Citrus aurantium)	1.5 mg
	Sweet Almond oil	(Prunus amygdalus)	1.5 mg"

Ok..now to move on with the main part of the Review..here are the tid-bits..

Price:
Costs around 200INR for 400ml.. and 100INR for 200ml. The prices mentioned are not exact..its just a rough figure that I could remember so far. So, when it comes to Himalaya Herbals price range, they are quite affordable or to say quite cheap for what the result they deliver. U need not think twice if u r on a budget.

Fragrance:
Its got citrus tones to it. Or much like an orange. But I love the fragrance. It may be strong after bath, but vanishes after sometime.

Consistency:
Much like a Body Lotion to say..If uve tried Vaseline White..its somewhere near to it.

Time to Absorb:
This is the worst quality of this product. It takes its own time to sink/absorb in to skin. U have to apply it, massage it twice or thrice to get the lotion soak in. Its horrible if its summer, though i manage it by applyin just a little during those hot/humid days.

Is it greasy??
Yes..it is greasy..but if ur body skin is dry.ul have that glowy look, but not the greasy feel. Basically, my body skin being dry, i prefer bodylotions, which adds some shimmer or glow. So this is not a prblem for me. But for those with normal/oily skin, they may suffocate like hell.

Does it moisturize enough??
Damn good.. Its my reliable lotion during winters. During summers, as i said, manage by applying just a tiny amount. Infact it used to moisturize so good, that my skin would behave normal, though i skip applying it the next day..u know when u r busy or tired..

Other Pros
My skin being dry, it shows up with some dark paches now and then. This lotion totally toned them down and my skin started to show off that brilliant glow. U know as though uve applied some sheer bronze.

So..am I done with all the things u need to say abt while Reviewing a product..?? I think i have to mention the Cons as well.. So here u go..

Cons
Nothing so far..atleast for me..but yaa..it takes forever to sink in to the skin..

And now for the latest news..
Just is the time, when I went searching the Himalaya Herbals Website, to get the prduct details and to my surprise, came to know that they've discontinued this product and introduced 2 products in.
Now I dont know whether either of the Protecting Body Lotion or the Nourishing Body Lotion will do just like the older one. But im sick of it..because earlier I used to love their Shampoo, but as soon as theyve changethe formula..i totally disliked it. Now Im a bit concerned what happens with this.
I just want to cry out.."Himalaya..Why do u have to change them when they are damn good..!!"

My Winter Skin Care Sin

Hey everyone..
Its been forever since ive last blogged in. Anyways..busy life schedule, stress & strain taking in a lead. Okay, excuses apart, I feel so bad whenever i think of blogging and reading other blogs, I just miss it.
Anyways, to start with, just here to do a random post. About Winter Skin Care Sin that im at present committing on and on every day.

" Its just that Im not applying any kind of body lotions/creams or whatever after my shower or any part of the day "

Yeah..its too bad. Though i know the bad results it leads to, im just not enough motivated to apply these days. Dont know whats wrong with me. To start with here is my story rounded since an year.

[Past] Himalaya Herbals Soothing Body Lotion For Dry Skin:
Tried several other Body Lotions, but this is the only lotion that I adore, love and never ever made me to think of another body lotion. Ofcoure this may be a bit heavy during summers, but i hold on with it by applying just a little. But on terms of moisturization, it does a heavy job. I can sometimes even skip a day without it and the skin still holds on pretty good. In other words this is my HG Body Lotion.

[Present] Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion:
This is my current Body Lotion, which is responsible for my lack of motivation to splurge on beauty rituals. Its fragrance free, but sometimes I feel it smells a bit bad on the other side. Anyways, it dint do any good on moisturizing my skin. I have to apply it twice a day, to see and feel that it sits just on top of skin. No offense though, I bought this after reading several reviews, added I couldnt get Himalaya's Body Lotion in the country that i live. In the end, Im just looking forward to finsh this asap.

[Future] Vaseline Cocoa Butter Deep Conditioning Lotion:
Nowadays, after the severe damage that my skin had been through, it even bagged a bit of dark patches here and there due to the dryness. So, turned my eye on this and thinking of to get this one next time. Please do let me know if u like it or not.

Anyways..thats all for now, and hope ild be atleast frequent at blogging from now on.
Ciao Beauties.. :)
