The one thing that I love experimenting freely with is body lotion. Since my skin has a tendency of getting all flaky on the onset of cold I prefer to buy lotion formulated for dry skin. Plus, post pregnancy I have got stretch marks so I try to look for ingredients that help in fading them at least to some extent. The recent one I bought is St Ives Nourish and Soothe Oatmeal and Shea Butter Body Lotion. As it contains oatmeal and Shea butter, both these ingredients are highly considered to work for stretchmarks, I had expectations from it. Go through the review to find out if it had met those expectations or not.

My take on ‘St Ives Nourish and Soothe Oatmeal and Shea Butter Body Lotion’
Like any other 621ml body lotion, it comes in a tall pump dispenser which is made of plastic. I love such huge lotion bottles- one because they can be easily transferred and the other because they last long. When I buy these tall sizes, I transfer them to small containers and keep those in very corner so that I have them within reach when I have to give my skin an extra dose of moisture. I also carry travel-size moisture bottles in my handbag and backpacks, and I keep refilling them regularly using the convenient pump-dispensers.
The lotion has a semi-thick consistency that makes it easy to apply on the skin. It does not require any dragging so takes no-time in covering every part of the thirsty skin. My hands usually have a tendency to sweat post lotion application in the summer season but this one does not give me those sweaty hands. I feel absolutely comfortable after slathering it on my body. It might be because of the fact that it sinks into the skin quickly without leaving any greasiness or heavy feeling.
I have been using it for over a month now, and it has considerably improved my skin’s appearance. Now, there are no more dry lines and flakiness. The skin looks well-moisturized and properly taken care of. There is not much difference in the appearance of stretch marks, but surely they are getting lighter as the time passes by.
The other good thing about this lotion is it is paraben free and dermatologist tested, and is made with plan-derived ingredients. It is made with 100% natural moisturizers and contains up to 25% recycled plastic.
