Dove Rich Nourishing Beauty Body Moisturiser

Good – I didn't intentionally buy this product - and never really expected to use it. It came as part of a gift pack (which I only bought for the shower gel) and I was pleasantly surprised with the product. In all it's not a bad moisturiser - it does the job (it also works well on my dry elbows) and smells pleasant. Do, however, remember to be careful… Read more

using it on skin prone to irritation after shaving. I would definitely consider repurchasing this product. Clean, fresh lightly floral fragrance - for some reason it reminds me of Chanel "Allure" perfumed body creme (I got a small sample of this a few years ago). It has a rich, smooth, creamy texture - is easy to apply and feels very smooth going on. Rapidly absorbed into the skin - non-greasy. Softens and relieves the discomfort of dry skin. The fragrance, although not subtle, only lingers for a couple of hours (if that), so I find it doesn't interfere or compete with my perfume. At a pinch, it also works well massaged into the soles of the feet and any tough/dry areas of skin on the heels especially - just don't use too much, a small amount will do, just before bed (and put some socks on if you need to get up straight afterwards). The product claims to give '24 hr moisturisation' but I find at best it provides about 12 hours of moisturisation. My skin is quite dry (and yes, the product is intended for 'dry skin') and I find I have to reapply after about 12 hours as I start to notice my skin drying out (legs especially). I have tried using this after shaving and it caused my skin to sting a little - so I wouldn't recommend it for use immediately after shaving (or waxing) if you are sensitive.
