Kiehl’s Creme de Corps Light-Weight Body Lotion – a dry skin saviour!

December 30, 2010 Paris B 8 Comments

Kiehl’s and fans of Kiehl’s rave about their Creme de Corps body lotion. But I tested it a few times with samples and in store and I found it too thick and too oily for our tropical weather. I’m already lazy when it comes to applying body lotion and to have one stick and slip and slide all over is no-go.

When I was in London a few months ago, I found my skin drying out. It was horrible! I had all this flaky scaly skin on my arms and legs due to the cold and it being covered up all day. So in a fit of pique, I ran out and picked up the first body lotion I saw – it was at a Kiehl’s store. Picked up the Creme de Corps Lightweight Body Lotion because I liked the feel and because I knew I’d still be able to use it when I’m back.

And I was right. I’m back and about a quarter of the way through my bottle now and still loving it. It is light and absorbs into my skin very quickly without feeling icky or sticky. There is a very light powdery scent which is pleasant and it helps keep my arms and legs flake-free and smooth and soft.

I know you are supposed to apply it after showering for best effects, but I apply mine before I go to bed. Because it isn’t sticky and absorbs quickly, it doesn’t stain my sheets – plus point! 🙂 Having SPF30 throws me for a bit of a loop because I use it at night and I don’t use sun protection at night but I don’t apply body lotion in the day, so….. never mind I’ll still use it at night 😛

Pros: Lightweight texture, Pleasant powdery scent, Absorbs quickly and isn’t sticky, Contains SPF30

Cons: Contains SPF30 which I usually won’t use at night, Some might consider it pricey

Oh I didn’t tell you about all that jojoba butter and olive oil… because you can just read it for yourself innit? 🙂

I do wish this comes in travel sized bottles. I went away again and wanted to take this with me on board the plane to slather on my arms and annoy my seat mates, but I couldn’t because it comes in a 250ml bottle, which means I cannot carry it on board the plane. So people from Kiehl’s, think  about this one yes? 😉

This item is such a Kiehl’s icon I don’t know anyone who hasn’t tried it and either liked it or hated it. Mostly they’ve liked it. What about you? 🙂

The Kiehl’s Creme de Corps Lightweight Body Lotion retails at RM90/250ml or £26.50/250ml in the UK at all Kiehl’s stores

    I received the original Creme de Corps body lotion as a gift and yea, I agree that the thickness and oiliness of the lotion takes abit of getting used to. It somehow makes my skin feel a little warm too as I apply it, but since I sleep in an airconditioned room, it’s a pretty comforting feeling 🙂

    But I dont think I could make myself fork out so much for something like body lotion which I like to slather A LOT on after baths. Drugstore brands like St Ives or Nivea seem like a more sensible option. Even Body Shop is a stretch for me 😛

      Hmm… you are right about that warm feeling. I’m not sure if its the oils keeping the skin warm but it does bug me even in an air conditioned room. I don’t use body lotions often and then I got so fussy about them so now, I don’t buy anymore and I use body oils instead 😀 But Nivea. I love the Nivea whitening body lotion. As close to HG in a body lotion for me as it can ever be!

    I didn’t know this came in a light version- might be better for me as I found the original too sticky. I prefer The Body Shop’s lotions in summer.

    Wow we have so many things in common! I don’t like using body lotion as well. Lately I have too coz my skin has been dry and scaly which is very weird coz I don’t sleep with aircond and sometimes not even with fan on, when it’s cold of coz 😛 I kinda prefer the dry body oil which absorbs fast and doesn’t stain the sheets yes! I can’t stand slathering so much lotion on the body and only stain the sheets and makes it all sticky and oily… 😀

An “I’ll be out all day and need my makeup to An “I’ll be out all day and need my makeup to stay on” look 😅 Super simple and using stuff I already own. How many do you recognise? 😅 

For the base I think the key is the Nars setting powder which is basically a silica powder. Many brands have similar white powder for setting. I did this same look yesterday and it barely budged/faded by evening. Only lipstick needed a little topping up 😊 

And this is about all the makeup I can handle these days 😂 no eye makeup cos I can’t be arsed 🤪

Excellent good fun! 😆 Your eyes always want more than your stomach can handle. Ate a lot and bought even more food back home. Diet? What diet? 😂

Posting for posterity because I like this photo 😆 Also hello! 😜

It’s interesting that when I meet people they always ask me “Are you still blogging?” which tells me they don’t read my blog anymore (cos if they did they’d know I am lol! Weekly generally, but still writing) Yet I don’t blame them because a lot of social credit is placed on one’s Instagram presence. This I fear, is an area I am lacking. I pop in every now and then, share stories that are totally unrelated to what people follow me for, then wonder why they unfollow lol! Other times, spider webs gather in the corners of my unused account. I don’t blame them. Not everyone wants to know what my dogs are up to 😜

Anyway I make no apologies. It’s ok if you follow. It’s ok if you don’t. It’s ok if you’re interested in stuff I do. It’s ok if you’re not. Life goes on for both you and I and ultimately, we just both want it to be happy. So do what makes you happy 😊 I’ll still share my beauty finds and I still blog once a week. I may share what I’m up to from time to time, or I may not. I can tell you that I’m keeping busy and that I have a lot on my plate, none of it glamorous unlike that of most content creators/influencers. It’s too boring for most for me to share here so I’ll just share the good bits - as Instagram intended 😂

But if you want to find me, you’ll know how 😊

The review for the product is somewhere on the blog mywomenstuff.com
Yes I know many of you are terrified of lizards 🦎🫣

But I liked this sunscreen - for the body. Even though it left a white cast. Even though it is hard to remove. It kept my arms protected through a weekend of brutal sun exposure and I survived without burning! ✌🏻
