Save and Splurge: Lightweight Non-Sticky Body Lotions

Paris B 6 Comments

In hot humid weather like ours, it might surprise you to note that even we should apply body lotion so the skin on our body does not look and feel dry and papery, and so it does not age before its time. All well and good to look after our faces but its easy to forget about the rest of the body eh? 🙂

review compare skinlabs concentrated vitamin e cream kiehl's creme de corp lightweight body lotion

So after trying a couple of brands and products, here are 2 lightweight body lotions that I like that work well both in tropical weather as well as in cold dry weather. And they come in at two ends of the price spectrum! 😀

Splurge: Kiehl’s Creme de Corp Lightweight Body Lotion – RM90/250ml

Coming in at the Splurge end of the price spectrum is the Kiehl’s Creme de Corp Lightweight body lotion. This one’s light on the skin, absorbs quickly and keeps skin feeling soft and moist. Love it! You can read my full review on the Kiehl’s Creme de Corp Lightweight lotion here.

If you like the scent of mangoes, you are going to love this one. Not only does this body lotion contain mango extract for dry skin, it smells like a mango lassi. Its all I can do to not ladle spoonfuls of it into my mouth 😛

review garnier nutrirepair body lotion

The Garnier Body NutriRepair Repairing Milk Lotion has been around in the market for a few months at least now. I was using the small bottle to try to cure my dry skin problem. I have a story to tell about my dry skin woes but that’ll be the subject matter of another day because its just too depressing heading into the weekend 😛

Whilst this milk lotion did not cure the problem, it felt quite nice for the body.

I love finding inexpensive products that work and what d’ya know? I found a gem quite recently at Guardian pharmacy 🙂 I love browsing pharmacies 😀

review derma health skin labs vitamin e cream

This is the Derma Health’s Skin Labs Concentrated Vitamin E Cream. I picked it up because I was intrigued by the high i.u of Vitamin E it says it contains (10,000 i.u/200ml ) and because it was not very expensive – RM39.90/200ml

I tried looking for information online but there’s none on this brand nor product so we’ll just have to go with what we see on the tube right?

Now here’s what I really like about this Concentrated Vitamin E cream. It is absolutely NOT STICKY! I know I said yay to the Kiehl’s Ultra Light Creme de Corps body lotion but so many of you said “Ooh… so expensive…” so if you’d like to try something a little more affordable, this one’s not bad 🙂
