Dove Body Oil

I know i'm a bit late jumping onto this band wagon but I was trail and error-ing a whole host of products on my very picky skin. This is the one that's worked wonders.

In a previous post, I talk about my struggle with contact eczema. Although I don't have eczema all over my body I still have extremely dry, sensitive skin and have to be careful with what I use (especially because of my eczema). 

I bought the Dove Purely Pampering Pistachio and Magnolia Nourishing Body Oil as a bit of an impulse buy because it was on sale in Boots. It still is and you can find it here for £5.99. I'd never tried an oil before as i'm a body butter lover so I thought I might as well give it a go. Aren't I so glad that I did?

The Dove Body Oil's come in two types, the one above, which is said to give a 'satin feel' and the Dove Purely Pampering Shea Butter and Warm Vanilla Nourishing Body Oil. I definitely would have gone for the second scent but because it says it has a shimmer in the formula I really would rather not risk looking a bit glittery. I just can't pull that off. 

With regards to the satin feel, it really does what it says on the tin (or bottle in this case). I apply this to just-dried out-of-the-shower skin and instead of feeling tight and like it's going to start cracking, my skin feels so smooth and like I could stretch as far as I wanted and it wouldn't ever break. I really appreciate how hydrating this is and my skin has been thanking me for it. Instead of having to slather on creams and lotions several times a day, I can just do it once and i'm good to go for the rest of the day.

The best thing about this product is that it says it's non-greasy and it means it. I was a little skeptical at first because you always think they won't be but they let you down because they are, but this one really isn't greasy. It leaves a little residue at first but I think it feels almost powdery when it's sat for a couple of minutes.

I really like this product and would definitely recommend it to anybody people like myself who have sensitive skin because it causes no irritation, it leaves the skin feeling so smooth and hydrated as well as looking beautiful!

Have you tried this product?
