My Review of Necessaire The Body Cream
I absolutely love a rich and creamy body cream and this formula certainly ticks that box. As a serial fake-tanner (read more about the tans I use here), I find that my skin on my body can get quite dry and dehydrated, so I need something super nourishing to keep the skin feeling soft and looking smooth.
Although Necessaire The Body Cream has a gorgeous luxurious and rich texture, I find that it absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave a heavy feeling. I find one scoop will easily cover my whole body and a little goes a long way, especially if I apply it when my skin is still slightly damp from the shower.
As I said, I find it sinks in quickly and I can get dressed pretty much straight away. It is fragrance free so doesn’t mess with any perfumes I want to wear, unlike another favourite of mine, the Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Cream*, which smells divine but does have an impact on what kind of fragrance vibe I have.
I have been using it all the way up to my neck, which I always finds needs a bit more TLC when the weather starts to get a little cooler. And speaking of weather, I think this is the perfect cream for wintry climates. I will certainly be reaching for this on a daily basis as the temperatures get colder. In case you are thinking to buy, I’d say it is probably a touch too rich for warm or humid weather.
Also, if you already have Necessaire The Body Lotion*, you might be wondering how different this is. The lotion is basically for all skin types, whereas the new Necessaire The Body Cream has been formulated to be ultra-rich so that it can help repair compromised and ageing skin.
