Nivea firming Body Oil
HotI’m always sceptical about oils. I’ve never liked using them on my body and no matter how little oil I would use in the past, it always made me feel way too greasy, gross and in need of another shower so imagine my happy surprise when this turned out to be different. This is a “dry” oil and I suppose it’s because Avocado Oil is quite light in texture, so this is great news if you’re like me and seriously dislike using any oil on your body because oils generally being quite “heavy” to use. Reading the box and seeing “Use at least twice a day” I thought to myself “What?” Let’s be real, I’m sure there are very few of us out there who have the ability to use body oil thrice a day. I’m not really sure who’s going to be at the office only to skip out of a meeting to go and strip off in the bathroom to apply body oil. This seems a tad unrealistic. Never the less, by twice daily usage (and at times, even less) I saw some good results. My skin has been firmer, healthier looking and has a beautiful glow. It even feels softer to the touch and since winter has come to the Cape in a mad way, this body oil has been a welcome addition to my night-time routine (and when I can manage it first thing in the morning). If I combine it with proper diet and exercise, the results would be even better. I'm pretty impressed and happy with the results and it's definitely a product I would recommend especially to those who are starting to feel the effects of gravity ;)

User reviews
I apply it on both wet and dry skin, and the moisture absorbs equally in both cases. There is no oily residue after application - in contrast to body lotions I've tried that leave skin feeling sticky.
I enjoy the subtle scent- fresh and light- but not overpowering and fades within minutes of application. My skin not only feels soft, it appears to increase skins luminosity - adding moisture to my dry winter skin and bringing it back to life! Definitely a new staple in my winter beauty repertoire!
