Review - Dove Cream Oil Intensive Body Lotion

The pairing of two of the most powerful moisturizers -- skin-nourishing oil and rich hydrating cream. The result? The ultimate moisture from Dove for extra dry skin.

It's a deeply-penetrating and fast absorbing cream for those two very hard-working parts of your body, your hands. If there were any doubt that extra-dry hands could be extra beautiful, this proves it. Hands down.

So, I just got a sample of this Cream Oil by Dove in the mail the other day, and I think it is awesome!! I love the smell. In fact I would probably say it is the nicest smelling Dove product I have ever had. Often the smell of Dove creams is just over-the-top rich for me. They really smell creamy and thick, and this one doesn't. It just smells light and sort of sweet. Then the texture is also very light and soaks in super quickly. I really enjoyed this product, and I would probably get it again. It leaves your skin so soft and moisturized and silky feeling. For under $6, how can you go wrong!

Sheba says: I totally agree. I am not sure if it is because this is a combination of their oil and cream but it works very well. Like Deedlejuse said it is light and absorbs almost as you apply it. . . so fast! Maybe the oil takes away some of the usual heaviness but whatever it is this combination really does work. I am also enjoying the very light scent. I cannot put my finger on it but it is sort of sweet as Deedlejuse mentioned and she is the scent expert. Your hands feel very soft, smooth and hydrated. I believe you would find it difficult to locate a product that works as well for the reasonable cost of this lotion.

Review - Plum Island Soap Co. Body Oil


made from high quality olive oil and scented with only pure essential oils which are imported from all over the world. These body oils are the perfect light moisturizer for all over especially after showering or bathing and also make wonderful massage oils.

My store, which is an all natural perfume oil store, has been on the search for really superior all natural body products. This search has taken us in many directions, but the one that surprised me most was this one. This company is so cool, their products are awesome, and they are located exactly 10 minutes away from my store on a little island on the North Shore of MA. Amazing that such goodness can be right under your nose!
I have been using their body oil for the last week, and the skin on my arms is difficult to recognize. Like seriously I don't think it has ever felt this wonderfully silky smooth ever! I was even in a rush this morning and I forgot to apply it, but they are still as smooth and silky as when I have it on. That is the healing power of olive oil I guess. You use it just as you would a body lotion, of course you might think that you are a lotion wearer and oil is not your style. I 100% understand, and until last week would have agreed with you. I think I might be a convert. It is pure oil, all natural oil by the way, so that means it is runny and you can't use too much. It all soaks in in seconds and leaves me feeling moisturized and happy.
I have the Anise scent and also the orange ginger. Of the two I prefer the Orange Ginger, but I think that all of them are delectable and I will probably go with the Ocean Mist next time. I really, really like this product, so there definitely will be a next time.

Amanda S. Says: I used Ylang Ylang in this body oil and all I can say is, HOW DO I LOVE THEE? LET ME COUNT THE WAYS! I am a body oil fanatic. Frankly speaking, I believe oil can be one of the best moisturizers, and who doesn't love having some around so you can ask for a back rub and back it up with a product like "see? I've got this stuff so why not just give me a back rub???". I have been terribly sick all week too, (feeling a little better today) and using this on my chest and back has made a big difference, helping me relax and such. The smell is fantastic, even the boys like the smell and don't feel it's too feminine or masculine. It goes on so smoothly and absorbs well too. And at a great price. I will definitely be buying this.

Review - Linden Leaves Body Oil


A moisture-rich blend of pure fruit oils enriched with vitamin E to nourish dry skin and promote healthy cell renewal, in a rejuvenating blend of mandarin, petitgrain, rosemary and lavender to restore wellbeing and promote happiness.

Linden Leaves makes these great body oils with various aromatherapy scents. For myself, I tried the "Pick Me Up" scent containing invigorating citrus type scents. My skin is so beat up from this winter's super dry, cold air that on my shins, I have little scales. Gross, I know. After using this product two times after the shower, and once in the morning just before I went out the door, my scales are completely gone, not even a hint of them are left. This stuff really did the trick.

Never mind that it works great, but it looks really cool too, there are freeze dried pieces of fruit floating in the oil in a clear bottle.



Joyce says:
Bath salts are just lovely things to me…like adding nature to water (which is what we’re doing). The bottle of oil that also comes in the box can be used on the body and in bath water; and I love the piece of real fruit floating in the oil. What I really appreciate is applying the oil to my body, especially pulse-points, when I need to perk up mid-afternoon. Seriously, I do this, especially when I’m working on a client’s project and need to literally have a pick-me-up. Coffee at that time of day would affect my being able to go to sleep that night, and we know how sugar messes with energy. This is a much more natural way to energize my mind. The oil goes onto and into the skin very nicely and in a relatively short period of time, so I’m not concerned with getting oil on other things. It also keeps me smelling as though I just emerged from a bath and does so for hours.
