Moisturiser

[jennyjoan]

Am looking for non-sticky moisturiser for body only. Also easy applying - ie maybe spray etc. Am lazy with rubbing in etc.

You still have to rub it in when you spray it.

As mentioned in another thread, Avon Skin So Soft dry oil spray.

[grasscarp]

what about this one, that you apply in the shower, rinse and dry?

You could try a spray oil. I think you can just leave those without rubbing in if you sit aroundfor a while after a shower etc. I think Neutrogena do them

lol, what does the amount of ingredients have to do with anything? Are you saying it's better cause its got lots of ingredients in?

[grasscarp]

I didnt mean anything black cat. I looked it up cos it sounds intesting product. Was just taken aback by the amount of things in it.

[black_cat51]

i think they all do. This is the nivea one
qua, Cera Microcristallina, Paraffinum Liquidum, Glycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Hydrogenated Coco-Glycerides, Stearyl Alcohol, Myristyl Alcohol, Parfum, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil, Sodium Carbomer, Sodium Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, Phenoxyethanol, Methylisothiazolinone, Limonene, Linalool, Geraniol, Benzyl Alcohol, Citronellol, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Hexyl Cinnamal, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Salicylate, Citral

In fact, they are all just the same ingredients in fancy packing :)

[grasscarp]

At least they all start the same ..... Aqua! I have loads of body moisturisers and almost never apply them. Good intentions I suppose when I got them.

[boxtops]

I use body butter, find it sinks in better and doesn't leave a residue.

[black_cat51]

i have both the nivea and vaseline ones (and like JJ i got them because im rather lazy) but they are still a faff and i don't use either of them. The nivea one nealry made me fall in the shower

[jaynethepain]

I use body butter, it goes in easily and is great on your feet....no more hard skin!

[whirlyhurly]

I agree with black cat51 all Nivea products are annoyingly far too greasy.

[pastafreak]

Coconut oil...just plain coconut oil...is a good light moisturiser. Body butters like Shea or cocoa butter are also good. The Body Shop makes some good ones.

I have no choice but to rub in emollients after a shower.

I hate and can think of many things that I would rather be doing. Consequently I have experimented with all of the spray on, in shower, quickly absorbed moisturisers. They have all been complete rubbish with the odd rare exception.

I now use Aquamax and it is the best emollient I have ever used.
