Thanks for letting me test

1. It is SUPER easy to use!! Took less than a minute to cover my whole body and I HATE moisturising because it takes ages and I hate feeling damp/sticky afterwards.
2. Really soft! I gave one of the smaller tubes to my mum who is currently undergoing chemo and as a result has awful dry skin and she commented that it had really helped put moisture back into her skin.
3. It smelt gorgeous, like a massage oil from a spa but I think some people would prefer a non scented option. It lasted about 6-7 hours.
4. I would definitely recommend it & have done to my friends and family. I've also seen it on offer & brought some more.

1. How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use?
I found it quite runny to use, it was falling off my hand whenever I tried to apply it for the first few occasions. Once I managed to figure out a technique for quickly slapping it on, it was rubbed in relatively easily. However...

2. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product?
Honestly, not that much different to normal. I tried it on my arms and, in particular, the dry skin at my elbows. Arms feel the same as ever and elbows are still dry. Maybe I didn't use enough, or use it often enough? I generally shower every other day. On the plus side, I tend to have problems with skin allergies and it didn't seem to trigger them.

3. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin?
The smell is a bit strong and too floral for my taste, so it was actually kind of fortunate that I didn't find it particularly lingered! By the time I was dried and dressed, it had gone.

4. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it?
Probably not.

-. Really easy to use, probably one of the quickest ways I have ever moisturised! It goes straight into wet skin, and towel dry as usual so took under a minute. Perfect for a busy mum!

1. My skin did feel soft but it didn't last as long as I hoped it would.
2. The scent isn't one of my favourites, I prefer something more fruity. I also like something not too powerful and felt like this was quite strong.
3. I would purchase it again, as it is so easy to apply. I'd like to see a couple of different scents.

1. How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use?

Really quick and easy.

1. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product?

My skin felt soft and smooth,

1. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin?

I like the scent and it's lasts well. My only negative thoughts were that after I've dried myself it's on the towels and the towel smell of it too so I.ve been hiding the towel from the kids as they both have quite sensitive skin. I also didn't want to put perfume on as well as initially the smell is quite strong.

1. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it? Yes and yes.

1. How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use?

Very quick and easy - did not make my quick shower routine any longer but gave me soft skin that was pleasantly fragranced.

1. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product?

Not amazingly soft like feathers or baby kittens but soft enough to make want to stoke my arms a bit more

1. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin?

It is a nice smell. Not something I would normally wear but nice enough and did not irritate my skin as some fragranced products can.

1. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it?

Maybe and yes, if this is your sort of thing. I'm too lazy and clearly not meant to be a Yummy Mummy with soft skin.

1. How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use?

This was so quick and easy to use, I'm a single Mum to two; one of whom is severely disabled and takes up a lot of my time and it has been so nice to have the time to moisturise my skin it has made a massive difference.

1. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product?

Very! I am really impressed with this product and have been raving about it to family and friends.

1. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin?

I love it but then I am a fan of other Sanctuary products (more scents would be nice in the future). My daughter actually commented on how nice I smelt and how soft my skin is.

1. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it?

Defiantly will be using again and I have already been recommending it, its great. Thank you Sanctuary,

1. How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use?

Very easy to use. Just wallop it on and you're done. Fabulous for myself as I'm in such a rush in a morning I often don't have time to moisturise. Only think I would say is that I felt at first I was using far too much as it's quite thin and runny and I didn't think it would last very long. I did get used to it after a couple of goes though and used less.

1. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product?

It did feel softer after the first use.

1. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin?

I personally liked it although I don't think it lasted particularly long. My husband did not like the scent and said it smelt more like something an older lady would wear and was too floral.

1. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it?

I would if it came in different scents and the price was right. Ive seen it for sale at £8 which I wouldn't pay but would pay £5ish.

1)I found the product quick and very easy to use. It barely added any time onto my daily routine but made a big difference to my skin.
2) My skin felt very smooth and soft after use. I received the delivery as I got home from holiday so it was really handy as my skin was dryer than usual and this helped a lot.
3) I liked the scent a lot, having used sanctuary products before it was familiar to me. I liked that it lasted quite a while on my skin too.
4) I would definitely purchase this product again, as long as it wasn't too expensive. I would recommend it to friends if it came up in conversation.

I really enjoyed testing this product and plan to continue using it. Thank you for picking me to test it!

1. Very easy, just put it on standing in the shower before drying off. It didn't transfer onto the towl and sank into my skin easily. Moisturising is a bit of a chore and I prefer this to the spray bottles of moisturiser I've bought in the paste as it seemed to sink in faster.
2. Quite an improvement. It wasn't greasy, I didn't think it was that "rich" so wasn't sure how moisturising it would be compared to a cream or spray, but it definitely works.
3. The scent wasn't particularly strong but it smelt nice. I don't think it lasted very long but that wasn't a bad thing, I don't like very strong scents
4. Yes I would and I'd recommend it. A pump bottle would be a great idea.

I am already a fan of Sanctuary Spa products, so I was thrilled to be chosen as a tester for their Wet Skin Moisture Miracle.

1. How quick and/or easy was Sanctuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use?

Very easy - I squirted generous amounts into the palm of my hand and just rubbed it onto my body. I towel-dried immediately to see if it was effective if used as described.

1. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product?

Lovely and soft, and not at all greasy as I'd feared it might be.

1. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin?

As I said at the start, I am a fan of Sanctuary products, so I loved the scent. I would love to try it in their Green Lemon and Orange Blossom scent, too. And I could still detect the, faint, scent of Sanctuary Spa at the end of the day.

1. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it?

Yes and yes. So easy to use. I could never be bothered with all the hassle of drying myself, moisturising with a conventional moisturiser and waiting for it to sink in or dry before getting dressed. This product makes it a quick and simple process. I will pass the sample sizes on to friends for them to try it. I was impressed that my legs, which normally get quite flaky by the evening, were still smooth and moisturised at bed time.

1. Really quick and easy to use, more likely to use it as tend to get peace from DD when in shower.

2. Skin feels lovely and soft and it hasn't irritated my sensitive skin.

3. The scent is lovely, not too overpowering and seems to last well.

4. Yes I'd definitely recommend this product. Gave smaller samples to my mum and sister in law who both love it too.

1. It was so easy to use. I just rubbed it in after I'd finished my shower then dried myself and it had soaked in to my skin.

1. My skin felt so soft and smooth it was amazing I felt a difference after the first time I'd used it.

1. I liked the scent and it lasted for most of the day.

1. I will definitely be buying this again its amazing my skin feels great. I have already recommended it.

1. How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use?

Really quick, so easy, very impressed

1. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product?

Good, just like any other lotion

1. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin?

Yes and yes

1. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it?

Yes, I would use this as so easy and quick to apply. Did find myself hanging around after applying it through as didn't want to towel dry it all straight off again though, so kind of defeated the point of it being so quick to use! I would recommend it to others.

First of all, thank you for letting me try this product out.

1. How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use? Very quick and very easy. Although it is hard to know how much of the product to put on your skin because unlike with normal moisturiser you can normally tell how much to put on by how quickly it gets absorbed into the skin but you can't really tell with this product.
2. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product? Lovely and soft
3. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin? Yes I loved it and felt like it did linger on my skin.
4. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it? I think I would but it would depend on price. I did love the product and loved the fact it was very innovative but not sure if I used too much so if it was expensive I would feel like it was a bit of a waste.

1. It was very quick & easy to use. It's not as quick to soak in as I expected, but doesn't take too long.
2. My skin felt fairly soft afterwards, & it didn't sting when applying straight after shaving my legs.
3. Initially I found the scent overpowering & not to my usual taste, but as the scent lasts a long time, I have got used to it & quite like it now. I would much prefer it in a fresher or fruitier scent though, especially if the scent lasted as long as this one does.
4. I don't think I'd buy this scent of the product again, but would buy the same product with a fresher/sweeter/fruitier scent. Would recommend to those who liked the scent, as I like the product itself.

Thanks for choosing me to test it!!

1. Really quick to use and easier to remember because I could put it on in the shower. Didn't take long to soak in at all.
2. My skin looked and felt lovely afterwards.
3. I love the sanctuary smell so this is a major plus for me.
4. Will definitely buy again, good value for a large tube.

I have used this for over a week now.

1. This was the perfect product for me as a busy mum. Very easy to apply and it absorbed quickly into my skin.
2. I definitely noticed an improvement in my overall skin moisture and softness. Especially my knees and elbows.
3. Liked the scent although, I thought it could have been a bit stronger.
4. I really liked the fact the moisturiser could be applied quickly and easily. I will definitely buy it again. It felt very rich and I felt the moisturiser lasted. I will certainly recommend it.

I feel uncomfortable about using this before towel drying (surely it'll make the towel a bit grotty?) so have been doing quick dry first but, other than that, it really is a lovely product - smells gorgeous, glides on, sinks in quickly and doesn't leave sticky residue at all. Really appreciate the chance to try this and it's likely I'll buy it again.

1. How quick and/or easy was Sanctuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use?

It was really quick and easy to use. It felt a bit weird the first few times, putting something on just having finished showering but still dripping wet but then again how strange is it to cover yourself as soon as you dry yourself?

1. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product?

It felt smooth and it was absorbed easily and quickly. I wasn't brave enough to try it on just shaved legs as mine are generally very sensitive to anything on them straight after. The rest of me liked it though.

1. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin?

I liked the scent. Can't say how long it lasted as I shower at night before bed and I can't say it was overly noticeable in the morning. I liked the smell though.

1. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it?

I have recommended it already and found that I'll use it more often than moisturiser as it seemed quicker and easier to add into my regime.

1. How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use?

Very quick and easy, although I do take a bit more care now than the first few goes. Still much quicker than normal moisturiser

1. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product?

Does feel a bit softer. Most important to me is that I don't feel sticky after putting it on.

1. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin?

I love this scent. Reminds me of ginger and spice. On weekend/non work days it latest probably a few hours. Not as long on work days when the rushing about and commuting on a hot train.

1. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it?

Depends on price but probably yes. I do much prefer it to normal moisturiser as its so easy to use and so I'm more likely to use it. I have so many bottles of normal moisturiser which I never use as I end up feeling sticky.

1. Very quick and easy to use. It took no time at all to rub over my skin and I didn't need much to cover my whole body. Once I dried myself, my skin didn't feel oily or greasy, so I was able to get dressed straight away - certainly an advantage to a normal moisturiser, as I need to get showered and dressed quickly in the mornings so that I can get the children dressed and ready for school!
2. It made my skin feel quite soft and it certainly wasn't dry. However, I only used it every couple of days, so think I need to use it every day for few days to make my skin really soft!
3. I liked the scent and didn't find t overpowering, but it didn't last long at all, which is a shame as I really like the Sanctuary's signature scent! However, having read some of the other comments, maybe I'm not using enough of the product, so I'll definitely use more tomorrow!
4. Depending on the cost, I would definitely buy it again - or maybe treat myself by using my Boots Advantage points! It has meant that my body is actually moisturised for a change, as I never make time for it in my normal everyday routine! Well done Sanctuary for a great product. I will definitely recommend it to other friends (especially busy Mums) and thank you Mumsnet for giving me the opportunity to test it :0)

1. How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use?

Very easy to apply just squeeze out and apply. A pump dispenser would make this a bit easier, or a shower hook bottle.

1. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product?

Skin felt softer after using the product, I don't always bother to moisturise as its a faff but this was so quick and was noticeably better at improving my skin.

1. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin?

Smelt lovely all day.

1. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it?

I would recommend the product and would buy it as an occasional treat but don't think I would use as a regular.

1. Really quick and easy, just applied after my shower then dried off as usual. Not sure if it was quicker than my usual in shower nivea cream though.

2. Skin felt lovely and smooth after using

3. I quite liked the smell, it helped that I don't wear perfume on the school run as I wouldn't have liked to put a different scent on top.

4. It would depend on the price, I liked it but not sure it was so amazingly different or better than my usual moisturizer so I would probably go for the cheaper one at the time.

1. Ridiculously easy, even for an early morning after-shower rush job... I couldn't believe it was that easy!

1. Surprisingly soft and smooth, given how effortless it was. I'm impressed.

1. No, I felt that the fragrance was too strong and now 'fresh' enough for me in the morning after a shower. It didn't seem to last long (but it was underneath my clothes, iyswim)

1. I will get it again, it's a really easy way to make a difference to my skin. I have already recommended it and given out my small tubes to a couple of friends.

Thanks, Mumsnet!
