Body creams

I am just in an habit of using baby lotion!

what other lovely body creams do people like using and why?

Id like something really hydrating and that helps my hairs to breakthrough my skin because I wax and lets of ingrown.

I want to pamper myself a bit more but dont have much time but i think I could do body creams day and night as an achievable goal!

Neals Yard have lovely creams. I guess it really depends on your budget though.

Happy to treat myself to something special! Up to £30? I have no idea how much things cost but I know baby lotion is dirt cheap

I’ve tried cheap and I’ve tried expensive creams but always always end up retuning to my Nivea q10 in the blue bottle, it smells nice, soaks in super quickly and my skin is baby soft!

I also think you should look at an exfoliating one OP if you are getting blocked hairs.

Something like:

or

I’m a big fan of Neom. They have some absolutely beautiful fragrances.

I use Cerave intense, the big pump bottle, it’s excellent.

@Tortephantooh yes that sounds like what I need for sure

Ameliorate is very good... thinner and less gloopy than Nivea or Cerave, but better on depilated skin. It claims to help with ingrown hairs - not sure if it does, but it helps with keratosis pilaris, the little red bumps. You have to keep using it in the long term, though.

I am a fan of Ameliorate and then use a dry oil ontop x

I love this and the whole range. Rub in very quickly and leave skin so soft
