Review: The Aromatherapy Company Rose & Patchouli Hand and Body Lotion

Please ignore my sad, discarded brushes in the background and the horrendous 'garden' outside my window.

I've only recently gotten into the good habit of moisturising after showering. I have been using the Ro's Argan Body Conditioner by Lush but nothing beats the real thing. I actually got this in candle form for Christmas and loved it so much that I bought the matching moisturiser!

I love this stuff, especially for after showering because it smells delicious without being overpowering and it sinks in so quickly! I have used many delicious smelling moisturisers in my time but none have been as good as this. It's also quite thick but easy to rub in, I find I only need to use one pump per body part (is this normal??) but, as you can see, I still have plenty left after many uses.

Unfortunately, I don't know how available this is outside of New Zealand, due to it being made here but it's a high quality brand so I'm sure it's floating around department stores somewhere. Price wise, it is rather expensive. I bought this for $16.99NZD (an exam time treat) but unless you're buying supermarket brand moisturisers, you'd be looking at this price anyway.

It's well worth it though - the smell is amazing, sinks in quickly and you can fell your skin sucking uo the moisture, especially if yours is as winter-parched as mine is.

Have you discovered your perfect post-shower moisturiser?

Review: Ro's Argan Body Conditioner by Lush

I'll start off with this - if you are like me and never moisturise below the neck line, buy this. Just do it. I've recently seen Vaseline Spray 'n Go moisturisers floating around the internet but nothing has arrived here in NZ yet so I've been using this until something a little easier arrives. Not to say this isn't brilliant - it's arguably the best $40 I've ever spent on something that isn't makeup.

Basically, this is a skin conditioner. You use it right at the end of your shower, just slather it on like a body wash, then lightly wash it off and jump out of the shower. It moisturises your skin, keeping it silky smooth with the power of rose petals. You also smell delicious, I love going to bed after using this because not only am I nicely moisturised but I also smell so yummy.

I highly recommend this. It's super moisturising and smells so good, and it also feels super soothing on the skin so I'd imagine this would work well for those with sensitive skin. I also sometimes use it as a shaving gel because it's so soothing and creamy.

Though it's very pricey ($40NZ) I still recommend it. I loved it so much that I asked it they'd be making any more, but the shop assistant said no so I'd recommend getting this while they still have it. I'm not a huge fan of roses but the scent is subtle in this too - totally natural.

What is your favourite easy breezy moisturiser?
