I jumped onto the bandwagon of daily body moisturising back in 2005 when I had finished my law degree and was working the summer before doing my LPC..a bandwagon which I quickly disembarked when I realised just how heavy the workload of the LPC was.
But, I hear you say, that was nearly 6 years ago, why are you still packing heat? Well, I was moisturising during the interim, albeit sporadically. I also kept buying more and more in the hope that I'd once again have the time to moisturise everyday because, you know, getting the LPC out of the way was the hard part, not what came after it *ahem*.
I've reviewed the Aveeno ones in detail here but pace yourselves for a speed review of the rest.
Olay Body Quench Mousse: If you use too much, you will feel sticky and greasy for ages. I find the best way to use this is to squash it into your skin and then slide your hand down to let it soak in. This makes your hands sticky and this will transfer onto the canister. On the plus side, the bottle lasts an age. It is also very cheap. It cost me £1 from the Pound Shop and it is a permanent fixture as I have always seen it there. They have another variant for people who have normal skin. If you moisturise after shaving/waxing, don't use this as it stings like a motherfudger.
Would I buy it again? No. It doesn't give my skin enough moisture and takes ages to dry properly.
