Advantages: soft skin
Disadvantages: none

...going as I automatically associate The Body Shop with White Musk, a perfume I used to wear when I was a teenager, and come on, who wants to be reminded of that!! Apart from the odd Christmas set I had been given it made me realise that I haven’t used Body Shop products for about 7 years. I remember when The Body Shop opened a store in my home town in the 1990’s and everyone was really in to all these new products that weren’t tested on animals and ...
...smallish town! For some reason the Ruth23 household was really into the banana shampoo and conditioner. I started thinking about the history of The Body Shop, which can be found on their website that will be given below, and it really does make for an interesting read. Details about how the company started off as one shop in Brighton that was opened in 1976 to trading in 39 countries as of 1990 - that is a rapid increase in the 14 years The Body ... Read review

Advantages: Soft smooth hands, smells nice, rich and effective.
Disadvantages: The price tag.

...Oil Hand Rescue Treatment from The Body Shop. Oh and yes you did read right, stocking filler. My future in-laws bought me a little stocking that they put a few bits in for me, how sweet! I am relatively new to hand cream but as the years roll on it becomes more and more necessary for me to use it. Up until now I have only used it sporadically when my hands were desperate. As I get closer to thirty I am finding it less of a rescue product and more ...
...end up regretting it in the long run. I have one or two areas where I suffer from eczema, one of these is a small patch at the base of my thumb on my right hand. Every so often it can get very dry and sore, other times it hardly even notices. You may wonder why I am telling you but I thought that anyone else that suffers from eczema may find it useful to know from this point of view but also the rest of my hands are normal so I can give you two ...

Advantages: does the job
Disadvantages: quite greasy

The Body Shop Almond Oil nail and cuticle balm compliments the rest of their hand care range such as the intensive hand treatment. It is quite a greasy product so you need to use very little of it, but it does leave your nails with a great shine and at is excellent for softening cuticles. A great smelling product at first, however i have to say that after about 6 months of first using a new pot when i went to use it I found that it had lost its ... Read review

Advantages: Is very moisturising
Disadvantages: The fragrance can be a little over powering

This is part of the Body Shop's relatively new range and has been a big hit since it was launched across stores a few months ago. **Packaging** This product comes in a white bottle with a flip lid which does come off entirely if needs be. It has a clear label on it which says Cassis Rose Body Lotion and also has the new body shop logo on it. It also has a print of a rose. **Key Ingredients** Organic babassu oil which provides moisturisation to ...
...acids which help to repair the skins moisture barrier. also glycerine which is an effective moisturiser which helps improve softness and hydration. **Fragrance** This does have a very floral smelling but i must say that it does grow on you after a while. It is a fragrance that some people will love and others will hate, i think it is quite a mature smell. **Size & Price** This comes in a 200ml bottle and is normally £7. I feel that this is quite ...

Advantages: Really nourishing, works well, smells great
Disadvantages: Bit thick and gooey, takes a while to soak in

...problem is more prevalent in the winter (although living in Wales it is perfectly possible in the summer too) particularly with central heating blasting out... Anyway, the end result is that my poor leggies are red and sore and at their worst they have a burning sensation. Apparantly this is an allergic reaction... I ask you, allergic to the cold, what next? Which brings me handily to the subject of this particular op... Body Shop Cocoa Butter. ...
...rich enough to actually do the job of sorting my poor skin out. **THE PACKAGING** I usually buy mine in the 250ml size bottle but there are various sizes available including a handy travel size. The bottles themselves are simple in design, short fat plastic cynlindars with a black screw top, nothing fancy there... they are see through so you can see how much there is left and they have the traditional Body Shop logo and the name of the product ...
