During the winter, moisturising your skin is so important but it's also the time when I am at my laziest because I don't want to be stood freezing in the bathroom waiting for my body lotion to dry so I have been skipping that step...oops! Spray body lotions seem to be the lazy girls answer and I have tried the Vaseline ones but they didn't absorb as quickly as I thought they would so I ended up giving them away.
I was sent the new *Balance Active Formula Spray Body Lotions (£5.49 each, 200ml) and I have both of them - the hydrating one and the nourishing one. They are paraben and phthalate free and they claim to be non-greasy and fast absorbing.
Let's start with my favourite of the two, the *Balance Active Formula Hydrating Spray Body Lotion with contains hyaluronic acid and coconut oil, both of which are amazing for moisturising the skin. The lotion does have a light coconut scent which I love, it feels very lightweight on the skin and it does absorb really quickly! It is non-greasy, unless you use a tonne of lotion and it doesn't irritate my skin. It leaves my skin so smooth, soft and moisturised in the shortest amount of time possible.
The second version is the *Balance Active Formula Nourishing Spray Body Lotion which contains anti-aging SYN-AKE peptide and argan oil. This may sound odd considering there isn't any orange or chocolate in this product but it smells like a Terry's chocolate orange to me! I do like the scent but not as much as the coconut one. It too absorbs quickly, leaves my skin smooth and moisturised and it doesn't leave a greasy residue.
Overall, these spray body lotions are what I hoped the Vaseline spray and go lotions would be but weren't. They are definitely fast absorbing but they are really moisturising and smoothing too. My only problem is that when spraying, the lotion can go everywhere but other than that they are the lazy girls dream product, especially during the freezing winter months! Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5.
