Nourish Protect Nutri-Rich Body Cream

Nourish is a brand that I have been seeing a lot of recently and they have just brought out four new body creams! I have worked with Nourish before, I reviewed their toning body shimmer on my blog a while ago and I loved it (here). I chose the *Nourish Protect Nutri-Rich Body Cream (£14, 100ml) although there are three other creams including: Radiance, Relax and Balance! 

I really wanted to try the Relax body cream as it contains lavender and I ADORE anything lavender scented but it is targeted towards anti-aging and I'm only 22 so I picked the Protect body cream which claims to tone, hydrate, maintain the skins flexibility, stimulate collagen, reduce fine lines and refresh dry skin. The scent of the protect cream is that of sweet mandarin and orange which I do like although it is a little sweet for me personally. However I think it would be appealing to a lot of people especially with summer just around the corner. 

I have been using the body cream on and off for a couple of weeks now and I am really impressed! Firstly, I love the look of the packaging - it makes me want to use it more and as I can sometimes skip body moisturiser if I am being a bit lazy then it is definitely a good thing! The pump makes using the product so much quicker and easier and it just looks pretty and summery in the bathroom. 

Since using the body cream, I feel as though my skin is definitely more hydrated and so much smoother. If I use too much then the cream can feel a bit sticky and tacky but most of the time it leaves my skin feeling incredibly smooth, soft, hydrated and plumped almost. The scent is nice too, it does linger for a while on the skin and the scent is very summery and uplifting although as I am a lavender/floral scent lover I am not too crazy about the scent of the protect body cream but I think most people would love it and it's not too strong either. 

Overall, I love the way this body cream makes my skin feel! I think it is a perfect product for spring/summer, not only because the packaging and scent is very uplifting and refreshing but the moisturiser makes my skin SO smooth and hydrated. If you are not a fruity scent lover then there are other creams to choose from! The Radiance cream has a rose scent, the Relax cream has a lavender scent and finally the Balance cream has a refreshing apple scent.

Review: Nourish Toning Body Shimmer

If there is a time to embrace your inner golden goddess then summer is it! I have always been very pale, I don't tan so I haven't ever really looked into tanning or body shimmer as I didn't think it could work for me. However, I was sent a body shimmer from the brand Nourish and I have been road testing it...and loving it!

I have the *Nourish Golden Glow Toning Body Shimmer (100ml, £25). Nourish is a cruelty free brand and their products contain organic ingredients - for example, this body shimmer is comprised of 77% organic ingredients which is fantastic. Some of the natural ingredients in the body shimmer include: argan kernel oil, aloe vera leaf juice powder, neroli flower oil, shea butter and more!

The body shimmer is a yellow golden lotion when dispensed (the bottle has a pump dispenser which is amazing). The shimmer is fine and not that noticeable on the skin unless you look very closely - as the photo on the far right shows. The lotion applies smoothly and evenly and creates the most gorgeous, subtle glow to the skin that doesn't look too noticeable or glittery. I have been using it on my décolleté and legs arms for a summer glow and I am probably going to take this product on holiday with me next month and mix it with my normal body lotion for an all over glow. I find it doesn't rub off on clothing, however I haven't tried it with black clothes yet. 

The best thing about this body shimmer is that it contains a nutrient rich phyto-active marine extract which tones and firms the skin - I haven't been using it long enough to notice firming effects but it sounds amazing. It also contains hyaluronic acid which is fantastic if you have dry skin as it locks in moisture. 

Overall, I adore the packaging and all of the natural, organic ingredients as well as the brand's ethos with regard to vegan and cruelly free products. The shimmer in this lotion is subtle and gorgeous and the possible toning/firming effects sound amazing. I will have to rate this product: ★★★★★, 5/5!
