I am
running out of day time moisturizer/SPF so I’m looking around for a new one.
The Body Shop is a Leaping Bunny approved cruelty-free brand so I figured I
would try one of their moisturizers. What’s Leaping Bunny? You can read my post
about changing to cruelty-free makeup here.
Most of The
Body Shop moisturizers only have an SPF of 15, which is not very high. There is
one moisturizer (Vitamin C line) with SPF 30 but ingredients in it could
potentially irritate my sensitive skin. So because my skin is sensitive, I went
with the Aloe Soothing line which is geared toward sensitive skin.
The
moisturizer is light and a little goes a long way. I don’t recall it having
much of a smell. It took 10-15 minutes to dry down so I would put on all my eye
makeup while the moisturizer absorbed into my skin. It did not irritate my skin
at all and I thought all was well. At this time I was also trying out the Urban
Decay Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup (read my post here) and my skin was
very oily. I thought it was the foundation since the moisturizer had absorbed
into my skin and the foundation is supposed to be dewy. I returned the Urban
Decay foundation and went back to the L’Oreal True Match foundation as part of
my Finish 5 By Fall Challenge. A couple hours into the day my face was so oily it looked
like I had poured olive oil all over my face (thank goodness for blotting
papers ;)). That’s when it dawned on me that this moisturizer was making me
oily, not the Urban Decay foundation. *sigh*
Needless to
say, I returned this moisturizer. Very disappointing. I usually have dry to
normal skin—it’s very hard for something to make me oily. I would not recommend
this moisturizer because of how oily it made me—my makeup was shifting on my
face! This product was returned and now I wish I still had the Urban Decay
foundation…
Have you
tried any moisturizers from The Body Shop? Let me know if they worked for you!
