My Experience with Nivea Silky Soft Body Oil:

I love body oils! And, when I spotted this one from Nivea, I badly wanted to try it. I picked it up without second thoughts along with the body lotion from the same ‘Silky’ body range. The body oil comes in a transparent, blue coloured plastic bottle and has a screw cap. The screw cap has a locking click mechanism and thus it makes the oil easy to be carried around without any leakage. But, you need to really need to turn it to lock it else the bottle is still open and can cause some serious damage if you are carrying it along with your clothes. The bottle has a stopper which has a hole to discharge the oil. There can be a little leakage and product pouring out than necessary. Hence, being careful is necessary in order to prevent any oil spillage accidents. 

The body oil has a pleasant fragrance with a hint of Nivea scent. The smell lingers around for around 1-2 hours. The oil is thin and not heavy and has a really runny texture. It feels more like water than oil. The oil is easy to apply; it does get absorbed quicker than your regular body oils. However, it leaves a greasy feeling which fortunately stays just for a short period of few minutes and then it diminishes soon. The oil moisturises the skin effectively and nourishes the body, giving it a beautiful shine.

The oil works wonders anytime but I feel its effect is maximum when applied just fresh out of the shower. This way, the body moisture is still present and thus the oil helps in locking the moisture from the body. In addition, it also adds a hydrating effect to the skin. Considering that the product is very light, you can also use it to fix the skin after a shave or wax, which helps to make the skin shine and look like you have the body of a goddess! I feel that the oil soothes the skin better than a lotion after a shave/wax session. The oil makes the skin feel incredibly smooth and soft.

I have been using the product every night before bed for a week now and every morning I wake up with beautiful, soft skin. The product also contains avocado oil and it is an added benefit. I use the oil all over my body and it helps me reduce the dry itchiness caused by the harsh winters. The product works as a good massage oil as the oil gets absorbed quickly and there is no sticky feeling; you wouldn’t have to worry about dirtying your bedspreads! Overall, the product is a good buy and I am happy with it.

So, summing up:
