Hello IMBBians,
My love for beauty oils has a big childhood connection. I was using coconut oil for my body till I was 20 and it was only after I started working, I invested in body lotions! I, somehow, love body oils and prefer them over lotions. I recently picked up one from the brand Balea and today’s review is all about Balea Beauty Body Oil. Read on to know more.
Price and Quantity: $4.65 for 150ml

My Experience with Balea Beauty Body Oil:
The body oil comes in a transparent plastic bottle with a dark golden-brown pump and a golden cap. The cap closes with a click and there is no chance of leakage. The pump dispenses the liquid effectively and 3-4 pumps are more than enough for the complete body. The pump doesn’t have any locking mechanism.
The oil has a golden yellow color and it reminds me of the old castor oil. The oil has a bit thick consistency than the traditional oils available now. It has a texture like a serum. The smell is sweet and nice. However, the smell lasts only for a few minutes.
The product can be applied to dry or moist fresh out of the shower skin. In both the cases, the oil absorbs into the skin pretty fast and I have noticed that it is easier with a little moisture, and lesser oil is needed to achieve moisturization. The body oil, since is an oil, does leave a greasy residue but it takes only a few minutes for this to fade away. The oil makes the skin very soft instantly and feels like velvet. This makes me feel it might contain silicones. It also adds a light bronzed sheen to the legs and makes it a good choice when wearing dresses. The moisturization efficiency of the oil is amazing!
The oil provides intense nourishment that goes for a good 10-12 hours. I have very dry skin and the oil completely masks the dryness and also prevents reappearance. Since the time I have been using the oil, I have less dryness on my skin. I absolutely love the intense nourishment and this is one of the reasons I like oils over lotions.
The product soothes the skin after a wax or epilation and doesn’t cause any redness or irritation. The product also claims to reduce scars; I have been using this on my knee to check the benefits as I had a surgery 2 years ago and I haven’t noticed much of a difference, so I wouldn’t want to comment on it. I haven’t noticed any changes to my stretch marks either, but I believe it would work like Bio oil when you are pregnant to prevent any occurring. I love the product and it is not very expensive either. I have been using this only for problematic areas to check its benefits. The product doesn’t contain paraben and also can be used by men! So, summing up:
