Forest Essentials Bengal Tuberose Ultra Rich Body Lotion Review

Hello to everyone from Kozhikode 😛

Monsoons have set in Kerala and though it’s scanty, I get to see a bit of rain every evening.  I have started to enjoy my stay in Kozhikode after a not-so-good start.  I realized that I hadn’t updated you all about June’s haul – I bought three things – YSL Top Secrets Exfoliator, MAC Marine Bright Cleanser, and then this one – Forest Essentials Bengal Tuberose Ultra Rich Body Lotion.  You heard me rave about Forest Essentials Mysore Sandalwood and Vetiver Body Lotion, today, I am reviewing the Bengal Tuberose variant.  Please read on:

Product Description:

The fresh light fragrance of tuberose captured at its peak.  This body lotion uses burnt cane sugar, a humectant that attracts and seals moisture into the skin.

My Take on Forest Essentials Bengal Tuberose Ultra Rich Body Lotion:

Bengal Tuberose has become my favorite flower now – I have come to love it through Forest Essentials stuff. This body lotion smells absolutely divine, almost magical! It’s a heady fragrance and for someone like me who lurves the scent of plumeria – it’s awesome! Those who do not like floral scents would hate it.  As I described this scent in an earlier review – it’s rich, beautiful, and has an amazing effect on the senses.  The scent lingers for long on the body, say for three to four hours. I think I should move on to describe the body lotion now 😛

The body lotion is of thick consistency, but I do not have any difficulty in spreading it on the skin.  The best time to apply it is right after you take the shower.  This way, the body lotion is able to lock in moisture and that way keeps the skin hydrated and moisturized for the entire day.  It clears away dry patches and stretchy skin immediately – makes skin supple.  I did not need to reapply it in Hyderabad’s dry weather and absolutely not now – in Calicut’s somewhat humid weather.  This body lotion leaves the skin soft and smooth.  It does not leave any sticky or greasy layer on top – you get hydrated skin without the stickiness that body butters cause.  People with extremely dry skin may feel that the moisturization this body lotion provides is not adequate.  However, in moderate weather conditions, it provides sufficient hydration for all skin types.

It’s feels really good to see that the ingredients used are all natural – burnt cane sugar, kokum butter, cold pressed apricot and almond oils, vitamin E, and of course beeswax.  I am totally impressed.

Absence of sun protection factor is definitely a con, but then, the beautiful scent makes up for it.  It’s a paraben-free body lotion, so cheers for that!
