Skin Care Review: St Ives Cucumber Melon Moisture Therapy Lotion

Rating
No effect

Benefits
Cooling, Moisturizes for a while

Drawbacks
Doesn't last very long, smells horrible, like stale cucumber

Details
I used to love St Ives lotions until i tried this one. I decided to try it because I couldnt find the vanilla one, which used to be my favourite. It does what it says, moisturizes and everything, but it seems to wear off in a coupla hours, unlike the vanilla one. It does make your skin soft to some extent, but it also leaves a sort of sticky feeling, especially on a hot or humid day it`s so uncomfortable that I`d rather shower again and go out with dry skin that feel sticky. And the smell is pretty horrible, makes you feel like you fell in a tub of stale, overripe cucumbers and forgot to wash it off. Time to switch moisturizer brands.

Conclusions
If you like st ives, try the collagen or the newer ones, but stay clear of the cucumber
