Nivea UV Protection Body Lotion

Heyyy Girls!!!
Winters are synonymous with body creams and lotions. Preferably, you must make them a part of your daily beauty routine and moisturise your skin post bath, while it is still freshly washed for maximum absorption of the lotion/cream. However, in the dry and harsh winters, even the most low maintenance amongst us should try and invest in a good moisturising lotion. With sun protection. Because just because its cold outside, it does not mean the harmful sun rays cannot or will not damage your skin.

Today's product review is of one such body lotion with an in built SPF. Reviewing today, Nivea UV Potection Body Lotion.


Nivea says :
"Protects skin from harmful UV rays and premature ageing. Nivea UV Protection Body Lotion is a daily protection moisturizer especially developed to maintain your skin's healthy radiance. Advanced UVA/UVB filters protect your skin on the surface from sun exposue while Vitamin E actively works deep within the skin, repairing the damage caused by free radicals, layer by layer."


Price : INR 198


Quantity : 250 ml.


Available at : All leading departmental stores

Nivea UV Protection Body Lotion comes in white plastic bottle with an easy grip shape. The bottle has a flip open cap that closes securely making it okay to travel with. The lotion is white in color with a regular lotion like consistency making it easy to massage into the skin. It has a mild fragrance which sadly, does not linger for long, post use.

Application :
Post bath and towel drying, massage all over your arms, legs and torso.



 
Pro's of Nivea UV Protection Body Lotion :
  • Affordable price for the quantity
  • Quickly soaks into skin post application (30 seconds flat)
  • Has built-in SPF
  • Has Vitamin E and Iso-Protectine which work as antioxidants and protects skin from free radical damage
  •  With daily protection moisturisers, keeps your skin protected and radiant
Cons of Nivea UV Protection Body Lotion :
  • Need to use lots of it to get deep moisturising for my skin, as compared to my previous body lotions (The Body Shop & Garnier Body Cocoon) and hence will run out of it pretty quickly
  • If you are a fragrance seeker in your body lotions (I am!) then this will disappoint you with its dismal smell
To Splurge or Not to Splurge :
I bought this one only due to the built in UV filters and also because I get bored of my current products very quickly. This lotion was nothing spectacular and did nothing extra for my skin. Instead, it made me miss the body lotions I have previously used, which is very unlike me. Get this one only if you spend considerable time outdoors and need a multi tasking body moisturiser. 

Final Verdict :
Nivea UV Protection Body Lotion gets a 3/5 from me!
