Nivea Smooth Oil

It is almost summer and most of us don’t like to put any moisturiser on the body as the hot weather makes the creams feel sticky and slippery. However sun dries our skin and we should use something to hydrate it. During the day a moisturiser with high SPF is a must and for the night time one without SPF is better.
My favourite for summer time is Nivea smooth oil and here is a quick overview of what you get:

Price: I bought it in Slovakia, in DM drugstore for under 4€ (unfortunately I threw away the bottle so I don’t remember how much ml you get, but I think it was 200ml).

Smell: it has nice feminine scent, hint of Nivea classic cream perfume with floral base. I love this scent, it makes me feel very relax, it’s very comforting. The scent lasts quite long when I put it on in the evening I can still smell it in the morning. The scent is not overwhelming, nobody will smell it from the distance, it is very close and personal scent that only you know about.

Nivea Smooth Oil

Texture: it is oil but not a heavy one. It has almost liquid consistency; it is transparent, so it looks like water. Still, since it is oil, you can feel it’s a bit slippery. It is ok for me as it makes the application easier.

Hydration: it is focused on very dry skin and promises 24 hours hydration. After its application my skin felt very smooth just like it promises. It soaked into the skin fairly quickly considering that it is oil. It kept my skin hydrated for at least 15 hours (all night and part of the following day). As it is not heavy oil I recommend it for normal to oily skin girls for winter time and of course for girls with dry skin, like mine, for spring and summer time (in the winter I need something more “hard core” than this oil).

Final verdict: I love this body oil, its scent and hydration properties. I already used up one bottle and I’m definitely buying another one soon.
