Nivea Express Hydration Body Lotion Review

"Hydration" according to me is a very important thing needed by our body from head to toe. Our hair needs hydration to combat dullness and promote healthy hair growth. Our skin, not only the face but the whole body needs hydration to prevent dryness and achieve glowing skin. A well-hydrated skin looks more youthful and prevents premature aging. This word hydration compelled me to buy Nivea Express Hydration Body Lotion during my recent shopping trip. It was an impulsive buy because I was attracted to its claims and the current cold and dry weather. Nivea is a brand that has hardly disappointed me but when it comes to their range of body lotions they are on par excellence. Although I have a stack full of body lotions unfinished, I bought this one because I know a body lotion is something which our body needs all round the year. So read further to know if it lives up to its claims or not.

My Experience With Nivea Express Hydration Body Lotion:

Nivea Express Hydration Body Lotion comes in a white plastic bottle with a blue flip open cap. The bottle is sturdy and the lid secures itself without any leakage. This makes the product travel-friendly. I got the smaller bottle for trying out and this bottle can perfectly fit into your luggage without any hassles. The front and back have all the details of the product.
The body lotion is pure milky white in color. It has a light, flowing and little sticky consistency. It's not thick like most of the body lotions in the market. So it would be a great pick for summers. The lotion has a mild fragrance which is not overpowering. But for people who like their body lotion fragrance to keep on lingering, this one is going to disappoint you. I am one of them as I like my hands to be fragrant. This product has a very mild scent which disappears after few hours. This lotion gets absorbed really fast. Although the texture seems a bit sticky, this lotion wins hands down when it comes to absorption. It sinks in very fast. This lotion is absolutely nonsticky and nongreasy. It doesn't feel like you are wearing the body lotion and something is sitting on your hand.

Coming to the main part, this lotion hydrates your skin well. It moisturizes and leaves the skin healthy and supple. But this much moisturization is not going to be enough in winter or for people with very dry skin. Now that it's winter, this lotion keeps the skin hydrated for 2 hours. Maybe in summer, it would stay for a bit long. But its claims of 24-hour moisturization are absolutely not true. Also, it does not contain any SPF value, so it's not going to protect your skin from sun rays.

Pros Of Nivea Express Hydration Body Lotion:

• Smooth and easy to spread texture.
• Mildly fragrant.
• Affordable.
• Lightweight and nongreasy.
• Travel-friendly packaging.
• Provides light moisturization and makes the skin soft.
• Gets absorbed quickly.

Cons Of Nivea Express Hydration Body Lotion:

• Not suitable for winter.
• Not enough moisturizing for the very dry skin.
• Contains parabens.
• No SPF.

Diva Likes Rating:

2.5/5

Final Note:

Nivea Express Hydration Body Lotion is a good option for summer when you don't want your body lotion to be greasy. It is a lightweight lotion which is going to hydrate your skin but that hydration is not going to be enough for the winter season or for very dry skin. So I have a mixed bag of feelings for this product.
