I was lucky to be offered Arabelle Skinsense body oils to try not so long ago and once they arrived I spent each day with different variant of this natural creation. These skin softening products are all based on Organic Apricot Kernel and Organic Sweet Almond Oils which I like for their nutritious and nourishing properties. Arabelle oils may feel rich when first applied to the skin but after rubbing them in you'll notice how quickly they are absorbed into your skin without leaving a greasy residue. 

 Arabelle Serenity Body Oil was the first pick on my agenda It is formulated with  relaxing and somewhat mysterious essential oils, Clary Sage, Ylang Ylang, Benzoin and Jasmine together with Lavender, Chamomile and Petitgrain - altogether they took me on a heavenly satisfying adventure. I have never smelled anything similar before and I must admit - I like it very much. The scent of essential oils is quite strong but only to comfort me into a more subtle equivalent of initial sensation. I can't emphasize enough how much pleasure I got from using this oil - benzoin essential oil lingered on my skin for a whole afternoon through to late evening and for those who prefer sensual perfume, this oil is a perfect natural choice. In addition this soothing blend contains Organic Grape Seed Oil and complex Vitamin E that prevent aging of the skin. Arabelle Skinsense Serenity Body Oil is priced at £18.50 per 200ml which I reckon will assist you with minimum three months of after-shower indulgence.

Treat your body with as equal care as your face - my all times beauty motto I live by everyday. I splashed and rubbed tons of creams, lotions and serums in my body over the years. Some of them smelled beautifully,

others were unscented. Some of them had light texture, others were thick butters and  a few cost me a fortune. Literally, I live in a relationship with body lotions and it was a bit frustrating when I came to realisation that I had used so many of them and couldn't have been faithful to one or perhaps two products. This is because I have created my subjective criteria which I assess my next body lotion with. 

Ingredients Used:

This is the strictest rule I apply when choosing a cream. I want my cream to be power-packed with nutrients extracted from plants, seeds or fruits. Parabens, silicones or preservatives are an absolute No No. I enthusiastically welcome natural essential oils and butters in my cream. Marine algae, or seaweeds are very desirable for their firming and anti-ageing properties.

Texture and Absorbency:

As obvious as it should be, not all of the body care brands quite got it yet. Here is the reminder: US GIRLS DON'T DO GREASE ON SKIN. We haven't got time to keep rubbing in a blob that feels like it has been destined to be applied to our morning toast rather. 

The After-Effect:

The most crucial criterion and the final "decider". If my skin is soft for longer than three hours, if it feels smooth and velvety, if it improves elasticity and cares for my collagen stores, if it makes me want to touch my body again and again - only then I have found my long term relationship potential hidden in a tube or a pot.
