Kiehl's Creme de Corps for Great Ormond Street Hospital









When I received this last week, I couldn't wait to get started on using it and promised that this week I would let you know how I was getting on with it. 
I actually think I sampled a little bit of this in the Thailand Kiehl's store pictured above, which in that dry heat when down a treat.

I do love a body moisturiser, although tend to find so many of them quite greasy. I quite often go for a Body Shop Body Butter or something similar, but definitely prefer something more milky and lighter.

Kiehl's Creme De Corps is a "super-enriched moisturising treatment for the body with Beta-Carotene for dry or flaking skin that needs extra care and moisture nourishment", now my skin doesn't need extra help as it isn't particularly dry, but being so into fake tan, it's important that my skin stays moisturised to avoid that cracking, dry (awful) look.

The key ingredients of this product include Beta-Carotene, Cocoa Butter and Sesame Oil. The only one of these important ingredients I really know about here, is the popular choice of Cocoa Butter. If it's not citrus based, then I'll always opt for a product where Cocoa Butter is included, I find it really nourishing on my skin and I know its a popular choice for others too.

I must admit, I don't normally moisturise myself that much. Well not as much as I should. I've probably just failed myself as a beauty blogger there but it's just something I'm normally quite lazy on. Since receiving this, I have been moisturising twice a day, without fail (except on Fake Tan Friday! Once after my morning shower, and once before bed. 

I absolutely am thrilled with the results. This lotion is definitely the consistency I prefer- milky and quite light. It's no effort to rub in and although this product is said to take a little longer than others to soak in, I find it soaks in and dries pretty quickly. It does feel a bit greasy, but I'm guessing with it being formulated for super dry skin, it would be. I can however get dressed or get into bed straight away and it's not uncomfortable in the slightest.

Particularly my forearms and legs feel really soft and smooth, which now, with Summer creeping up on us, is great timing.
Most importantly (shallow statement), it has kept my fake tan beautiful. I had a super exfoliate on Thursday night, ready Friday but before and after, hasn't flaked or gone dry looking- eek!

The scent of the product is extremely subtle, and nothing overwhelming at all. To be honest, its more unscented than anything, which I find really pleasant.

I've not quite used this for ten days running, but it is said to be that after ten days you will notice a difference. I certainly believe this statement to be true, as after just seven I seem to have. 
Some of you may be wondering why on earth I am writing up about a skincare product just one week after receiving it, and I totally understand. It is limited edition and is for a great charity, so I wanted to get it out there as soon as possible. It's also working such a treat and I really don't think it will go downhill from here- although of course, if it did I'd let you know!

In the Kiehl's world, this is an extremely popular product and normally comes in four different sizes, in quite a simple bottle (which I love).
The product pictured above is in fact a 500ml Pump, beautiful Limited Edition version, which has been released in collaboration with Daisy and Pearl Lowe for the Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity.
It's a little more pricey than any Body Moisturiser I have tried before, but may have become one of those more pricey treats for myself. The 500ml Pump bottle is £44 and this limited edition bottle is available from both free standing Kiehl's stores and Selfridges.
