WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT?
The Body Shop Seaweed Oil Control Day Cream.

TELL ME MORE
I’m a huge loyalist of The Body Shop. I love their products and I adore their packaging. I’ve never walked out of their store empty-handed and more often than not, my skin has thanked me for my wise decision. The Seaweed Oil Control Day Cream was one such purchase. Packed in a refreshing aqua blue tub, it stores the goodness of an ocean in it. Born underwater, this seaweed-induced day cream has the ability to control excess sebum for quite a while. Yes, it is really as good as it sounds. And for those with oily and combination skin, this one’s a real treat. Its jiggly, wiggly bouncy gel texture will make your skin jump in delight. Light and refreshing, even a tiny dollop spreads smoothly, and gets absorbed easily. The texture is just the right balance of liquid and gel. It’s not too gooey, nor is it too watery. The best part is that it’s not sticky, so it does not clog pores or lead to breakouts. While it’s a great product, the only contention I have is that it controls oil effortlessly for 4 to 5 hours. After which, that shiny gleam reappears. But that’s a very tiny reservation I have in the sea of goodness it offers.

DOES IT SMELL GOOD?
Undoubtedly, it does. It has an extremely pleasant fragrance, with mild notes of aqua. It reminds me of the sea because that’s how fresh it smells. Once it settles on your skin, it fades into an even softer, lovelier fragrance.

SHOULD I BUY IT?
It’s definitely worth trying. I’m already on my third tub so you can imagine the wonders it did for my skin. So yes, I’d say try it out and you’ll see a ‘sea’ of difference (Come on, this pun was waiting to happen).

GIRLY TIP
Don’t go overboard while using it. A small dollop will hydrate your skin well and keep the excess sebum at bay for a couple of hours at best.
