The BodyShop glazed apple body butter. Review.

Moving to Dubai, and motherhood have resulted in my skin turning extremely dry and permanently parched. With the approaching winter I was off on a quest to find a lotion or moisturizer to quench my skin which seems to declare war on me by changing with the seasons. 
Hydration and extreme moisture has become essential in the dry climate of Dubai.However, with two kids I simply do not have the  time to wait for the lotion to absorb in my skin, which is probably why most lotions and moisturizers don't seem to work on me.
So while my favourite African honey and beeswax butter was out of stock(I shall rave about it another time), I bumped into their limited edition holiday releases. (Why cant I resist anything with Christmas decorations on it. They just make me feel so happy!)
The Body Shop releases a few holiday favourites every year and I was absolutely hooked by the Glazed Apple body butter. The Glazed Apple body butter has been a staple holiday release from The Body Shop for the past few years. 

The body butter comes in a green tub, which though might be un-hygienic, is honestly very practical. It would be impossible to get the butter with it's thick consistency out of a tube or a pump. 
The moment you open the tub, you are hit by the refreshing, delicious, fruity fragrance of spiced apples and cinnamon. The butter itself is a light green colour, and has a thick whipped cream like consistency.


The best thing about The Body Shop's shea butters is that they provide instant moisture to your skin and hands, get absorbed very quickly by the skin without leaving a greasy layer on the skin.
My pet peeve with most lotions is that they leave a greasy layer on the skin which is icky and refuses to go away  for hours. However, that problem is eliminated while using The Body Shop's shea butters.
The Body Shop's Glazed Apple body butter contains shea butter,sesame seeds, soybean oil and cocoa butter. The butter is rich and creamy and provides intense hydration lasting upto 6 to 8 hours even with all the dish washing and mess cleanups I did with two kids!
If you love these fruity fragrances, I recommend you stock up on this delicious Green apple scented butter, as it's limited edition for the holidays.
Pros:
Intense effective lasting hydration
Fruity smell
Absorbs quickly.
No greasy layer left on skin.

Cons:
Limited edition.
