Review: Booth's Original Bath & Body Oil
What They Say: "Booth's for over three decades. ...Is it a bath oil? Or a body oil? Because Booth's Original Bath and Body Oil is blended with lightweight sunflower and sesame seed oils, you can enjoy it as both. In warm bathwater, it soaks into thirsty pores. Massaged into dry skin, it quickly vanishes to leave a gorgeous, all-over glow. (Unless you're a guy, in which case it lease you with a healthy, all-over glow.)
Made in Canada.
Directions:
Pour 3 or 4 capfuls into a warm bath and soak for 10-15 minutes. Or massage directly into dry or damp skin, a few fragrant drops at a time."
Melissa's DeLush Downlow: If you use this in the bath, you only need a quick squeeze or two into your running water. Trust me. It's true, this stuff is kind of slick and all, so if it makes you uneasy to think of wiping the tub down afterward, then maybe you don't want to use it as a bath oil. But hey, I really liked the incredibly smooth softness enveloping my skin, and the aromatic effect is incredible. This stuff smells so comforting and soothing. And the way it lingers on your skin? Yum. I was really pleased with how soft my skin felt even the next day.
If you want a less messy and more direct way of using the oil, just get a cotton ball, place it over the bottle and squeeze a little bit onto the ball, and rub that over your arms, legs, applying more to it as needed and then rubbing in the oil with your hand to spread it evenly. It's incredibly softening and soaks nicely into the skin.
I really love this stuff, especially for the price. I might stock up!
Retail Price: $5.99 (at drugstores and superstores, and drugstore.com)
