This Smoothing Body Cream Made My Pruney Hands & Feet Oh-So Soft After a Weekend in the Pool

I won’t lie; I love going to the beach and pool as much as the next person. Even though I hate getting my hair wet (yes, I’m that girl), I enjoy splashing around all day like a child in a kiddie pool . What I don’t enjoy, however, is how pruney my skin gets. And I get it; it happens to everyone, but it takes a while for my skin to bounce back, especially if I’m going in chlorine or the ocean for multiple days in a row. But before my last vacation , I made sure to pack this smoothing body lotion that softened my wrinkly skin right up.

Nativa Spa’s Lilac Smoothing collection is the latest from the Brazilian body care brand. At the core of the new line is a Body Lotion made with the brand’s signature ingredient, quinoa oil. Paired with Bioretinol, the formulation instantly hydrates and moisturizes dry skin. Over time, it helps firm and smooth the surface to reveal soft and supple skin. The new line has a fresh floral scent of lavender, iris, violet, and lilac, creating a calming aroma when you apply it.

Lilac Smoothing Body Lotion

As someone who doesn’t care for lilac or lavender scents, I was pleasantly surprised when I smelled the new body lotion. The smell is perfectly light — you can definitely sense the combination, but it’s not overpowering, nor does it linger too long. But honestly, when it comes to body lotion, I’m not the most concerned with its smell; instead, I like how well it keeps my skin moisturized.

After spending three days in dry heat, going in and out of pools and the ocean, my skin felt incredibly dry, tight, and pruney. While the scent of the hotel’s lotion was more up my alley, it did nothing for my skin. I repeatedly returned to this smoothing lotion every time I took a shower or was done with the water for the day. The chunky wrinkles and rough texture were a thing of the past as soon as I applied it. Unlike the hotel lotion that would dry out my skin to the point that I would question if I even put any on, the Lilac Smoothing lotion kept my skin hydrated all day long — even if I dipped back in the water.

Trust me when I say this is a body product you’ll want to keep around. ≥With the colder months approaching soon, tight, dry skin is, unfortunately, in the foreseeable future, and this fresh-scented lotion will help combat it. And given that this line is new, it already has a five-star rating!

“Another winner,” a shopper who frequents Nativa Spa wrote. “I love the light floral scent, and my skin feels amazing. It’s so creamy and luxurious. Soaks in and doesn’t feel greasy.” While another frequent shopper wrote, “I love this lotion. It’s so fresh smelling. Very moisturizing and not greasy. So far, I love every product I’ve gotten.
