My 1st time with NIVEA’s rinse off body lotion

Whee~~ I finally had my first time with NIVEA's rinse off body lotion and gosh, I went for 7 days straight since I first started! I tried the white bottle(picture is somewhere below :P), which is for normal skin but NIVEA do have a blue bottle one, which is for dry skin and I assume to be the more powerful one la! So, now, share my experience with the experiment below (lol, the last time I wrote something like this was for SPM, which is about 5 years ago or maybe more? :P)

---Beginning of report---

Lab (bathroom) report
Title :
Effect of NIVEA's In-Shower Skin Conditioner (for normal skin) after 1 week

Materials :
NIVEA In-Shower Skin Conditioner(washable lotion), body shampoo and water





















Apparatus:
Shower equipment and towel

Hypotheses :
By using washable lotion, it can
1. Saves time in body care and maintenance in general
2. Makes skins impeccably smooth
3. Evens out skin tone and reduce spots

Constant variable :
Quantity of washable lotion and frequency of daily usage, which is once a day.

Manipulated variable :
None available
(Scientist note : Due to the low budget availability, the scientist was not able to manipulate any variables like test subjects or location)

Procedures :
1. Take a full bath from head-to-toe and bathe as usual.
2. Rinse off all shampoo and body shampoo and make sure the skin does not have any residue left.
3. Take a palm-full(yeah, I have a large surface area to cover :P) of washable lotion and apply all the body, arms, legs and etc etc etc.
4. Rinse off washable lotion with water once application is done (See! No waiting time required at all!)!
5. Dry off body with towel and enjoy the sensation of having a layer of moisturiser over skin.
6. Record observation and findings (available below).
7. Repeat steps 1 to 6 for 7 days (In my case, it is from 20.2.2014 to 26.2.2014).

Observation and findings (recorded based on days/date):
Day 1(20.2.2014) - Using the washable lotion for the first time, I immediately noticed that my skin became fairer. There was also reduced redness from spots I have. However, after I dried myself, I felt that there was a layer of smoothness on my skin (My initial thought was actually 'why my skin feels so weird de'). I thought it was from over-usage of washable lotion when I took my bath.

Day 2(21.2.2014) - Using the same amount, method and order, the spots that I have reduced their redness further and I still felt that layer of smoothness on my skin. I think I am beginning to get used to that feeling. Being a person that has been neglecting this aspect of my skin due to lack of time and effort, washable lotion is a blessing indeed!

Day 3(22.2.2014) - Today, I realised that my skin tone evened out slightly, particularly at the neck and arm area. Ok, just to share a little, I am a modern day slave to money employed by a company and I tend to wear short sleeve formal shirts for work. So there is an obvious difference on my arm. XD So yeah, washable lotion is helping me out here.

Day 4(23.2.2014) - I finally felt that my skin is really turning smooth rather than just feeling smooth after continued usage. Besides that, my spots are also beginning to fade away rather than just losing their redness. Also, instead of having two separate colours on my arm (light brown and fair), now I have a gradient on my arm due to the light brownish part slowly being lighten.

Day 5(24.2.2014) - I began to realised that while I have lengthened my time in the bathroom(which I absolutely love), I save time putting on my clothes because I don't have to wait for the drying process. Besides that, that layer of smoothness does not cause any issues when it comes to putting on your clothes cause I assume it is just the skin showing some form of reaction that it is working with the washable lotion.

Day 6(25.2.2014) - Other than the stuffs and effects mentioned above, there was really nothing else I can say about this product other than the fact that despite using palm-full of it each day, the bottle still feel as heavy as the first day I started using it (does the product secretly multiply during our sleeping hours or something).

Day 7(26.2.2014) - After days of focusing only on the effect and sensation on my skin, I only remembered to sniff the washable lotion because every time I use it, there seem to be barely any smell, so I wondered if it is scent-free or my nose is weak. Turns out, it is very lightly-scented with NIVEA's signature scent. The one where, if you smell it, you will know it is a NIVEA product? Yeah, that was really pleasant too!

Conclusion : All my hypotheses are met with no let-down and disappointment! XD

--- End of report ---

Haha, I thought I simplified the post, I didn't realised it still turn out to be pretty lengthy. Anyway, basically that was my experience with NIVEA's In-Shower Skin Conditioner. And, before I forget, there is this really awesome video(which you might or might not have watched by now, because I think sometimes YouTube shows this as well?) with eye-candies for both female and male ;)


Now, have fun people and go get your hands on some bottles of this amazing NIVEA In-Shower Skin Conditioner! More likely than not, it will be a staple in your bathroom!
