Body moisturizing is super important but a lot of us skip it because we are in a hurry or we can’t find the right type of moisturizer for our skin types. Especially in the summers where we need the hydration without the stickiness or heavy feeling on the skin. That’s why I thought The Body Shop Body Yogurt is the best option to review for this hot and heaty summer.

Packaging: The Body Shop packaging is always on point but with this body yogurt they have reached a new level of cuteness for me. The tub is super pretty and convenient. Its not bulky or heavy which makes it super easy to travel with. Some of you may hate the tub packaging because you will have to dip your hands in it but I don’t mind since we apply cream usually after bath and our hands are clean. This way its less wastage, you take out as much as you need. The quality of the plastic is also very good. The tubs are colourful and coded according to the fragrance/flavor.
Formula: Its a gel based moisturizer. Its light weight and bouncy in consistency. It gets absorbed very easily and quite fast on the skin. Makes your skin feel fresh and light and hydrated without any stickiness. But I do find that consistency of the gel is different. Like the fruit based are way more lighter then the Almond and banana ones. The scent of the Banana stays way longer compared to the others. Almond is made for sensitive skin. The consistency and staying power of the scent of the fruit and flower is the same. Basically they are all hydrating and feel amazing on the skin.
My Experience: By the number of tubs I have you can see the love I have for this body yogurt. This moisturizer is everything I wish in a body lotion. Its super light weight, its hydrating and feels fresh and amazing on the skin. its something every skin type can use. They even have the Almond version for sensitive skin and have the banana one for more dry skin. The scents are all amazing and feel divine and lasts a long time on the skin. You can choose from fruits to flowers and they all smell amazing. Also the bonus is the moisturizer is named yogurt but its vegan that means it does not contain any animal milk products.
I like fruits more personally since I prefer stronger and sweet smells more. The first one I tried in this range was the mango and It smells like citrus more towards raw mango and I loved it so much I went to purchase another one but they were out of stock so I went for the strawberry since it was winter when I purchased it then I went for the Almond one since my skin was getting the small boils due to the heat rise as summer was approaching then I got the banana one. My mom had a very bad case of peeling and itchy skin and nothing worked for her till she used the banana one and she suddenly started getting better so she kept the tub for herself so I had to go get another one. This is great if you suffer from dry patches on the skin since it really helped my mom a lot. Also the bonus was she smelled like sugary banana candy goodness through out the day.
This is perfect for summer season especially if you have oily skin and nothing else works for you. In winters I do tend to mix something else with the yogurt because my skin gets super dry but if you have normal skin this will work great for you all seasons. Also you need to reapply this again and again since your skin stays hydrated throughout the day.
Infact they now have a new scent and I am gonna get my hands on that too.
The one con I have with this is, it gets over really quickly since you do need a good amount of it and you will need enough to cover your whole body. One tub for me lasts only a month if I use it for full body regularly. Now the reason this lasts a little longer for me is I sometimes use other body lotions by Body Shop and mix this with them. And it is expensive to repurchase every month. But then I love it enough that I would buy it every month and I have few friends who also love this a lot and buy it regularly.
My Rating: (I would give it 6 out of 5 if it was a little more affordable)
Do let me know if you have tried this and if you like it and which scent have you tried.
