As someone who has always been incredibly lazy about bodycare, I was pleasantly surprised when one brand recently put me on—suddenly, I’m applying Nativa SPA’s Firming Body Lotion after every shower. To keep the momentum going, I decided to branch out and try the brand’s Madagascar Vanilla Soothing Body Oil
, and yes, it ended up being as enticing as it sounds.
Nativa SPA infuses pure quinoa oil into nearly all of its products because of the ingredient’s high content of protein, fiber and healthy fats; it instantly adds moisture back into the skin while firming and smoothing areas of concern. Best of all, users will notice results as fast as a month from implementing pure quinoa oil into their regimen daily.
The body oil
contains this precious ingredient, alongside sustainably sourced Madagascar Vanilla, the star of this product’s formula, in my humble opinion. The brand describes the oil’s unique vanilla scent as a “cozy, warm, sweet aroma combined with a surprising touch of lemon.” I’d describe it as pure bliss—no joke. If you’re a fan of sugary, sweet fragrances, this will be right up your alley.
Plus, it’s currently down to under $20 during Amazon’s Prime Day sale.
Not only does it instantly engulf your skin with the irresistible scent, but it also lingers for hours after the fact. I’ll use it right in the morning, and by the evening, I’m happy to find my skin has retained the scent as strongly as when it was first applied. It’s almost like a subtle perfume and skincare in one.
The way it makes my skin feel is also of importance; this isn’t your greasy, takes an hour to sink in type of body oil—A.K.A. the one’s that have fed into my laziness in the past. It quite literally melts into your skin upon contact and doesn’t leave you feeling like a sticky pot of honey. The instant softness it adds to your body is also crazy good, and especially soothes the skin post-shaving.
Unsurprisingly, the Madagascar Vanilla Soothing Body Oil
has more fans than just me. Reviewers on the brand’s website have called it “pure wonder in a bottle” and described it as smelling “like heaven.” One person said “a little really goes a long way to make my skin glow,” while another called it a “great smelling oil” with a scent that “lasts all day.”
Truthfully, this body oil would make for a great addition to any summer skincare routine since it absorbs quickly and never feels heavy. Plus, you’ll be in for a ton of compliments on its scent from others.
