Seeing The Body Shop’s new skin care launch triggered two initial reactions: I never choose sorbet for dessert and anything infused with Vitamin E makes me think of winter. Intrigued by its pink color though, I decided I had to have it. And, just a few days later, I am absolutely loving the new Vitamin E Aqua Boost Sorbet facial moisturizer. #TakingChances
Perfect during the warm weather months, the Aqua Boost Sorbet is both light and refreshing. Often when I experiment with new treatments, I apply them to half my face to help me notice any changes (contrasts). Almost immediately upon application, I experienced a hardcore cooling sensation, so I quickly did the other half to avoid feeling like a stroke victim. The chilly tingle and delicious fruity floral scent disappeared just after a few minutes. #NothingLastsForever
After the initial burst of freshness, expect lasting hydration thanks to the Aqua Sphere technology. Your skin’s thirst is quenched by 2 million microscopic spheres with encapsulated and time released moisture reservoirs in each 50ml jar. Although The Body Shop markets this as a daytime moisturizer, I also use Aqua Boost Sorbet at night given the needs of my oily skin this time of year. #WhoCountsTheSpheresThough???
The velvety texture of this aqua light gel absorbs fast and leaves your skin hydrated yet matte, which is a huge bonus during the summer. It’s surprising that it can be so refreshing and light in consistency, yet packed with nourishing ingredients like Shea Butter, Soya and Wheat Germ Oils. My first try of The Body Shop’s Vitamin E line with this latest ancillary is a total hit. #HomeRun
At $22 (1.7oz), Aqua Boost Sorbet is a really good deal. While you’ll maximize its benefits in the summer months always remember The Body Shop’s crazy deals year round. There is an excellent chance it will be featured on its own or as part of a future offer. Sign up for their Email Updates. You won’t believe the madness around the Holiday Season. That’s usually when I stock up on my facial Vitamin C favorites as well as their seasonal bath and body items. #StockOptions
