The journey with The Body Shop’s Oils of Life Sleeping Cream starts with the unboxing experience. As someone who values aesthetics, I must say that the packaging won me over right away.

How to apply The Bodyshop oils of life sleeping cream
It is called “OVER NIGHT LIFE INFUSING RITUAL” by the bodyshop
First, apply it evenly onto the fingertips and then massage the face, neck and décolleté in an upward motion while avoiding the eye area. I recommend using very little product as bodyshop creams are very concentrated.
| INSTANTLY | FROM FIRST WAKEUP | NIGHT AFTER NIGHT |
|---|---|---|
| Skin would feel suppler and velvety | Skin feels smoother and intensely nourished | Skin appears rested, more radiant and visibly revitalised. |
Precious Seed Oils
Now, let’s talk about the star of the show – the precious seed oils. The Oils of Life range from The Body Shop is known for its use of cold-pressed seed oils, and this sleeping cream is no exception. It contains a blend of three precious seed oils: black cumin seed oil from Egypt, camellia seed oil from China, and rosehip seed oil from Chile.
These oils are renowned for their revitalizing properties, and they work together to provide your skin with a burst of nourishment and hydration. Black cumin seed oil is known for its antioxidant properties, camellia seed oil is rich in oleic acid, which helps to moisturize and soften the skin, and rosehip seed oil is packed with vitamins that promote a healthy, radiant complexion.
What’s even better is that these oils are cold-pressed to retain their maximum potency. That means you’re getting all the goodness of these precious seeds in every application
Aicha’s Experience of The Bodyshop oils of life sleeping cream
After I had a unfortunate experience with the facial oil of the same range. I was really heart broken. However, I didn’t know why I was sure that Oils of Life – Sleeping mask would do well. So, with this in mind, I bought it precise it consists of the same three major ingredients like that in the facial oil. My aim was to enjoy the rejuvenating properties of the oils as Bodyshop claims without any side effects (of course i’m talking about the deadly acne).
Texture and Application of The Bodyshop oils of life sleeping cream
When it comes to texture and application, The Body Shop’s Oils of Life Sleeping Cream truly stands out. The cream boasts a luxuriously rich consistency, and a little goes a long way, making it a perfect fit for individuals like me with oily skin. Taking a small amount on my fingertips, I gently massaged it into my freshly cleansed face and neck. The cream effortlessly glided on, instantly delivering a surge of hydration without leaving any greasy residue.
One of the most impressive aspects was how swiftly the cream was absorbed by my skin. There were no sticky remnants or that undesirable tacky sensation. Instead, it effortlessly melded with my skin, leaving it feeling incredibly soft and pampered. Right from the get-go, it was evident that this cream was all about nourishing and revitalizing, which was precisely what my skin needed after a long day.
As a result of incorporating this cream into my routine, I noticed an immediate improvement in my skin’s texture. It felt noticeably softer and more supple after the very first application.
Moreover, beyond its softening effects, the cream contributed to a radiant complexion. Living in a hot climate exposes my skin to the harsh elements like sun and pollution, which can often lead to dullness. However, the sleeping mask effectively countered these factors, helping to minimize the dulling effects they had on my skin.
I had high hopes that the precious Rosehip seed oil contained in the cream would help lighten my acne marks or at least provide some evening of my complexion. Unfortunately, this expectation was not met, although it’s worth noting that The Body Shop never claimed that the cream would address these concerns.
Curious about potential factors affecting my skin, I decided to use the Intensely Revitalizing Sleeping Cream both with and without the accompanying facial oil. It turned out that the facial oil was the culprit behind any adverse skin reactions.
Furthermore, it’s important to note that The Body Shop’s Intensely Revitalizing Sleeping Cream is a 100% vegan product formulated without mineral oil, paraffin, and petrolatum. This commitment to ethical and sustainable ingredients is a significant plus for conscientious consumers.
