Botaneco Garden has a range of body lotions which I’d highly recommend you try as the formulation is free from parabens, silicone, colorant, lanolin (‘wool wax’) and DEA (diethanolamine; a foaming agent). On top of that, it contains eco-certified oils: Babassu Oil from Latin America, Baobab Oil from Africa and Chufa Oil from France. I’m using only the ‘Relaxing’ and ‘Moisturizing’ body lotions in the range, giving the ‘Whitening’ body lotion a miss as I’m not a fan of whitening products in general.
The ‘Relaxing’ body lotion has lavender and rosemary essential oils too, which help to calm the senses after a long day at work. It’s really fragrant, and like I mentioned before in my Watsons post, I love products with the lavender scent as mosquitoes don’t like lavender.
The best part about using this body lotion in massages is that the lotion gets absorbed into the skin really quickly and there is absolutely no sticky or oily feeling thereafter. And it’s very moisturizing too. For some reason, I have very dry skin on my legs. So I’ve been using this body lotion after showers, on my arms and legs.
And if you’re applying body lotion, you might as well give yourself a massage while you’re at it. I’ve attended an acupuncture point massage class before, and I learnt that massages can be done using more than just our thumbs. You can use your elbows, the side of your palms, fingertips (pinch and let go), have all 5 fingers together in a ‘pecking’ motion, patting, and striking (have all 5 fingers open as if grasping a baseball and striking the skin at the same time like a 5-pronged massage device). 
*I’m doing a giveaway over on Facebook – the winner will receive one bottle of Botaneco Garden’s ‘Moisturizing’ Body Lotion which has Sweet Almond and Argan Oils. I’m sure you’ll LOVE it!
