Himalaya Herbals Winter Care Range Archives - Cherry on Top

Hello, guys! Remember, I told you about Himalaya Herbals’ Rich Cocoa Intensive Body Lotion in my post on the Himalaya Herbals Winter Care Range? Now, Himalaya Herbals has introduced a new version of that lotion, that is the Rich Cocoa Butter Body Cream. This new variant is exclusively formulated for dry to very dry skin. When I received this product in my mail, I was really happy. I want to thank Himalaya Herbals for creating something like this. Now, let’s get into the review of the Himalaya Herbals Rich Cocoa Butter Body Cream.

I have been a huge fan of Himalaya Herbals since I was a teenager. My first face wash was from Himalaya Herbals and since then it has been my holy grail skin care brand. I was extremely excited to know that they have come up with their very own range of body butters or, as they call it, body creams. Although my facial skin type is the combination type, the rest of my body is dry. In winters, it becomes even drier. During winters, I need something that is extra-nourishing, extra-hydrating and extra-longlasting. Himalaya Herbals Rich Cocoa Butter Body Cream gives me that extra TLC.

Price- Rs 270/- for 200g (Buy here)

Packaging- The Himalaya Herbals Rich Cocoa Butter Body Cream comes in a chocolate-coloured plastic tub packaging with a screw lid. On both the top and the bottom sides of the tub are labels containing all the information about the product. There is an extra protective covering underneath the lid to prevent the product from spilling. The packaging makes it very easy to travel with.

Ingredients-

Texture & Formula- The Himalaya Herbals Rich Cocoa Butter Body Cream is supposed to be a body butter, thus, it is very obvious that it would have a thicker consistency than a body lotion or a normal cream. The texture of this product is very creamy, looks and feels very thick but when you apply it onto your body, it blends really well and gets absorbed into the skin very fast. The butter-like formula ensures nourishment and good hydration. Despite being a thicker consistency, it does not feel sticky.

My Experience with Himalaya Herbals Rich Cocoa Butter Body Cream

It’s been more than a week since I started using the Himalaya Herbals Rich Cocoa Butter Body Cream and I can tell you that I am completely in love with this. Quality wise, I think it would be fair enough to compare this body cream with the body butters I used from The Body Shop. The formulation is definitely richer than the Rich Cocoa Intensive Body Lotion, but it feels very light-weight on the skin and definitely does not make it greasy. Although it is a thick consistency, but it also has a fast-absorbing formula which I love about it. The ingredients contain herbal actives and Himalaya Herbals is a brand that can be relied on when it comes to their ingredients.

The key ingredient of this body cream is Cocoa butter which is known to work wonders for dry skin. The intense emollient property of Cocoa butter nourishes and moisturizes the skin and makes it soft and supple. The Vitamin E in it protects the skin from any external harm that is caused by the sun or pollution. The hydration lasts for a really long time. The longest I had it on my skin was for 9 to 9 and a half hours which is pretty satisfying for me. I would definitely buy another tub as soon as it is finished. The Rich Cocoa Butter Lip Balm was another of my favourites from this range. The I would highly recommend you guys to try it out yourself if you are looking for a body butter that matches the quality of a TBS body butter but in a cheaper price.

Winter is here and I am pretty sure most of you are dealing with various skin problems, be it major or minor. I am someone who has dry skin during winters and combination during the rest of the year. So, my skin concerns would most definitely be different from yours. Gladly, at this time of the year, Himalaya herbals has come up with their entire range of Winter Care that has products for all skin types. Isn’t it great? If you are following me on my social media platforms (do check them out and show some love) then you must have already seen the huge box of goodies that Himalaya had sent to me. Today, I’ll be sharing all the details of the Himalaya Herbals Winter Care Range. So, are you ready? Let’s start-

Himalaya Herbals Winter Care Range can be divided into three categories- skin care, body care and lip care. I’ll be discussing all three of them separately.

Skin Care

The skin care category has four products in total- Winter Defence Moisturizing Cream, Nourishing Skin Cream, Clear Complexion Whitening Day Cream and Revitalizing Night Cream. The latter two are from their premium skincare range.

Winter Defence Moisturizing Cream

Price- Rs 125/- for 100ml, Rs 75/- for 50ml (Buy here)

What it does?

An effective blend of herbal extracts that moisturizes even the extremely dry areas of your skin, Himalaya Herbals Winter Defense Moisturizing Cream is enriched with Wheat Germ, a rich source of Natural Vitamin E that protects skin from environmental damage. Jojoba Oil and Almond Oil repair and deeply nourish dry skin, keeping it soft and supple even during the harshest, winter months.

My Views-

This cream is very hydrating but doesn’t feel or look greasy. It nourishes my skin and helps control the appearance of dry patches on my skin. It stays put for a long time.

Nourishing Skin Cream

Price- Rs 220/- for 200ml, Rs 125/- for 100ml, Rs 75/- for 50ml (Buy here)

What it does?

The cream is blended with the extracts of Aloe Vera, Winter Cherry, Indian Kino Tree and Indian Pennywort, which protect your skin from pollution and dry weather, providing nourishment and moisture.

My Views-

This cream is a light-weight version of the Winter Defence Moisturizing Cream. It is has a fast absorbing, moisturizing and completely non-greasy formula that I love.

Clear Complexion Whitening Day Cream

Price- Rs 250/- for 50g (Buy here)

What it does?

Himalaya’s Clear Complexion Whitening Day Cream gives a radiant glow and brighter skin tone. Our day cream is light and non-greasy, enriched with unique herbal extracts and CINNABLO™ to provide three effective actions:

Hydrates skin
Lightens skin tone
Clears complexion

The breakthrough herbal sunblock CINNABLO™ provides UV protection and prevents skin darkening.

My Views-

This is a part of my morning skincare routine now. I love how moisturizing it is on its own. You do not even require a separate moisturizing cream unless you have very dry skin. I don’t need any additional step to moisturize my skin when I’m using this.

Revitalizing Night Cream

Price- Rs 200/- for 50g (Buy here)

What it does?

Himalaya Herbals Revitalizing Night Cream is a deep-penetrating, luxurious cream that works overnight with the skin’s natural renewal cycle. The cream provides three essential benefits that make skin soft, supple and rejuvenated:

Renews skin cells
Hydrates skin
Repairs daily damage

My Views-

This cream is very light-weight, easily absorbs into the skin without making it greasy, very soothing and refreshing and has a soothing fragrance to it. It is currently an indivisible part of my night time skincare routine.

My Views on the Himalaya Herbals Winter Care body lotions-

All the three variants are very nourishing, penetrates deep into the skin, keeps the skin hydrated for a really long time. They might not feel very heavy on the skin but they make the skin look and feel healthy and moisturized. Among the three, the Cocoa Butter Intensive body lotion has a long-staying fragrance.
