Garnier Body Tonic Firming Lotion - Review

This cream is one of my holy grails for body skincare. I found it after trying numerous creams, trying to find one that would keep me moisturised but not be too heavy and oily. I've been using it for 3 years now and its still doing its job perfectly!

I have to admit when I first used this cream I was like WTH. The texture of the cream when you squirt it out is just like any other light cream (not thick, not gel like more inbetween... thick water) but once you use it if you haven't used it before you might be a bit taken aback by it. As it kind of 'fizzles' but tightens your skin a little. It is the oddest sensation. But once you've used it again and get used to the feel of the cream it doesn't feel any different and all you notice is a really nice citrus smell and it absorbs into your skin super quick.

I found that this cream works especially well on my arms in that it kept my skin moisturised and seemed to keep those chicken skin like pimply things away (not sure if I had Keratosis Pilaris... but I definitely had small red bumps with little trapped hair on my arm randomly).

I found it usable for winter and summer - maybe more heavy handed in winter and light handed in summer.

I'm not sure about the toning properties of the product that is advertised as I'm not using the product for that purpose. I'm oriental so its probably the usual story that I don't have mature skin and then *kapoof overnight somewhere in my sixties it all appears - so can't test the firming property out at the moment.

I usual stock up when there is an offer (half price etc). At the moment RRP for 400mL is £6 (the last stock I brought was at least half price of that I think). One bottle will last you ages even if you like creaming yourself head to toe (like me). If your looking for a good body moisturiser that isn't thick and heavy on the skin with added perks this could be the one.....
