The Body Shop Seaweed Mattifying Moisture Lotion SPF 15

The skin on my face is quite strange -- some days it's SO dry, it actually hurts a bit. Other days, it's so oily, I find myself grabbing a tissue and dabbing my face lightly, especially if there's makeup on it. I'm usually quite skeptical about the products from The Body Shop, but after buying this, my skepticism has diminished! Not only does this get rid of that irritating shine that I always have on my face, it also makes my face feel alot smoother and not super oily! Also, when I put makeup on afterwards, it tends to stay on longer and doesn't get all sticky and runny. All in all, a great investment for those that have combo skin on their face like me! I also suggest you look into the other Seaweed products that they have -- they all work great!

I love this facial lotion. When I went to The Body Shop I spoke to a sales associate, and she explained that the seaweed line is for people with combination/oily skin (like me!) I told her that I have used the Tea Tree Oil line before and although I have the occasional blemish, this line dried out my skin. She said that line is designed to reduce breakouts, but also to reduce oil, and suggested that since I have combination skin that I should go for the Seaweed line instead because it is designed to even out my skin – give it moisture where it needs it, and control oil when it needs that. I have to say this product did just that – it hydrated my skin, and it also helped to control shine in my t-zone. It also contains SPF 15 which I love, because I refuse to use a daily facial lotion that does not contain sunscreen. I highly recommend this product to anyone with combination skin, and suggest that you go into The Body Shop to check out the whole line.
