Lotus Herbals WhiteGlow Skin Whitening & Brightening Hand and Body Lotion Review
I have an extremely dry skin and can’t survive without moisturizer even in summers. Like we get thirsty for water my skin thirsts for moisturizer. I feed my skin with moisturizers like anything. The moisturizers/Body lotions are the most used product in my shelf. I finish up with Body lotions so soon that I am always on a lookout for a new one.
In summers, when thick moisturizers make skin sweats and light moisturizer don’t suffice I prefer to use moisturizers that gets absorbed fast and provides nourishment to my super dry skin with some SPF protection too as my skin gets tan easily.

My experience with Lotus Herbals WhiteGlow Skin Whitening & Brightening Hand & Body Lotion :-
Lotus Herbals WhiteGlow Body lotion is milky white in color, thick in texture but spreads easily on the skin. It has a strong sweet smell of some ripen fruit that I couldn’t recognize but it smells delicious. It feels like I am nourishing my skin with some fresh fruit pulp. The smell stays for good 2-3 hours after which it faints away slowly. Earlier I was using Vaseline healthy white body lotion which was also doing a good job but doesn’t smell anywhere near this.
The lotion has a slightly thick consistency but it spreads easily all over the body. The lotion is moisturizing enough and leaves my skin soft and smooth. Can’t say for sure about its whitening effect but it has definitely brightened up my skin tone and also worked on my uneven skin tone. It made my skin glow by reducing the tanning and providing SPF protection so as to save it from further damage. My skin looks smooth and radiant.
The only problem that I have with this is it takes a lot of time to get absorbed. I have to keep rubbing it for 1-2 minutes to let it seep completely into the skin. It took so much time to get absorbed that I assumed it is going to leave a whitish cast on my skin but to my surprise it doesn’t.
