HZ Tried & Tested: Akihi Body Butter Detailed Review

If your skin feels dry and itchy during the summer season, you should turn to body butters and ditch regular moisturisers and lotions. Body butter has a thicker consistency and a long-lasting formula that keeps your skin hydrated for a long time. I recently started using body butter from Akihi enriched with cocoa and shea butter for my skin. Is it worth buying? Here, read my detailed review.

Fragrance and Texture

My Experience

I have naturally dry skin and can't do without a moisturising lotion or cream. I tried a couple of new launches in the last few months but nothing worked for me. Honestly, if I don't slather my face and body with a cream or lotion after a bath, my skin starts to feel itchy. When I first came across Akihi's body butter and read through its claim, I wondered if the product would work for real but some reviews hailed the product and I was convinced to invest in this one.

I loved the product packaging, simple yet appealing, and a sturdy plastic box that can be easily reused. Coming to the product, I love the buttery texture, it is smooth, and quickly absorbs into the skin. The fragrance is light and refreshing, perfect to kickstart the day. Since the product can be used on the face too, it saved me money. I didn't invest in a different moisturising product for my face and have been using this body butter for my face too.

Price-wise, yes, the product costs a tad bit higher than a lot of body butters available in the market but for me, it was worth it! Full marks for the product's claims, it works like magic on your dry skin, keeps you hydrated for long hours, and gives a non-greasy feel.

Pros

• Nourishing ingredients
• Soothing fragrance
• Non-greasy body butter
• Skin feels moisturised for long
• A little product goes a long way
• The product can be used on the face too
• Buttery texture

Cons

The tub is quite heavy, and not travel-friendly. The product can be transferred to a smaller container for travel.

Verdict

This body butter is the product you need if your skin is naturally dry or feels rough during summer. A thin layer of this body butter goes a long way, it keeps you hydrated for hours. If budget isn't a constraint, you should invest in Akihi's shea butter and cocoa body butter this season. You won't regret it!

PS: Don't forget to do a patch test of the product at the back of your hand before using it on your face or body.
