The shifting of seasons from fall to winter is an exciting time for me as far as fashion goes. I’m ready to swap my sandals for knee-high boots and layer T-shirts under my favorite chunky cardigans. But with the change of weather brings a palpable transformation to my skin as well.
My once summer bronze and hydrated radiance turns to a parched and roughened state that constantly needs attention. After a full day of wearing my current summer body lotion, my skin looks dull and dry. Then, itchiness quickly follows suit, which is when I know it’s time to pull out the big guns. I’m putting my old faithful Nivea Shea Nourish Body Lotion back into my body care rotation, and I’ll be buying several bottles while they’re $6 ahead of Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days on October 10 and 11.
Nivea’s body lotion comes in three scents: shea butter, coconut and monoi oil, and cherry blossom with jojoba oil. The star ingredient is rich shea butter with Nivea’s unique deep nourishing serum, which ensures your skin stays supple and moisturized for a full 48 hours, while also giving you noticeably smoother skin after just one use. Its lightweight formula absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a sticky or greasy residue. There’s an easy-to-pump bottle with a push-down and turn lock function to prevent spills, so you can savor every drop of the skin-nourishing lotion.

My loyalty to Nivea’s Shea Nourish Body Lotion for the last few years has been unwavering and it never fails to impress every fall when I bring it back into my routine. I apply it right after a shower or before bed, and it effortlessly melts into my skin without feeling greasy; it delivers an immediate dose of hydration to my dry skin. It's so effective that I find myself washing off the moisture left on my skin the next day. And the 48-hour moisture claim is no exaggeration — my skin feels baby-soft and itch-free.
Can’t take my word for it? The lotion has over 27,000 five-star ratings with raving reviews to match. One shopper said the lotion “absorbs quickly,” leaving skin feeling “velvety soft,” and the smell is “absolutely amazing.” Another reviewer said that their hands still felt moisturized after washing them. They also mentioned that their “dry, cracked hands stopped hurting,” the scent wasn’t overpowering, and that the lotion is a great value for the price.
