Naturium to the Floor, Please!
I’d heard amazing things about Naturium, especially their exfoliating body washes, but I wasn’t after exfoliation—I was craving hydration. So, off I went, strutting my cute little self into SpaceNK (yes, I know they’re in Boots now, but back then, they weren’t). That’s where I stumbled upon their Glow Getter line, which promised everything I could ever want in body care.
The star of this range? Linoleic-rich oils. For my fellow skincare nerds, these are plant-based oils packed with linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid that’s basically a miracle worker for your skin. Think: hydration, reduced inflammation, and a healthier skin barrier. Some examples include sunflower seed oil, grapeseed oil, and evening primrose oil.
Linoleic Acid: Why It’s a Big Deal
Here’s the quick rundown on why linoleic acid is that girl in skincare:
Alright, science class is over. Let’s get into the products!
The Glow Getter Multi-Oil Hydrating Body Wash (£18.00)
I’m not super fussy when it comes to body washes, but they cannot leave me feeling like a squeaky-clean dish. That stripped feeling? Absolutely not. Thankfully, this body wash delivers exactly what it promises. It has a gentle lather that cleanses without stealing your skin’s natural oils, leaving zero residue behind. My skin feels soft, hydrated, and perfectly prepped for lotions and oils after using this. We love a product that does the job without being dramatic.
The Glow Getter Multi-Oil Body Butter (£22.00)
Body butters? Now this is where I get picky. Too many are either greasy or so thin they might as well be water. (And yes, I always apply lotion on damp skin—don’t try me!) This body butter, though? Chef’s kiss. I’m already on my third tub in six months.
Compared to the Bio-Lipid Body Lotion in the same line, this is miles better. The lotion is thin and works fine as a hand cream, but for full-body hydration? Meh. The body butter, on the other hand, is rich, creamy, and deeply moisturizing without feeling heavy or greasy. A definite win.
The Glow Getter Body Oil (£26.50)
Let’s talk body oils. Too often, they make you shiny but leave your skin Sahara-dry underneath. Not cute, not comfy. But this one? It’s a keeper. It hydrates and gives you that glossy glow without feeling heavy or sticky. Some oils sit on your skin like a layer of grease—this isn’t one of them.
It’s perfect on its own but even better paired with the body butter. (Pro tip: Layer them and thank me later.) The scent—a dreamy vanilla-coconut combo—is subtle and works beautifully as a base if you’re into layering fragrances.
Now, let’s address the price. At £26.50, it’s a little spendy for something you might breeze through in two months (Naturium, sponsor me already!), but honestly? It’s worth it.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I’m giving the Glow Getter range a solid 9/10. It’s genuinely good stuff. If you’re in the mood to splurge on body care, go for it. But if you’re only grabbing one thing, let it be the body oil. It’s a game-changer, and your current routine will thank you.
Naturium, I’m ready for my brand deal whenever you are. 💅🏾
