Parachute Advansed Summer Fresh Body Lotion Review

Parachute Advanced Summer Fresh Body Lotion Review

Don’t look at me strange please! Summer has said bye to us long back but still I didn’t review this product which was sitting in my shelf for more than 2 months. Do you remember when I received the parachute summer hamper? (Yes! With those yummy mint candies) but it took 2 months for me to finally review it here. This really shows that I am a super lazy girl but anyhow there is nothing called ‘monsoon’ here in Chennai. We are seeing rain once in a week or once in 10 days. Uff, that’s so bad. Here in South India, the sun is on the rule till today and thus using this lotion won’t be much tough as it is light, suitable for summers. Not just this one, I have so many products to be reviewed here but still they are sleeping in my shelf. Bear with me girls, I am getting brisk from today so you can expect many reviews here in upcoming days. Don’t feel like ‘Yikes, this girl is using so many skincare and makeup products?! Huh’ because I am scheduling all the posts :D Got it now? Come lets move on to the review.

My Experience with this Product:

Packaging
This summer fresh body lotion comes in a very beautiful plastic bottle which is pale green (Or milk green?) in colour, cute, beautiful and very curvy (This makes the packaging look very feminine and sexy). Though simply packed, I fell in love at first sight with its packaging. It is so CURVY you know. This makes it easy to hold too. I guess there are 2-3 more sizes available but I am not sure about their prices. Each and every size comes in a same kinda curvy bottle with a flip cap at top. The flip type cap is sturdy enough for travel and makes the product hygienic-to-use as well. For this price, I did not expect this kind of a beautiful packaging so hats off!

Colour, Consistency & Fragrance 
I cannot identify whether it is coconut milk or mint but this lotion just has a very fresh and divine fragrance! The fragrance is really super fresh and natural but not strong at all. I loved that the fragrance is mild, not that overpowering but still fresh. See, talking about the fragrance I forgot to mention the other parts first. This body lotion is white in colour, with a pale green tint to it and has a normal to runny consistency. The light green tint makes it look naturally fresh.

How it works:
As per the claims, it is a perfect summer body lotion. This lotion is very light, mild and gentle on the skin. Soon after I applied this lotion over my skin, I felt that calming chilliness; which means you can use this after every bath and even after returning home in a sunny day. After a long sunny day, if you use this lotion over your skin, this is definitely going to sooth your skin and help with curing the burns if any. The fresh fragrance lasts for 1 hour or so and then disappears which I don’t mind.
    The lotion gets absorbed by the skin in a jiffy and leaves no greasiness or caste behind. My skin has instantly become soft, moisturized and smooth soon after the application.  If it is a hard sunny day, I just apply this lotion all over my body in the morning after bath and this feels just perfect throughout the day. I do not need to reapply in between as it keeps my skin moisturized (I am not sure; if your skin is a tad dry, this would keep dryness at bay but not sure about the moisturization). On monsoons and somewhat colder days, I reapplied this twice to thrice to balance my skin’s moisturize. Our skin usually needs some heavy body moisturizers on winters and hence I need to skip (Or continuously reapply) this one, when it is extra cold. As this is a summer body lotion, that can never be taken as a con tough. If you have extra oily, oily, normal-oily or sensitive skin type, get one and try for sure; You are going to love it! Are you dry skinned? No problem; Get one at least for its fresh fragrance and you will like it too. I am impressed of this product from Parachute very much!

Pros

• Curvy, feminine and attractive packaging.
• Easy to use &  hygienic flip type cap.
• Light texture of the lotion which spreads onto the skin easily
• The very fresh fragrance of coconut milk extracts and mint!
• Cooling on the skin soon after application. This makes it the perfect after sun body lotion.
• Makes skin soft, supple and smooth to touch.
• Not greasy or oily on the skin. It is just light and mild.
• Suitable for all skin types except the extra dry ones.
• Can also be used on sensitive skin types as it is very mild.
• In hot summers, one time application in the morning is enough for oil skin types
• Attractive price tag! You get really a lot of ml for a very cheaper price
• Available in different sizes. The smallest one will fit for traveling the best.
• Easily available everywhere!

Cons

• I have no big con list for this product with this worth for a very cheaper cost but just something mentioning here.This will not be your pick if you are eying out for a thick, luxury, extra moisturizing body lotion for your dry skin. 
• This behaves very good to your skin in summers (In terms of moisturization) but at the same time, this lotions disappears within an hour from your skin on colder days. So that you need to reapply often throughout the day if it is winter. 
• And also, it contains PARABENS! Stay away if your skin is allergic to parabens

My Rating: 4/5

Recommendation:
Overall, this is a perfect summer body lotion for everyone in your family, from children to elders as per mentioned on the pack. Did you check how economical the price tag is? Go grab one fast!

Would I Repurchase?:
No, no this year. I have already got two big 250 bottles :) But I am definitely getting this for next summer.
