I cannot begin to tell you how crazy things can get in the morning when my family is getting ready for work and school. We have only one bathroom. Most of the time we can work things out amicably but there are times when we all need the bathroom at the same time.
I tend to be the one who gets the least amount of time in the bathroom. Thankfully I leave about a half hour after my husband leaves for work and our daughter leaves for school (our son leaves really early in the morning for school).
Everyone takes their shower in the evening except me. I take mine in the morning in between when everyone needs to use the bathroom. I do this because I don’t like going to bed with wet or damp hair (I get major “bed head”). I also need the shower to help wake me up in the morning.
I need to get in and out of the shower in less than 10 minutes to allow for everyone to have ample time in the bathroom. That doesn’t give me much time to shower, wash and condition my hair, dry off, apply lotion, waiting for it to dry and get dressed.
NIVEA has a new product that just launched this year that can help make hydrating your skin quick and easy. It’s called NIVEA In-Shower Body Lotion. You apply this lotion IN THE SHOWER.
My first thought was that this is just silly. If you apply lotion in the shower the water is only going to wash it off, so what is the point of it?
This product is made to be rinsed off.
NIVEA In-Shower Body Lotion is super simple to use. Simply wash your body like you normally would and rinse off. Then apply the NIVEA In-Shower Body Lotion then rinse it off. You are left with silky smooth and hydrated skin.
Why did NIVEA come up with this revolutionary product? According to NIVEA;
We recently conducted a survey of 1,000 Americans, and we found out the obvious – mornings are busy! Even further, people end up doing a number of things at once to shorten up their routine, with more than one-third of respondents admitting to brushing their teeth, doing their hair, or even getting dressed en route to, or at, the office…! A big reveal, though, was that nearly two-thirds (63%) of Americans do between two and five things at once while in the shower (30% are shower singers, 21% are shower phone-checkers, and 20% are even shower teeth-brushers.) NIVEA is helping women relieve the morning time crunch without sacrificing their beauty routines, with a secret called “Showertasking”! With the new NIVEA In-Shower Body Lotion, you can save precious minutes in the morning by applying lotion directly in the shower – just wash, apply, rinse and towel off. The product moisturizes skin instantly with no sticky feel or waiting for the lotion to dry, leaving skin feeling soft, smooth, and moisturized for 24hrs+.
NIVEA came up with an infographic to provide you with more of their interesting finding. I was unable to fit the entire thing in the post. I’ve included a snippet and a link to the full infographic in case you are interested in seeing the whole thing. Simply click on the text link below the image.
NIVEA’s new In Shower Lotion is available in three unique patent pending formulas. Each absorbs into your wet skin in seconds and will provide you with 24 hours of moisturization.
The available products include;
- Hydrating In-Shower Body Lotion with Sea Minerals to moisturize normal to dry skin
- Smoothing In-Shower Body Lotion with Shea Butter to help smooth dry skin
- Nourishing In-Shower Body Lotion with Almond Oil to nourish very dry skin
I was sent to review the Nourishing In-Shower Body Lotion with Almond Oil in shower lotion to try out. If you follow me on Vine (I have a new account – only a few videos so far) you might have seen the video I made of the cool packaging the lotion came in. You can see it HERE. It’s really cool. The box looked like a shower (complete with a real wash cloth) and when you opened it up it had a sound file that made it sound like a real shower with water going down the drain. It’s pretty cool. Kudos to NIVEA for a fun packaging idea.
I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical about a lotion you apply and wash off in the shower leaving your skin feeling moisturized. I am pleasantly surprised that the product does work as described. I simply apply it where I need it (my legs, arms, stomach…) then rinse it off. It leaves your skin soft – not sticky or dry.
Using this product also saves me time in the bathroom. I no longer need to dry myself off, apply lotion, wait for it to dry and then get dressed. I can just hop out of the shower, dry off and get dressed. It might not save me a ton of time, but ANY amount of time saved is a great thing as far as I’m concerned. I hate feeling rushed in the morning. The more shortcuts the better.
NIVEA In-Shower Body Lotions will be available at all food, drug and mass merchandisers nationwide and select online retailers starting January 2015. For further information on NIVEA In-Shower Body Lotions other NIVEA products, visit www.NIVEAusa.com.
