Quick Answer
The Blood Oranges Hand & Body Lotion from Shay & Blue is a citrus-scented moisturizer that combines refreshing orange notes with rich, skin-softening ingredients.
What Makes This Lotion Different
This lotion stands out because it pairs a bright, zesty Blood Oranges scent with a formula built around sweet almond oil, sunflower oil, and cocoa butter. These ingredients work together to provide intense hydration while leaving a silky, non-greasy finish. The addition of shea butter and aloe vera helps soothe and rejuvenate, making it suitable for daily use on hands and body.
Scent Profile and Longevity
The scent is inspired by Blood Oranges, offering a refreshingly zesty citrus aroma that feels invigorating. Unlike some citrus lotions that fade quickly, this one is designed to linger, especially when layered with matching fragrance. However, because it's a lotion rather than a perfume, the scent intensity is moderate and may need reapplication or layering for a longer-lasting effect.
Frequently Asked Questions
How should I use this lotion for best results?
Apply generously to clean, dry skin, focusing on drier areas like elbows, knees, and hands. Massage gently until fully absorbed. For optimal hydration, use after showering while skin is still slightly damp.
Can I layer it with perfume?
Yes. Apply the lotion first, then spritz your fragrance on top. The lotion's citrus notes can complement and help anchor the scent, extending its wear. Allow the lotion to absorb for a minute before applying perfume to avoid mixing too quickly.
Is this lotion suitable for sensitive skin?
The formula includes soothing aloe vera and shea butter, which are gentle on skin. However, if you have citrus allergies or very sensitive skin, do a patch test first to ensure compatibility. Patch test on a small area if you have known sensitivities.
How often should I apply it?
For daily hydration, apply once in the morning and once before bed. Increase frequency in dry climates or during winter when skin needs extra moisture.
Does it leave a greasy residue?
No. The formula includes emulsifiers and dimethicone, which give it a silky texture that absorbs quickly without a heavy or greasy feel. You can dress immediately after application.
