Product Review: Olay Ultra Moisture Body Wash with Shea Butter

Harsh weather can damage skin, but with the benefits of Olay Ultra Moisture Body Wash with Shea Butter, even the driest skin can receive ultimate nourishment. Enriched with vitamins E, A and B3, this soap-free body wash rinses clean from the skin without leaving a heavy buildup.

I first began using Olay Body Wash when it was received as a gift from my grandmother almost 16 years ago. I immediately fell in love with how clean I felt after using it, without the heavy sticky buildup that comes along with soap-based products. After just a few weeks of use, I could already tell a difference in the way my skin felt, and there was never a chance of my going back to regular "soap" again.

In the years since the initial line of body wash, Olay has expanded their line of products to include a variety of skin types. After several trials of different product lines, I became most impressed with the effects of Olay Ultra Moisture Body Wash with Shea Butter. Not only did it provide additional benefits for extra dry skin, but it's also enhanced with a soft fragrance that doesn't overpower, leaving you smelling "clean" not "covered". The softer fragrance is also a benefit in not overpowering your regular perfumes, which can sometimes be a problem with other body wash brands.

As well as normal washing, where only a small amount needs to be applied to a sponge or loofa for full body coverage, the product can also be used as a shaving aid when applied directly to the skin. With its ultimate moisture protection, it provides as an excellent alternative to shaving methods which can leave your legs feeling dry and cracked.

A 12 oz. bottle of Olay Ultra Moisture Body Wash with Shea Butter retails for around $4.99 and is worth every single penny. Not only do you need to use a small amount of the product, thus increasing its longevity, but the long-term effects of the moisture rich formula make it an extreme value.

Olay Ultra Moisture Body Wash with Shea Butter can be purchased at many online retailers, including CVS.com and drugstore.com. It's also available at your local discount or drug store.
