I can’t stand the cold! Winter weather is dreadful to me, from the cold temperatures to the gloomy and wet days, sometimes it’s hard to motivate myself to get out of bed and get the day started. Now my skin, is another issue. Every winter, my skin is extremely dry and sensitive so I have to add extra attention to my skincare routine. I make sure I exfoliate weekly, use my body oils and eat healthy meals that will support what I apply topically. In addition to the latter, in recent years during the winter months, I usually switch my body moisturizer to Kiehl’s whipped body Butter. It does wonders for my skin and I figured I share it with anyone whose body may need some extra TLC this dry /winter season.

HOW LONG DID I TEST THE PRODUCT?
2014 – January 2017
FRAGRANCE
It smells like an orange smoothie with a hint of grapefruit. I have to be honest, I prefer the soy milk and honey fragrance. This scent can get a little boring after a couple weeks but what makes me feel better is the social cause purchasing a limited-edition benefit. When you purchase a limited-edition body Butter it helps secure 340 meals for feeding America.
100% of net profits from the sale of the Grapefruit Creme De Corps Whipped Body Butter Benefits Feeding America, up to $100,000. $1 helps provide 11 meals secured by Feeding America on behalf of local member food banks.
SKIN TYPE
Dry skin, Normal Skin and sensitive skin. I would not recommend this for people with body acne.
PACKAGING
It comes in a normal screw top plastic jar. The limited edition sometimes come with cool limited edition designs on the jar. This is too bulky to put in a travel toiletries bag but there is also the pump bottle option so everyone is happy.
REPURCHASE:
Yes, I would and I have
