A body mousse is a lotion with the weight taken out. It whips up airy, spreads over a larger area than a cream does, and sinks in fast enough that you can get dressed straight after.

That is the appeal of this 200 ml Nivea version. It delivers a proper hit of moisture, but there is no heavy residue and none of the sticky film slower-absorbing creams leave behind. Dry or dull skin comes out soft and smooth, and the hydration holds through the day rather than fading by mid-morning.

It is a body product rather than a face one, and it spreads far enough that arms, legs and shoulders after a shower take a couple of minutes rather than ten.

Best if you have been avoiding body lotion because of how long it takes to absorb. This solves that particular problem and not much else, which is fine.

Application tips

Work fast, because a mousse deflates as soon as you start rubbing it in. A golf-ball-sized amount is about right for one leg.

Take it on straight after a shower while the skin is still slightly damp, which is when it spreads furthest and sinks in quickest. You can dress within a minute, so it fits a morning that is already running late.

Results

Skin feels hydrated straight away and stays that way through the day rather than needing a top-up by lunchtime.

The texture does the selling here: airy going on, gone in seconds, nothing left behind to mark a jumper. Dry, dull patches look smoother. No greasy film and no sticky arms, which is what usually stops people using a body cream at all.
