Pharmacy Find: NIVEA Touch of Happiness Body Lotion

There are body lotions out there for just about every type of dilemma: Dry skin? Sorted. Feeling pasty? Try this. Hate that greasy feeling? We've got a lightweight one. Feeling podgy? This firming one will do the trick. But what about a body lotion that makes you FEEL good?

No, it doesn't come with a genie to grant your every wish, but at just $6.25, NIVEA's newest release, Touch of Happiness Body Lotion, promises that if your skin feels good, you'll feel good. And when you feel good, you're happy, right? Right.

So how exactly does it set you on the path to happiness? Well again, it's all about taking the stress out of your daily life. It features bamboo extract and milk protein which help strengthen the skin’s protective function so handling daily aggressors and stressors becomes a cinch. For me though, the main feel-good factor is its top, middle and base fragrance notes (orange flower, peach and vanilla, to name but a few). They make it feel and smell like a luxe body lotion, without the exxy price tag. So even if you don't buy into the whole feel-good vibe, you've got to be happy that you only need to spend $6 on beautifully fragranced skin, no?
