Review: The Face Shop Botanic Lemon Verbena Body Lotion

If sunshine had a scent, this would be it. 🌞

Light, bright, and citrusy — The Face Shop’s Botanic Lemon Verbena Lotion brings an instant mood lift without overwhelming the senses. The scent reminds me of Clinique Happy — cheerful, not clingy.

💛 What I love:

• Absorbs quickly: No sticky feeling even in the heat of summer
• Perfect for everyday use: Hydrating but never greasy
• Family-safe: Even my son, who has eczema-prone skin, uses it on his arms and legs with great results
• Skin-friendly: His eczema wounds have healed and haven't flared up since using this

💡 Caution:

If you're very sensitive to scents or have eczema, always do a patch test first:
Apply a small amount to the inside of your elbow, wait 15 minutes, and observe. If you react, wash the area immediately with soap and water. If there's no reaction, try it on a small area of skin before applying more.

📝 Final Thoughts:

This lotion carried us through the entire summer — without that icky, heavy feeling. It kept our skin moisturized and happy, and it’s now a staple in our household. Will definitely repurchase!
