The Yves Saint Laurent Opium Body Moisturiser is designed to deliver both skin benefits and a lasting fragrance experience. Upon application, the rich texture glides smoothly over the skin, absorbing effectively without leaving a greasy residue. The primary goal is to provide deep, lasting hydration, which it achieves, making skin feel noticeably softer and more supple throughout the day.
The standout feature is undoubtedly the iconic Opium scent. Due to its high perfume concentration, the fragrance is quite potent and long-lasting, often perceptible for several hours after application. This makes it an excellent choice for users who want their moisturizer to double as a subtle, all-day fragrance, or as a base for layering with the corresponding Opium Eau de Parfum or Eau de Toilette for an enhanced and prolonged scent trail.
Real-world application: For optimal results, apply the moisturizer after showering or bathing when your skin is still slightly damp. This helps to lock in moisture. Focus on areas prone to dryness, such as elbows, knees, and shins. The luxurious texture and scent transform a simple skincare step into a pampering ritual. Users can expect improved skin texture, reduced dryness, and a continuous, sophisticated aroma.
Preparation: Ensure skin is clean and dry or slightly damp, ideally after a shower or bath.
Dispense: Squeeze a small amount of moisturizer into your palm.
Apply: Gently massage the lotion into your skin using circular motions until fully absorbed. Pay extra attention to dry areas like elbows and knees.
Less is More: Start with a small amount; a little goes a long way, especially given the richness and fragrance intensity.
Skin Types: Generally suitable for most skin types, particularly those needing deep hydration. However, due to the high fragrance concentration, individuals with highly sensitive or allergy-prone skin should perform a patch test.
Layering: This body moisturizer is perfectly compatible with other products from the Yves Saint Laurent Opium range, such as the Eau de Parfum or Eau de Toilette, to enhance and prolong the fragrance experience.
Storage: Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its efficacy and fragrance integrity.
Patch Test: Before first full application, apply a small amount to an inconspicuous area of skin (e.g., inner forearm) and wait 24 hours to check for any adverse reactions.
Hygiene: Keep the lid tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination and drying out of the product.
