Showers & creams 2014. Much effort, little income.

Earlier Personal Care was easy. Showers dry, apply cream, put - ready. Nivea invents this new sequence and lets me creams inside the shower cubicle. Then rinse again and men and women are, in theory, as spick and span. Super.

In practice, I believe the innovative new development is limited. Maybe I have the bad habit to put alleged innovations in question. But the system has quirks. Proven and perhaps some imaginary weaknesses, but definitely drawbacks.

1. Higher price. Compared to conventional body lotion (even from Nivea).
2. Higher cream consumption. The stuff roars in the shower just so over wet skin.
3. Increased water consumption. In a second round of "Let the water flow" inevitable.
4. The feeling. Unusually, though not unpleasant. But pulling the shower lotion a really? Or I wash 50% of laboriously applied cream that at once?
5. The expiry. Normal showers. Water. Freezing and shivering. Apply lotion. Feeding can. Abdu. Greasy ground. This is progress?
6. The body sensation. The shower body lotion reaches me not identical, soft & moist efficiency as "real" body lotion.
7. The residues. No residues in the towel? Either I take not enough time, or the advertising lies. Just use a dark towel and rub off clean, surprised the result. At least the area around the drain and the edges of the shower talk to daily dosing of two people for themselves.
8. The time taken. My morning ritual in the bathroom has not changed, only the process. Fast I'm not. Seeking the synergy effect so far in vain.

Additional info: The lotion is - according to the manufacturer's instructions - free of artificial dyes and silicones, this biodegradable.. And me are currently three "flavors" known. Two variants seem designed for dry skin (body milk with almond oil & Body Milk with cocoa butter), the other branch for normal skin with addition of sea minerals. My wife shall give priority to the Almond oil bottle and has not nearly exposing as much of the new development, as I do. That should at this point mention might and lets me access to three stars in the overall assessment ultimately neutral. Either way - I'm not convinced.
