Jergens Ultra Healing Lotion

Because you don't have to be fancy all the time.

This lotion has been a staple of mine for a billion years and I dare say it's my favorite moisturizer of all time. Nothing crazy here, just plain white lotion with a pleasant scent that will keep your skin soft and smooth all day long. Unlike other products, with Jergens you don't have to worry about using too much or too little; it doesn't take much to get great results, but if you do go overboard, it rubs in extremely well, without the lingering greasiness.

If you have even slightly dry skin, try this now. Sometimes the best products are the ones you can find cheaply at almost any store-- Jergens Ultra Healing Lotion is a prime example.

Burt's Bees Carrot Nutritive Body Lotion

The store I work for recently started carrying Burt's Bees products, much to my delight. The very first item I tried was this, the Healthy Healing Carrot Nutritive Body Lotion.

Although the lotion does smell carroty (thanks to the carrot seed oil), it's sweet and far from unpleasant. Its consistency is a little thinner than other body lotions, so take care not to squeeze too much into your hand, cuz a little goes a long way.

This product is very effective as a general hand/body lotion. It sinks into the skin nicely and doesn't leave any greasy residue, but keeps skin moisturized for awhile. And it lives up to the "Healing" part of its name. Thanks to some particularly harsh winter temperatures/weather, I had developed some extremely dry patches on skin on my back and sides that wouldn't go away. After applying the Carrot Nutritive Body Lotion once a day for several days, they completely cleared up and haven't been a problem since.

Interesting scent and very effective. I highly recommend this product. ^__^
