Vaseline is excellent for your face. rub it into your face then wring out a facecloth in very hot water and lay it over your face then wipe.

Can anyone please tell me how to use the TNT Pure Cocoa Butter bar?

I use Perfective Ceuticals Divine Age Guardian Creme. I had originally bought it for my mom’s rosacea but i am using it too now. All i can say is wow! my mom’s skin got better immediately, and my skin felt honestly like a baby’s butt! Perfective Ceuticals says its moisturizer is made with nano particles so it sinks deeper, i am not sure of the biology, but it made a big difference in my skin.

[...] My mother-in-law has a green thumb, and she takes tremendous pride in her garden. She’s also a chef par excellence, and loves doing at-home projects. Schnitting, anyone? Needless to say, she’s a hands-on mom who is not a manicure kind of lady. To keep her hands touchably soft and to giggle at her “what the heck” reaction, I’d give her Gloves in a Bottle. It’sÂ made by the same company that makes my beloved Skin MD, so Gloves in a Bottle is a shielding lotion that works like an invisible pair of gloves to protect the deeper layers of skin. She’ll still need to wear her gardening gloves, but this stuff will keep her hands silky soft after she’s been using them all day. At $12.95 a bottle, that isn’t a bad deal. [...]

P- I LOVE LOVE LOVE Baby Magic! My mom used it on us when we were babies and I’ve been using it ever since. I thought I was the only adult in love with it. The gentle baby scent is divine

We’ve been having some severe cold weather here in California lately which is very unusual for us. I love The Body shop’s body butters and oil sprays. They keep my skin nice and soft. Of course, some good ol’ vaseline for my feet because those suckers can get pretty dry. I’ve already slipped down my steps three times. I use a hydrating B5 gel by Skinceutical under my moisturizer. It contains hyaluronic acid that helps the skin to retain water. In other words, it adds a boost or enhances your moisturizer.

I live in Toronto, Canada- way up north so moisturizing is everything year round for me. I just started using pure shea butter while I was in Barbados because it was the only thing that the mosquitos wouldn’t attack. I also use these pure cocoa butter bars that a friend brought back from TnT- they’ve really changed my skin. I alternate between the cocoa butter and shea and I use them on my face and body. Coppertone SPF 30 or any oil-free sunscreen in the summer or in warmer climates. Palmers Cocoa butter is my ish 4eva.

lately I have been using Palmer’s Shea Butter formula to beat the cold down here in the ATL…also I found some great white gardenia body butter from Wal-Mart…nice and thick with a soft smell. Both of these keep the skin soft and moisturized all day

I love the 100% pure line found at Bath and Bodyworks. All of the prodeucts featured in the line are vegan. Superingly, the lotions are very thick, and my favorite scent is the strawberry lemonade

I think the key to moisturized skin is also watching how you cleanse it–too hot showers/baths and harsh, irritating soaps and washes can leave your skin ashy and upset.
When washing my bod in the shower, I use Dove Cool Moisture or Olay with Shea Butter body washes. They are lightly scented (so they don’t interfere with whatever other scent I might put on and my man can use them too without smelling like flowers) and, especially when I use the Olay with Shea Butter, I don’t really need a body lotion afterward. You just need a dab on a wet shower pouf and it lathers up very nicely.

I use Aveeno Positively Radiant lotion for the summer time and for special evening occassions because it gives your skin a subtle,lovely golden-bronze shimmer-wear a short skirt or flirty dress and you feel like a golden goddess!
I also use the same line for my face, but use an Ambi Moisturizer with SPF 15–paying special attention to the area around my nose, which gets so dry in winter. I also dab some Vitamin E eye cream on at night.

In the fall and winter, I use good ol’ $2.99 Africa’s Best Hair, Skin & Scalp Oil straight from Walgreen’s on my bod. It is light, I love the smell, and it is chock full of good, natural oils and extracts.
