[...] Favorite Everyday Face Moisturizer — Skin Milk Facial Moisturizer. I made fleeting yet admiring mention of the Skin Milk line in my Ash Begone post in November, but didn’t go into loving review of the face moisturizer at the time. Allow me to do that now. This stuff is amazing. My skin just drinks this stuff up! It makes my face feel soft and babied, and it smells like vanilla goodness. My one teeny complaint? It has zero SPF factor. If Skin Milk offered sunscreen, it’d be a wrap for me. There’d be no need for any other face cream. [...]

[...] Around the time of my Ash Begone post, I was contacted by the owners of Shea Radiance. I was already ready to love this stuff — it’s the kind of business I love supporting best — small, family owned (awwww! Those kids are beautiful!), and seriously into quality products. Shea Radiance makes 100% natural unrefined shea butter products. They make specialty products for eczema and other skin ailments, also soaps, body oils, nurturing products for moms and babies, and lotion bars. I was fortunate enough to try the whipped body butter, and I was totally impressed. This stuff is dreamy, creamy, whipped to perfection. And it smells DIVINE! I tried the jasmine and coconut, and ooh wee, y’all. They melt into my skin and make me smell heavenly. Two thumbs up for Shea Radiance! You get an 8 oz jar for $18.96 which is a bit pricey, but consider this — you’re paying for a high quality all-natural product, and supporting a small business owner. Shea Radiance is currently offering free shipping on orders over $50, and for bellas on a budget, they are featuring gifts under $20. [...]

I love Yes To Carrots — the Body Butter is great for cold weather dryness. It leaves your skin so soft and replenishes and hydrates your skin. Its made with mud from the Dead Sea. I saw at Walgreens they have a couple of really reasonable gift sets — and the Body Butter is included along with some other cool stuff.

At night I use baby oil in the shower while iâ€™m still wet and pat myself dry (less greasy that way). If i take a shower in the morning iâ€™ll put lotion on along with the baby oil.

^^^^^^^^
I use to do that in high school I thought I was the only one. I am going to try that trick again because it really do work it, make your skin less dry.

Bebroma, The L’Occitane shea butter hand cream is the best, IMO.
