Vaseline for feet awesome. i love Nivea always have. Pond’s was my Granny’s staple she had no wrinkles.

Parabens are in everything and really are unnecessary, so that wipes out mostly all of the mainstream brands for me. A lot brands like Aveda and the Body Shop are starting to phase out products with parabens and are being banned in Europe and Japan.

But, Vaseline is the only thing I can use for my lips. No lip balm works (and I’ve tried them all) better than good ole’ Vaseline.

I have been struggling with dry skin since I got back in the states about a year ago, and I was wondering why. This article age me my “Aha!” moment. Thanks. I love the Johnson’s baby oil gel. I usually would put it on underneath my favorite lotion to give that extra shine. I’m so excited. im picking this up today! Thanks again!

I know the Aunts use both also. These are great products with a reputation for high quality and high performance.

Just FYI, most of the Nivea jars/tins are made in Mexico – so, if you come across a batch from Germany, buy all of them! :)

Seriously after trying every lotion, potion & body butter on the planet I keep coming back to the only 2 things that keep me from being and ashy, itchy mess; vaseline and Johnson’s baby oil (gel). I buy the cocoa butter formula of both products. I especially love the scent of the baby oil gel.
