Moisture Does a Body Good
I sincerely apologize for just now posting. Between the "job that pays the bills" and everything else, I've been really swamped. But I'm back and hopefully a lot more organized to bring the best post of getting your skin summer soft. Previously, I focused on body scrubs and now it's time to add the moisture. Since summer is vastly approaching I'm going to give the body butters a rest. I realize some people may not want to be greasy for the summer, but want to glow, glow, glow.
I also spritz baby oil all over after showering. I then put on a big fluffy robe to soak it all in. This locks in moisture and will make your skin super soft, supple, and glowing. After that I apply lotion and voila, moisturized skin.
Nivea Essentially Enriched Lotion. I have been using this lotion since I was a child. It's still holds up. If it's too heavy for your body, they have the lighter conditioning oil which is wonderful too.
Kiehl's Creme de Corps Light Weight Body Lotion. I love the heavy one in the winter time, but in the summer, you want to rub and run. This is such a luxurious lotion and a little goes a long way. There is not an overpowering scent, so you can spritz your favorite perfume and go.
Burt's Bees Naturally Nurturing Milk & Honey Body Lotion. Burt's Bees is an all natural bath and body line that has more products than just this lotion. But since I'm listing moisture products I couldn't without this lotion. I picked it up on a trip to Whole Foods and I was glad that I did. Since I go through lotion as quick as a glass of water, I'm currently rotating different products. This is always in the beauty rotation.
Bobbi Brown Beach Body Lotion. I have a deep love for Bobbi's makeup. When she created the scent years ago, I was immediately hooked. Not only is it moisturizing, but it has such a light and fragrant scent that you don't need to add perfume. I call it my "grocery shopping scent." It's light enough to wear out when you don't want to use perfume. It comes in perfume form, but trust me all you really need is the lotion.
Once you get your skin soft, then you could add a shimmer glow if skin is going to be shown. The next post will be on products that give me a "shimmer fever."

Oh yes, perfect article for Summer time, we sure don't want want to see ashy sistas all over the place! I want my feet out at all times during this fabulous weather, so I use Curel Targeted Therapy deep-penetrating foot cream. It's a night time treatment, and your feet will thank you for it!

I love the Keils Creme de Corps but its' very expensive ($40+ a bottle) and I've found that if I use baby oil immediatly out of the shower and a nice yet inexpensive moisturizer it does a very fine job. Lisa

After showering I HAVE to put on Palmer’s Cocoa Butter. I love the way it makes my skin feel and I never have to worry about getting dry throughout the day. I use it on every inch of my body from my face to my feet! I know it’s a product I'll use it forever!
