Expensive lotion

[minDyG]

Haha, I love random.

I would tend to agree that inexpensive lotion works just as well as expensive lotion. The only reason I would ever spend big money on lotion would be if it were scented like my perfume, because sometimes scented lotions can really clash with perfumes. But usually I will just use something that smells sort of neutral, like Nivea or Jergens. I like to switch it up a lot, and I'll buy different lotions for different "moods" (I'm pretty high-maintenance product-wise); i.e. the hair minimizing kind and the "hint of self-tanner" kind. Two of my favorites are the Skintimate after-shave lotion (which is actually more like a gel and still requires an additional moisturizer but it's GREAT if you have problems with razor burn which I do) and Palmer's Skin-Tightening lotion for after pregnancy and/or weight loss (I have an 8-month-old). Hope this helps?

I'm obsessed with Vaseline intensive care. It's the best, its cheap and you can use it in the winter and the summer. If you want to add scent to it, you can put a drop of essential oil in it. I have lotions made from perfumes... and honestly... they suck in terms of how lotions go but I guess that really isn't the point.
I like aveeno too and i think Jergan's has this natural kind, I like the body cream from B & B too though.

in terms of on my face though, I LOVE neutrogena's SPF 15 oil free moisturizer... i like the tinted kind, but its getting harder to find it with all the selftanner types out there....

I'm not sure what is meant by "expensive lotion". To me, bath & body works is expensive, but I'm willing to pay the exta for the body cream. (I <3 cotton blossom!) I used to use cheap lotion, but it always made my legs really sticky and uncomfortable--which was especially bad because I shower at night. I find that the B&B body cream really absorbs into my skin and doesn't just hang out on the top layer.

And fyi-B&B was having a huge sale this weekend! I got a $10.50 thing of body cream for $3!!!!!!!!!!

Hey I work at Bath and Body- so you know they're discontinuing cotton blossom, but they're bringing out a new cotton sent called sea island cotton (or something along those lines) it should be hitting the shelves soon, I personally like it better that cotton blossom! but they've really only made slight changes to the scent, nothing too noticeable.

I like Burt's Bees as well (all except the lip balm which breaks me out and burns my lips). I like the cuticle cream-works very well.

I use J& J Baby Lotion all the time. The light care lotion is really nice for summer. I have some B&BW and a Benefit lotion but I use those sparingly. As far as the expensive stuf, like kheils or origins, I save that for bath/shower products not lotions.

I think the "new" Vaseline Cocoa Butter is the best thing on the market. It is perfect for dry skin and lasts all day.

The only time I will buy expensive lotion is with a prescription for eczema and in that case, it is definitely better.

B&BW's Tahiti, Sweetie lotion is by far the only lotion that hasn't made my legs break out into any weird rashes. It smells great, too. It's (I think) around $15, which is WAY more than I want to pay for lotion, but I guess it's worth it for not breaking out all the time.
