Moisture needs 1- Body

Creams./Lotions/Oils.

In these cold times we need hydrate and moisturise our skin.
These are reviews of a few products that i have used in the past and some which have been raved online.

Vaseline Lotions.
        Vaseline, one very famous company for moistures, gels and petroleum jelly. Most of us think petroleum jelly  vaseline :P. It is a company :p. Anyway, i find vaseline lotions are perfect really. Not to moisturising and not less. They come in different scents and types. Each type comes with own special smell and own special moisturing quality. I ve come accross the aloe vera one and the oats one. Both, i feel are fantastic in their own way .
Aloevera : it gives very cool sensation , moisturises , not sticky, great for summer.
Oats:        smells good, leaves had soft and locks in moisture well.
     I would recommend vaseline to a personal with normal to dry skin. I think people with supper dry skin could go for something more moisturising.


Palmers.-Cocao Butter.




 Palmers i feel is one of my favourite body lotions. It smells great and feels great . This is one of the most creams for you. According to me it suits all skin types .It comes in pretty big bottle with a pump. Which according to me is very hygienic . But because i live a cold country i did feel after some time the pump did not pump the cream as easily, if that makes any sense.  It got like frozen or something in the pump. So i had to open the bottle every time i needed to use it, which was really annoying. But yet i totally recommend this for really super dry skin (winter skin).

Nivea.
  
  Nivea lotions are also very used and available like Vaseline. But in my opinion i dont think they are that great. I am not a fan of the smell. But the moisture and shine they give are obviously good but i do believe one could have a better lotion than the nivea one . But obviously this is personal choice. But i do feel it locks in moisture well. So give it go  if you like.

These are just a bunch of lotions that i have tried but i have also heard alot about the bio-oil online of you tube I have heard that it is very good for winter skin problems. So if you are having major dry skin do give it a go and let me know. Here is a  picture :


It is also recommended for scars, ageing, stretch marks uneven skin tone and dehydrated skin.

 This is it for now. I will writing about lip balms as well, for chapped lips in the winter.
Thank you for reading.
