I had a reader ask me about lighter body lotions for the summer after reading my post the other day about lighter/gel-based face moisturizers. Body lotions can be as heavy and sticky in this humidity as facial ones. I hate the feeling that I put lotion on and it stays on top of my skin all day. I just feel tacky and gross. Ugh.
I have 2 budget friendly recommendations. And I love them both equally. First, Curel's line of Moisture Lotions work wonderfully and are almost a hybrid lotion/gel. I personally use the Intensive version because Too's knees and elbows can get DRY, girl! It is a wonderfully light lotion that sinks in quickly with NO tackiness whatsoever.
My other recommendation is for Vaseline's Aloe Fresh line, particularly their Moisturizing Aloe Gel. I was concerned that a gel couldn't possibly be truly moisturizing. Boy, was I wrong! After smoothing this all over and letting it really soak it, my skin literally felt like silk. It was unbelievable. And I would certainly put this stuff in the fridge like I recommended for the face moisturizers for a zingy pick me up. I bet it would feel great after a long hot summer day to put this stuff chilled on your feet.
Be sure to go online before you buy either of these to look for coupons to print out. It's always nice to save a little money when trying something new!!
I just bought some of the Vasoline Aloe Moisturizing Gel to take on our trip to the beach. I can't wait to use it.....I can imagine just how refreshing it will feel after a day spent in the sun!
