Alba Botanica Very Emollient Body Lotion, Daily Shade Formula, SPF 16
I have started to incorporate more SPF protection into my daily grooming regime. From my eyes to the body and it was so that I went out in search of a daily body moisturizer with SPF and I hit jackpot when I found this. 

This daily body lotion is chocked full of natural organic botanics - Chamomile, Green Tea, Rose Hips, Echinacea to soothe, moisturize and repair. And that's not what got me excited. This also contains AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) for gently daily exfoliation. I am a firm believer in fruit acids and regular exfoliation and this just takes the cake - AHAs and SPF! 

It's like getting more than you hope to get - but in a very good way. The floral scent smells like it should; not too cloying or overwhelming. The lotion absorbs into your skin quickly and with daily use, my skin was healthier, softer, smoother and more even-toned. 

This is one I will be stocking up on and it's not everyday that I find something so affordable and effective. Definitely my new daily staple.

Kiss My Face Peaches & Cream Alpha Hydroxy Moisturizer I first discovered Kiss My Face products years ago at Trader Joe's and I quickly became hooked on their Peaches and Creme range. These products smell like the real deal and they are so affordable. They work too, of course. 

This Alpha Hydroxy Acid moisturizer will gently exfoliate your skin, improving the quality of dry skin, improving skin tone, texture and reducing discoloration and age spots. They are against animal testing and are free of artificial colors and unnecessary chemicals so I always feel good when I use their products.

I use this on my body and it's quite tough to find body moisturizers that contain AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) so this is definitely one of my staples. It looks clumpy when applied because of its texture but it absorbs into your skin within a minute so it's not something I give much thought to. 

Fresh Mangosteen Body Lotion

I am fan of the mangosteen fruit, it is chock full on antioxidants and vitamins and it tastes great! For a year round goodness of the exotic seasonal fruit, I turn to this body lotion from Fresh. The first thing that hits you in the lasting mangosteen scent. It is light, fruity and refreshing. Not too heavy or cloying.

The milky texture glides on and is easily absorbed. With antioxidant Vitamin E and mangosteen extract that protects and nourishes your skin, Vitamin C-rich pomegranate extract, softening camellia seed oil, my staple restorative shea butter and white and blue lotus extracts that soothe the skin; this is one lotion that is as good as the real thing!

Jergens Shea Butter MoisturizerI ran out of moisturizer a few weeks ago and I picked this up at the drug store. It was cheap, contained Shea Butter (a great natural ingredient) and came in a handy pump bottle so I just grabbed it without giving much thought.

The smell is the first thing you notice; it's got a light nutty scent. Neither too cloying nor over powering. It lingers too because the tee shirts I wear to sleep smelled quite nice the next day.

This moisturizer glides on easily and skin is left smoother and softer after just a few days of usage. It stays on your skin to provide 24 hour hydration which is always a good thing. With some products that make the same claim, I often wonder how true it all is. I slap this on in the morning and when I shower off the grime at the end of the day, I feel this smooth film rinsing away with the water. So it's good to know that this product does what it says.

With a blend of pure African Shea Butter, Mango and Cocoa extracts and nutrients that help seal in essential moisture and repair dry skin, I can feel the difference in the texture of my skin. It also leaves a light, healthy sheen that I am sure most everyone would appreciate.

According to the Jergens website, keeping skin moisturized is the best way to prevent stretch marks associated with pregnancy. Shea Butter helps to soften the appearance of stretch marks and scarring but also helps refine skin texture for a more even skin tone! So this would be a good gift for friends or family who are expecting.

And the price is so great! It's so affordable so you don't have to feel the pinch whenever you stock up on this. Hence, this is my steal product of the week. Get this Jergens Shea Butter Skin Enriching Moisturizer (16.8 oz/496ml) for US$7.49 at Drugstore.com.

Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Butter Deep Conditioning Body Lotion
I don't have the greatest skin and I sleep with the AC on most every night of the year so moisturizing is a must for me. I shudder to think of the state of my skin if I didn't moisturize it daily.

It so happened I ran out of night body moisturizer (I use a separate one for the day; a lighter one with UV protection). I need something rich and moisturizing enough to combat the drying effects of the constant hours spent in an air-conditioned room. I saw this at the store and grabbed a bottle.

Cocoa butter is one of the best friends your skin can have. And this lotion from Vaseline contains that and glycerin to lock and seal in moisture. My skin felt smoother and softer with a healthy glow that didn't go unnoticed. I like how it's rich but not greasy and how it absorbs quickly into my skin.

The light smell of the cocoa butter is pleasant and of course, there are many other cocoa butter lotions that smell better or stronger but for the great price and the good looking skin I got from using this, I'm not about to complain.

Jergens Shea Butter CreamShea butter is one of my favorite moisturizers. Not only is it natural, it also softens and soothes while providing skin with antioxidant protection.

This rich skin cream from Jergens with its high concentration of pure African shea butter not only hydrates, it also heals and protects skin from future environmental aggressions.

I took a few tubes of this with me to Bali and after daily sun worshiping, my skin was treated to this luxurious body cream that absorbed easily despite its heavy content. I am a fan of its delicious scent, part cocoa, part mango; it smells great and is a fantastic companion to an end of a heavy day.

With vital vitamins and nutrients, this body cream will restore much needed moisture and improve your skin's natural barrier.

I can't get enough of this and my only regret is not buying enough! Get this for US$6.31 (7.5oz/221ml) at Drugstore.com.

Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins™ 'The Way of the Bath™' Matcha Tea Body Lotion I love Japan, Japanese food (I can have Japanese food everyday) and Japanese products such as green tea and matcha. When this range was first released, my curiosity was piqued. There are a lot of products on the market today with claims of tea extracts and benefits and all the usual marketing ploy but really, how much of it is actually true?

I've been using this for a week now and unlike said other products - this body lotion from Origins doesn't promise anything it can't fulfill. The first thing that hits you is its strong tea scent, part matcha and part essential oils (almond, kukui nut, jojoba etc). The scent might be a tad too strong for some but give it a few minutes and a lighter undertone will reveal itself.

The next thing you realize is how rich and luxurious it is. My body was instantly moist and it stayed that way until my next shower. You can feel the film of moisture on your skin and I was engrossed with rubbing my hands together when I applied this for the first time.

With extracts of rice butter and murumuru butter that envelope skin in moisture, ginseng, kukui but, jojoba seed and sweet almond oil to invigorate your senses and calm you down after a long day. Its blend of essential oils is supposed to soothe the spirit and promote focus; I won't go so far as to say that it had any significant effect on my inner senses but I did feel lighter and more relaxed after application.

It's great for those easy, lazy nights after a long week or for a home spa session. Either way, your skin and senses will be in for a treat.

Get this for US$40 (6.7oz/200ml) at Nordstrom.

Kiehl's Creme De CorpsThis is hands down one of my favorite moisturizers. It is rich, glides on smoothly and visibly improves skin. The no-fragrant formula ensures you smell like you.

You'll feel an instant smoothing effect after the first application and with continuous use, this will reveal soft, healthy, happy skin. The light orange hint comes from natural beta-carotene that provides antioxidant protection to fight daily environmental aggressions.

Cocoa butter that melts at body temperature lubricates and softens to relief dry, dehydrated skin. I took this with me to Europe and it was a skin saver. The humid summer Tuscan weather followed by air conditioning left my skin dry and confused. This lotion took care of it.

Sesame oil gives this body lotion its silky texture and allows rapid absorption into dry skin cells. With multiple size options, you can take this anywhere.

I always get the 1 liter pump bottle every time because it is more cost-effective in the long run. So your skin and your wallet will thank you.

Get this for US$26.50 (8.4oz/250ml) at Kiehl's.

 

Dr Sebagh Firming & Hydrating Body CremeMoisture is essential for healthy, smooth and radiant skin. It is lost constantly throughout the day by external factors such as air conditioning, pollution and harsh weather conditions. A lot of people take care of the skin of their face but neglect their bodies. Since the skin is the largest living tissue, it's never too late to start paying more attention.

Restore moisture and firm up saggy bits or bits that need a little bit more attention with this rich, nourishing body cream. It slides on to hydrate your skin and it stays that way for the whole day. I especially slather this on before bed and love the feeling of waking up the next day with great, soft skin.

I know it's a bit more expensive that regular body creams but if you're in the mood for a giving your skin a treat, look no further than this!

Burt's Bees Honey & Shea Butter Body Butter

If you live in a temperate country or spend a lot of time in the sun, you'll know how uncomfortable dry skin is. It flakes and it itches. This body butter from Burt's Bees will help take care of that. The thing with most body butter is that they are usually thick and that some time to be absorbed but I was surprised at how quickly and easily this went over and under my skin. This body butter contains shea butter to nourish dry skin, mango butter to moisturize and regenerate skin cells, Aloe vera to heal and Vitamin E to soothe. It also contains a honey extract that some might be a little put-off by but it just smells like mild honey to me. The scent doesn't last; just in case you were wondering.
