Cold winter weather is here again and the Eco Women have been discussing lotions with each other and trying to find the best products for their dry, itchy skin.
Some products they’ve been trying lately:
Captain Compost uses lotions by Lemongrass Spa and Melt. Both companies are local to her (bonus!) and have lovely products.
Enviro Girl is a huge fan of Indigo Wild’s Zum Rubs. She uses the rubs on her chapped hands (she has eczema) and it does relieve the itching and rashing up. Recycla has used them too and also vouches for their fabulosity. (Yes, that’s a real word.)
Recycla absolutely loves her Kiss My Face Peaceful Patchouli Moisturizer — most of the year. Yes, she knows about the hippy dippy associations with patchouli, but she doesn’t care, because she loves the scent in this particular lotion. It’s not too overwhelming, but the smell does a linger for a few hours. Unfortunately, this lotion does not quite do the trick in the coldest and dryest of weather, so she is looking around for something else to slather on from chin to toes to keep her skin from totally flaking off.
Recycla has also tried Whole Foods’ 365 Brand lotions. Don’t waste your money. An hour after application, your skin will feel just as dry as if you hadn’t just rolled around in a vat of the stuff.
Readers, what are some of your favorite lotions?
Oh, come summer I shall try the kiss my face because I? Adore patchouli. Hippydipness and all.
I’ve tried Eucerin Dry Skin Therapy Original Miosturizing Creme, which has a rating of “2″ on Skin Deep for safety (zero being the best, 10 being very hazardous). It’s OK but overnight results just don’t seem to last for me.
I just bought some stuff from Avalon products. I’ll let you know if I break out or not.
