Doing Drugstore: Alba Kona Coffee Hawaiian After-Sun Lotion
I really, really can't stand synthetic scents. That's why Alba's Kona Coffee Hawaiian After-Sun Lotion ($8) was a delight to use. I picked it up after accidentally getting a sunburn on my ankles (Bella can miss a spot, too), but quickly realized that it was much more versatile than its name would suggest.
H&M Goes Organic With Body Care
One more reason to like H&M: in just a couple of weeks, the Swedish fast-fashion chain is introducing a line of body care made with organic ingredients. Ecocert, the European certification organization, has given its green stamp of approval to the range of shower gels, body scrubs, lotions, hand creams, and lip balm. As you'd expect from H&M, it's also affordable.
Seed Grows a Green Body Care Idea
One of the frustrating things about some eco-friendly products is the often-high price. Yes, we'd all love to go green, but it's difficult to pay $20 for body lotion when Curel can be had for a small fraction of that cost.
Enter Seed, a new line of natural body care that's free of parabens, preservatives, phthalates, artificial colors, and animal ingredients.
Mousses vs. Soufflés: Do You Hunger to Know the Difference?
The other day, after testing out a sample of Enessa Shea Body Soufflé ($35.50), I was reminded how emollient, yet not greasy, this type of "lotion" can be. The fact that these styles of creams still manage to be heavy-duty without taking it too far into the grease-pit range makes sense.
The word soufflé is past tense of the French verb souffler, which translates to "to blow up."
Reader Review of the Day: Kai Body Lotion
The much-buzzed-about Kai products, like most other scents, are definitely a love-it-or-hate-it kind of deal. While I remain a bit on the fence with the popular scent, others love it, like reader GLB67. Here's what she had to say about the Kai Body Lotion ($33):
I bought this about a year ago and was a bit put off by the gardenia scent.
Reader Review of the Day: Jergens Skin Smoothing Cellular Renewal Moisturizer
Jergens's Skin Smoothing Cellular Renewal Moisturizer ($4.50) has exfoliating beads, along with natural fruit acids and hydrators. It sounds like a great Summer essential to me. But, does reader Nycbeauy9349 like the results this multitasking lotion gives?
Reader Review of the Day: Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion With SPF 15
I don't know about you, but I don't like my moisturizers to be overly scented. And that's one of the reasons why reader Stef42678 thinks Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion with SPF 15 ($10) is a great moisturizer. Take it away, Stef:
I really love using this moisturizer when I have dry and cracked skin because it is instant relief.
Reader Review of the Day: Gold Bond Medicated Body Lotion
When I saw that Superstar2780 had reviewed Gold Bond Medicated Body Lotion ($10) I had to chuckle. Mainly because Mr. Bella loves his Gold Bond Medicated Powder a lot. That, and the commercials make me laugh for some reason.
Reader Review of the Day: Olay Body Quench Ultra Moisture
When it comes to body creams, seeing the words "quench" and "ultra moisture" on the label is a hefty promise. What did reader Legallyblonde36 think about Olay Body Quench Ultra Moisture ($6), then? Find out below:
This is my favorite lotion.
