I Blame My Bath Addiction

[affreca]

Despite occasional bath oils and a humidifier, my skin is drying out. My current lotion is difficult to use (solid, stuffed into a tub) and irreplaceable (bought at farmer's market). In the past I've used body shop's body butters, but now find them to artificial smelling. What is a good lotion that smells good?

Olive oil. Also keeps dough from sticking to your hands. Isn't very helpful handling glassware.

If you work hard enough, maybe you could be.

You can get olive oil for about $20/gallon at checkers if you don't want extra virgin.

Where do they get extra virgin olive oil, the ugliest olives? I better stop thinking about it, makes my head hurt.

I find that a really good one with not too strong or artificial of a smell (actually, stops smelling after a few moments) is Queen Helene Mango & Cocoa Butter Hand and Body Lotion. It can be found at almost any dollar store or pharmacy. Super cheap, but works great!!

I'll keep my eyes open.

I use Nature's Gate Skin Therapy lotion. It's awesome, has a nice light herbal/flowery scent, and is rillyrilly moisturizing. I get it for about 8 bucks at the Merc.

I really like the Gold Bond lotion - it's very effective, but you might not like the smell, if things are smelling too artificial to you.

This is what I use: http://www.beautyexclusive.com/archipelago-botanicals-soy-milk-body-butter.html
It's just like the Body Shop type (I used to use those too), but without all the super-fruity smells. Once I found it, I've never gone back.
