Bio-Oil Body Lotion - 250ml - $19.99 - supplements the skin’s natural oils which can be stripped away by factors such as extreme weather, water with high chemical content, frequent bathing and the drying effects of central heating and air conditioning with a unique formula containing 42% oil (which is double the about of oil typically used in a lotion) offering intense hydration in an incredibly light texture that absorbs almost instantly to help lock in moisture and reduces the rate at which water vapour is naturally lost through the skin’s surface.
The super light formula contains a blend of vitamins A, E and F along with rosehip, sunflower seed, jojoba and shea oils as well as calendula extract and hyaluronic acid. The special formula also means you need to treat it special and gently shake before you use to disperse the oil layer back into the lotion. You will be amazed at how moisturizing such a light product can be - and if you aren't a fan of fragrance, no worries, it has very little scent to it.
Available at drugstores across Canada and online at amazon.ca. If you are a Costco member that would be an excellent place to get it too - a 2 x 250ml pack is only $26.99!
CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Lotion For Dry to Very Dry Skin - 237ml - $29.99 - a rich and repairing lotion with 3 essential ceramindes that continuously hydrates, reduces itch due to dryness and helps restore the skin barrier with a formula containing hydro-urea and shea butter and MVE Technology which offers controlled release for long lasting hydration. The lotion is rich but not greasy or sticky, it just soaks right in - it's also pH-balanced, fragrance-free and allergy tested. You're welcome.
Available at drug and mass retailers across Canada.
Origins Ginzing Ultra-Hydrating Energy-Boosting Cream - 50ml - $53 - a super-rich, energy-boosting moisturizer formulated to help wake up dull, lackluster, extra dry skin with 72-hour hydration. The formula includes caffeine from coffee - naturally energizing, it helps to refresh and recharge skin; ginseng - helps increase skin’s natural energy; hydra hug technology - helps bridge the gap between skin cells so they "hug" to prevent moisture loss. I was a little bit skeptical at the idea of skin coffee to wake up my skin - but I was wrong - I might not like coffee but my skin sure does - it gives it an energized look even when I don't feel that way!
Available at Shoppers Drug Mart and Sephora stores across Canada and online at beauty.shoppersdrugmart.ca and sephora.ca.
