Natural & Organic Gifts for Mom

Vaseline Lotion

Moisturizers or Lotions, however you wall it, is my trusted Summer Beauty Tool. During winter season we apply moisturizers to our skin to keep it smooth and prevent it from drying. During Summer, we moisturize for the same reason, PLUS the fact that it’s also shorts, mini-skirts, strapless dress, and swimwear season. It is during Summer when our skin gets more exposure. From our face, all the way to our toes. At least if we get dry feet during the winter season we can hide them through boots. Dry legs? No problem, just wear tights underneath a dress or skirt or you could just as easily wear Jeans or Pants.

So my tip for this Summer is to moisturize, moisturize, and moisturize. My favorite lotion brands are Vaseline, St. Ives, Bath & Body Works, Victoria’s Secret, Yes To Carrots, and Gloves In A Bottle. How about you?
