Body lotions

Post by Janie »

What body lotion do you use if coconut oil is too greasy and stains my clothes? Can anyone give me some ideas.

Janie,

I use Vanicream. I use the lite lotion in the summer: https://smile.amazon.com/Vanicream-Sens ... =vanicream

And the heavier lotion in the winter: https://smile.amazon.com/Vanicream-Skin ... =vanicream

It is gluten, dairy, and soy free. I emailed the company to check it out. Have had no trouble and it works great! It is not greasy.

Thanks Jari, I ordered some and will give it a try. Skin so dry from the weather out here with the Santa Ana conditions. Nice to read about your trip and how well it went.

Thanks, Jari. I have been looking for something as my legs look like a snake shedding its skin! The harsh PA cold isn't very nice to the skin.

Gabes recommended shea butter

Hi Gabes, I looked at the iherb website for shea butter. They sell several brands. Which do you recommend? Thanks a lot.
