Time for us to get personal.
I have dry skin. No, that’s not correct, I have super dry skin. Desert dry skin even.
You know the type of skin that sucks up moisture & then is dry again. That itches cause it is dry so you scratch, lots. Bad habit I know. That’s my legs & the result of the scratching? Still dry legs with lots of scars and a rather dry sad looking tattoo.
I’ve seen doctors & skin specialists and they all tell me I just have super dry skin & to moisturize frequently. Cue the long list of products I’ve tried, both cheap & not so cheap. Most work for a few days then seem to leave my legs as dry. One or two even made my skin worse *sigh*
I was given an excellent product when I was pregnant with miss K (& it was used on my belly as well. Credit it as the reason I didn’t get stretch marks) as a gift. Went to buy some more but it’s a little out of our budget.
I was recently given the chance to try Vaseline Dry Skin Conditioning Lotion
The product arrived. A pump pack. One plus already. On the nightstand so I can use it b4 bed. I’ve since had to move it to the bathroom so a) Miss K can’t reach it and b) I can use it of a morning after my shower. I’m going to try it for a week, morning and night and get back to you with what I think….
Ok so it’s a week later, what do I think?
Positives
Comes in a variety of sizes. So one for the bag, one in the bedroom and one in the bathroom. heck maybe even one in the kitchen – might stop dishwasher hands
Price – it’s not very expensive (200mL: RRP: $ 4.99, 375mL: RRP: $ 7.29, 750mL: RRP: $ 10.99)
Smells nice.
Negatives
Left my hands feeling a little icky for a few minutes after use
Miss K keeps stealing it lol
Verdict. After using it for a week, both morning after my shower and at night before bed, I have noticed a big difference in my skin. It’s nowhere near as itchy as it used to be and doesn’t feel anywhere near as dry. I plan on keep using it and may even replace my regular hand cream with it.
