Diabetic Advanced Healing Cream Review

It seems as if everyone knows someone who is affected by diabetes.  Diabetes leaves your skin feeling dry and itchy.  It can be really difficult to find a product that provides relief.  Neoteric Cosmetics, a subsidiary of Scott’s Liquid Gold, has created a Diabetic Advanced Healing Cream to improve the quality of life for those living with Diabetes. This cream is an exceptional intensive treatment for chronic dry, cracked, damaged, slow healing skin. Containing TriOxygenC®, Neoteric Diabetic Oxygenated Advanced Healing Cream is clinically proven to increase circulation and speed skin's healing by strengthening its own natural defenses.

I don't have diabetes, but my feet are always extremely dry so I decided to try this product. It is the only lotion I have found that gives me the relief I need.  It doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy, and makes the itching and dryness go away. I use it daily to keep my feet soft and healthy! It is a great lotion and has no fragrance, so any one can use it! It works great anywhere on the body that you need that extra relief from dry itchy skin! I love it and will continue to use it!

On A Mission to Rescue Dry Skin-Vaseline Intensive Rescue Review

Did you know that 77% of women with dry skin say it makes them physically uncomfortable—and over half think about it every single day?** That’s why Vaseline® Intensive Rescue is on a mission to rescue dry skin!  It is a highly therapeutic body lotion that accelerates skin’s healing process by instantly tripling moisture reserves without feeling greasy or sticky. This range of lotions delivers more moisture than Eucerin Plus Intensive Repair lotion, without a greasy feel.  I have dry skin, especially when the seasons change, and in problem areas.  My knees and elbows seem to always be dry, and my legs are always in need of lotion. I needed a lotion that would rescue my skin, and this lotion did just that!

Vaseline^® Intensive Rescue^® Repairing Moisture Lotion heals dry skin effectively without feeling sticky or greasy on skin. Its unique formula accelerates skin’s healing process by tripling skin’s moisture reserves instantly.

• Repairs & softens
• Delivers 24 hrs of therapeutic moisture
• For dry to very dry skin

The Result: Effective dry skin moisturization that helps heal dry skin while feeling comfortable on skin – not greasy or sticky.

I have been using this lotion for a while now and I really love it. Most lotions either feel greasy or they don't deliver the moisture my skin desperately needs. This lotion left me feeling refreshed, and I didn't have to apply more an hour later. I have been using it 2-3 times a day, at least morning and night, to keep my skin soft and moisturized. This is the first Vaseline lotion I have liked using because any other ones haven't given me the results I wanted.  It is definitely a great lotion!

I was not compensated for this post. I was given a free bottle of lotion in exchange for a review on my blog. All opinions are 100% my own.

Tropical Traditions Arnica Moisturizing Lotion Review & Giveaway!

One product I have to use daily is lotion. If I skip any other routine I will be okay. But I have to use lotion for my dry itchy skin. I have to avoid certain lotions, which cause my skin to become even more irritated. I prefer natural ingredients to keep my skin healthy.  I love Tropical Traditions Arnica Moisturizing Lotion! This lotion is made from great ingredients that keep my skin moisturized without feeling greasy!


The smell of this lotion is amazing.  It is unlike any lotion I have tried before! This is a great massage lotion, and especially for those tired muscles!  The unique combination of ingredients creates a very relaxing scent!  This lotion goes on well and absorbs within a few minutes.  I am even able to use it on my youngest daughters skin, and she has eczema.  She has had no reactions to this lotion and I have used it on her many times.  I really love this lotion!

 

How Tropical Traditions Organic Moisturizing Lotions are Different

Filipinos are well-known for their youthful appearance and soft skin, even though they live in a climate that exposes them to the sun’s rays year round. Coconut oil is their main dietary oil, and is also the main ingredient in their skin care products.

All of the moisturizing lotions that Tropical Traditions offers are made with organic Virgin Coconut Oil and Virgin Palm Oil. No other products on the market are made with finer oils as their base. Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil is traditionally made from fresh organic coconuts, and independent laboratory tests show that it has a higher level of antioxidants than other coconut oils.

The founders of Tropical Traditions are Brian and Marianita Shilhavy.  In 1998 Brian  and Marianita returned to the Philippines with their three children and renovated Marianita's old family farmhouse. By this time the coconut industry was severely depressed due to the negative U.S. campaigns against tropical oils in the 1980s and 1990s. Coconut farmers could no longer support their families on the income generated from harvesting coconuts. This couple tried a method the older generation used to extract the oil by grating the fresh coconut, extracting the coconut milk, and then letting the coconut milk stand in a covered container for about 24 hours. After about 24 hours, the oil naturally separates from the water producing a crystal clear oil that retains the full scent and taste of coconuts.  This proved successful, and they began using this for their own families.  They still use traditional methods for their products today!

Check out Weleda's History!

It all goes back to 1921 and something called anthroposophy. This movement, stemming from the teachings of philosopher Dr. Rudolf Steiner, encourages the individual to see his or her body, mind and spirit as intrinsically linked to our world; all part of one holistic system.
And so Steiner, along with Dr. Ita Wegman, got together with a team of dedicated scientists and doctors to determine just how they might use this philosophy to take care of their patients’ needs. They understood that a human body has a remarkable ability to heal itself, but sometimes it needs a little help. So they developed a personal approach to health care using natural ingredients that can holistically work with and support our own body’s healing tendencies.
They started by creating one of the world’s first Biodynamic^® gardens to grow what they needed. Sound new agey? It’s actually old agey—what cultures around the world have done successfully for generations.
It was successful for our founders too.

Patients were healed, wellness and balance were restored to them, and never once was a synthetic chemical or lab-made preservative used in the process.
The company’s new name couldn’t have been more appropriate: Weleda, after the Celtic goddess of wisdom and healing.
Soon, word got around about the innovative, effective work Weleda was doing and the company spread from Switzerland, to Germany and into North America and the world. Today we’re proud to have offices and partnerships in more than 50 countries. 
And yet despite our success, not a whole lot has changed. We still cultivate our own Biodynamic^® gardens. We still believe natural ingredients truly provide what a body needs to be vibrant, beautiful and well. We still put the health and well-being of you above all else.
And we continue to grow, spreading our passion for beauty, wellness and environmental respect around the world.

Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion Review and Giveaway!

I am a lotion fanatic. Can't get enough of it. I swear everytime I walk into Walmart I buy a bottle! So I was super thrilled when I got the amazing Shielding Lotion from Skin Md Natural

From Skinmdnatural.com:

With Skin MD Natural™
irritants are kept - OUT, moisture - IN, making it
the perfect dry skin care product

A shielding lotion does much more than just treat dry skin – it’s a new kind of skin care product that makes a real difference to all skin types.
Skin MD Natural™ utilizes the finest effective natural ingredients for dry skin treatment along with the latest advances in technology to hydrate and protect the skin.
This is an entirely new concept in skin care requiring a new classification: "Shielding Lotion". A shielding lotion keeps moisture-robbing irritants away from the skin while the proprietary "super" humectants hydrate the skin throughout the day.

When I put the lotion on, I truly felt the layer! Not in a thick way, but it felt like I had something there and my skin loved the moisture!! I love that it can work for face, hand and body!! It truly moisturizes while maintaining the barrier to keep toxins out! A great lotion that is proven to work!
