A Little Relief for Your Winter Woes

It's winter here in Ohio, and of course as luck would have it, it has been increasingly cold. There’s snow on the ground that falls fresh as soon as it’s melted away. We’re breaking cold-temperature records and with the wind-chill factored in, it really is freezing here. Along with that has come another winter woe: dry, chapped skin.

It's winter here in Ohio, and of course as luck would have it, it has been increasingly cold. There’s snow on the ground that falls fresh as soon as it’s melted away. We’re breaking cold-temperature records and with the wind-chill factored in, it really is freezing here.

Along with that has come another winter woe: dry, chapped skin. I find myself having to slather lotion on at least once a day, so when BlogHer offered to send me a couple of new products to try that feature natural ingredients, I was eager to see how they’d stand up to this wintry reality of mine.

Suave Professionals sent Moroccan Infusion Body Lotion and Moroccan Infusion Dry Body Oil. Both feature Moroccan argan oil, one of the rarest oils in the world because it comes from the argan tree, which can only be grown in specific growing areas, such as those in Morocco. It has been used in culinary and cosmetic ways for centuries and is now making a comeback for being naturally rich in nutrients and antioxidants.

The Moroccan Infusion Body Lotion is a daily moisturizer that absorbs quickly for up to 24 hours of radiant, non-greasy hydration, and the Moroccan Infusion Dry Body Oil Spray has a non-greasy formula that absorbs instantly and seals in long-lasting moisture. These products are both clinically proven to moisturize as well as Moroccanoil^®.

Having pretty sensitive skin, I have found I am pretty picky when it comes to moisturizing my skin during the winter months. I tried my husband’s lotion a couple of weeks ago and it literally made my skin burn. I have found that ones that feature “natural” ingredients like the argan oil don’t have that effect. Instead, both left my skin feeling supple and soaked in pretty quickly without much residue. I was able to put some of the lotion on my hands (where I find myself needing to reapply lotion the most frequently), slather it on, and just seconds later get back to typing.

They also smelled quite luxurious (it reminded me of a tropical cocoa butter or suntan-lotion smell). I liked it (especially in these cold months when a palm tree is a pipe dream!) but I wouldn’t mind a fragrance-free offering in the future.

Both of these products are new offerings from the Suave Professionals^® line, which is a new line from Suave that offers women everywhere access to premium quality products with the finest skincare ingredients.
