Well, I've been trying to save some money after splurging at the beginning of the year. I've been searching the drugstore shelves for some worthwhile products that are easy on my wallet, and I have to report that I've found a few.
#1 Dove Deep Moisture Day Lotion, spf 15. I use this in the morning after cleansing and toning. At first I was afraid it would we greasy, but it's not at all. It goes on thick, but dries light and quickly. It really moisturizes (containing loads of ceramides) throughout the day, and DOES NOT BREAK ME OUT. WHich is always a plus. Oh, and by the way, MMU goes on wonderuflly over this.
#2 Johnsons and Johnsons 24 hour Moisturizer (for body). I usually like a fragrant body lotion, but having run out of my store of them, I found myself not wanting to go out and spending the money to get more. I'd heard this was good, and it is! It's very light, and has a faint, very non-offensive scent to it. It has squalene in it so it leaves my skin very smooth. It moisturizes better than any of that smelly stuff I'm accustomed to using. I may never go back.
#3 Nivea Smooth Sensation body lotion. I bought this also because I heard it was good, and for $6 why not try it? I'm a body lotion nut. It's nice, has shea butter. But, really, it's no better than the Johnsons, which I think actually moisturizes a tad bit better.
#4 Nivea Q10 Wrinkle Reducer night cream. I really don't need to reduce wrinkles, but I needed a good night cream. This stuff is excellent! In addition to Q10, it has shea and macadamia in it. It's a very thick cream and goes on a little sticky, but when I wake up my skin is super soft and very smooth. And it doesn't break me out! I've noticed a more even tone as well. This would not be appropriate for oily skin, though. I probably wouldn't suggest it for blemish-prone skin either, simply because it's so rich. (This cost only $11, a real steal if you ask me)
On a side note, my boyfriend also loves the Dove lotion. On a weekend away, he kept asking me, "hey, where's that Dove shit?" |
