Hello! Today I thought I would share my must-haves for after shower care. Showering washes away a lot of essential oils that your body produces, and it dries out your skin quite a bit, so taking care of your hydration and skincare after a shower is extremely important.
I have very dry skin, unfortunately for me, so the majority of my skincare involves hydrating and moisturizing. Here are my holy grail post-shower essentials.
I actually got this product as gratis when I attended Clarins' seminar for their Fall 2014 line, and I like keeping it in its box because I don't use it every time. I might use it once a week or so, and that's just fine!
My boyfriend's mom actually had this in the bathroom when we went back to visit, and I forgot my normal body & face lotion, so I tried that one out and was hooked. Went out and bought my own as soon as we were home.
They have two types, unscented and lightly scented (I have the lightly scented one) and I mention this because I know there are a lot of people with skin sensitivities, particularly to scents. I might have very dry skin, but luckily for me I don't have sensitive skin, so I picked up the lightly scented one, and this makes my skin so smooth. Baby's bottom smooth. Shove your legs and arms into your friend's face and tell them to feel your skin smooth.
I use this cleaning milk on my face (even though it's a body lotion--I break the rules) and it's great. It doesn't have any added smells, but it smells (and feels) kind of like sunscreen. Which sounds like a bit of a turn-off right off the bat, because sunscreen is greasy and lingers, but this product definitely doesn't. It feels greasy and milky when you first apply it, but it sinks into the skin quickly and leaves it feeling hydrated. I love this!
I love to pay this on my chest and neck after I've done all my moisturizing, and I like to do it that way because it lasts on my skin more. Right after I moisturize, my skin is still a little bit sticky and powdering parts of it make the scent last longer because it clings to that.
