This winter, fell in love with Johnson's Baby oil gel thanks to a recommendation of the beautiful stewardess with fantastic skin. It definitely served its purpose, keeping the skin soft, moisturized while giving a little hint of shine.
Now that's a bit warmer, I set my sights on a suitable alternative appropriate for spring and summer. The answer came in the form of Palmer's Cocoa Butter Moisturizing Body Oil. I can't remember that last time I used actual lotion on my legs. From my experience, layering thick creams on my body, day after day, only created a layer of unwanted buildup. Oils, on the other hand, absorbed easily into the skin.
Legs that reflect light are the epitome of sexy. Something wonderful happens whenever I use an oil based product on the skin instead of a cream. Somehow, the legs instantly appear more toned and healthy. Perhaps that's why fitness competitors slather themselves in oil to show off their hard work. A little oil on damp skin after a shower works incredible wonders.
But, let's be honest, the main reason why I grabbed this bottle was to take advantage of Palmer's world famous chocolate scented products. I can think of nothing better that walking around looking and smelling like a chocolate drop. Actually, the chocolate scent is mild and non-overbearing which won't make you feel too self-conscious about smelling like you've been drizzled in chocolate.
The oil blend contains cocoa butter and vitamin e so I'm crossing my fingers that it'll have an effect on any light scarring I have on my legs. The chocolatey oil blend easily sinks into the skin, leaving it soft and nourished. One of my favorite summer finds so far.
