Summer time saver: Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Butter Body Oil

by Emily

Honestly, the number one reason I skip body lotion most often is because I just don't want to take the time to do it. I try to take a nice long shower; I usually don't have any extra time when I get out to do much else other than throw on some deodorant and face moisturizer.

In the summer, however, I simply moisturize WHILE I'M STILL IN THE SHOWER. This is a genius move, in my own personal opinion. I love this product - I usually put it on right after I've turned off the shower but before I dry off - the gel is thick, otherwise, and doesn't go on as smoothly. I find that about a quarter-sized amount moisturizes perfectly if I have wet skin - it doesn't get greasy or oily, and after I've rubbed it on, I simply pat my skin dry with a towel.

I also am 100 percent addicted to the summery scent of coconut and cocoa butter, and this product has just the right scent strength. I pretty much forego any other scent in the summer - I don't want it to compete with this! I find a bottle lasts a while, and I don't use it after EVERY shower... sometimes, it really is TOO HOT for an oil-based moisturizer. But I do love that it feels indulgent when I DO use it, and the price really can't be beat.

I picked some of this up at the store after reading this post, and about a week later, my husband commented, "What have you been doing to your legs? They feel so soft and smooth!" If that isn't a glowing endorsement, I don't know what is.

He also accidentally thought it was shower gel and ended up oiling up a loofa ;)
