I agree with Robin - that you need to read the list of ingredients on the bottles of lotion. Most of them are packed with chemicals! When you apply the lotion to your skin, your skin is absorbing the lotion/chemicals. Not good! Same goes with petroleum products, like Robin also mentioned. You don't want to put petroleum on your skin.

As a side note, Bath & Body Works' lotions may smell good, but one of their ingredients is alcohol! Now how strange is that, for lotion to have alcohol, which is drying?! I've tried their lotions before, and sure enough, an hour or two later, my skin feels even drier. So you use more lotion. It's a vicious cycle. And actually counter-productive to your skin!

Soooo...what to do? Look for companies that sell natural lotions -Shaklee, look at the health food store.


Blessings,
Melanie
