Hi Sasha - I would love a suggestion for a good body lotion. My legs are "ashy" and are looking generally awful. I know it's cold and for the most part I can keep them covered but I'm feeling self-conscience and insecure when they have to see the light of day! Thanks! A

The body lotion market is stocked with an array of great brands but I’ve narrowed down some of my old and faithfuls for ya!

If you’re looking for a good drugstore brand then Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion has long been a Tong family staple.  It’s long lasting, great for sensitive skin and non-greasy. 

A close second for me is Vaseline Cocoa Radiant.  It’s silky smooth and smells great.

Dermalogica is simply one of the best.  Their range of products continues to deliver on its beauty promise and I love their UltraRich Body Cream.  My skin always feels rejuvenated and hydrated after I slather it on. 

When my skin is really jacked the ultimate savior is my Kosmea Rescue Body Cream.  It literally heals any skin emergency.  Proof:  I broke out in full body hives the other week and slapped this on and within half an hour the hives settled and the itching stopped.  It’s no joke.

I haven’t tried Carol’s Daughter products myself, but I’ve read a lot of great things about the line, especially their Body Jelly.  It apparently works wonders on seriously dehydrated skin but beauty reviews do say it takes a couple of minutes for it to get really absorbed into your skin.  Give it a whirl and send me your feedback.

Lastly A, if your legs need an overall pick me up this winter then I’m sending you to a post I wrote about this summer – click here.  If your concern is mainly to pretty your pins up then this product has your name written all over it.

Thanks for writing in and keep me posted on what you ended up going with! xx
