I always keep plenty of lip balm on hand in the winter, when my lips can get very dry and chapped. Sometimes, it happens in the summer too. I got a bad case of hay fever which left my nose so blocked for several days, that I was unable to …

Neutrogena is a brand that I have always relied on for making incredibly good skin products. The Norwegian formula hand cream has been around for a long time. It has many loyal fans and followers– because it is unique and it works. When I have very dry hands, there are …

My partner got a pair of these socks as a gift, and we have had a lot of fun with them. Based on the principles of foot reflexology, they have a printed map on the bottom of each sock, showing which organs are connected to each area of the foot. …

When Neutrogena came up with a continuous spray product that had “Helioplex” which was their own UVA/UVB stable protection blend, Banana Boat did not waste any time coming up with their own “AvoTriplex” name for the same sort of photo-stable protection. I had to laugh a bit. Companies always …

I have very fair skin, and there is also some evidence in my medical history that suggests I may possible have a mild case of lupus. For these reasons, and the fact that skin cancer just doesn’t appeal to me at all, I use strong sun block products when I …

I hate getting sick in the winter, and I use whatever is at my disposal for preventing it. Last year, I had become disappointed that some of my favorite preventative measures did not seem to be working. Part of the reason they may have failed was non-compliance– I would forget …

For a value priced body wash, it is hard to beat Suave brand. I have used a lot of their products, both in body and hair care, and have found that they have very high standards of quality, much better than most of their “discount brand”peers. When Suave makes …

I have always liked Suave products. While considered by many to be a “cheap” or “generic” sort of brand, I have found that the quality of their products is above and beyond many of their peers.
Suave sells products close to the mainstream market brands, and even offers some alternatives to …

When I was looking for a new body wash out of boredom with the ones at home, I came across the Dial Yogurt line. They contain hydroylzed yogurt protein, and come in several different scents. I chose the Aloe Vera after comparing it with the others. It has a fresh, …

When I first saw this bar of soap, it caught my eye because of the little embossed emblem which was visible through a window in the package. It looked like a “play” button that you would see on a YouTube video or other media player. I don’t know if it …

I have fallen in love with Method hand soaps. I have been using the self-foaming type, because I love the convenience and quality, but when I saw this product I decided to switch, at least temporarily, back to the liquid type. This is a larger bottle than most hand soaps, …

I bought this Yes to Cucumbers product when there was a sale on the brand. I have used some of the other “Yes to” lines, but had somehow missed the cucumber aloe gel. I use aloe on a regular basis in the summer to help cool my skin if I …
