My Opinion: - Body lotions are must for our skin in all seasons, especially if you have dry skin. Just as fall is approaching, my limbs are starting to get a little dry and by winter they are very dry. So I perk up my body care routine around this time every year.  I have been using the Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Glow 24hr Nourishing Lotion since last fall and loving it. Though I use body lotions from other brands, I keep coming back to this body lotion. Today I am putting forward my views on this body lotion. The packaging is simple but good looking. Plastic bronze flat bottle with chocolate flip-open lid. Nothing special or extraordinary but travel-friendly.

               This light (whitish) brown body lotion is thick and heavy creamy lotion. But it is non-sticky as well as non-greasy. I usually wait for a couple of minutes before putting on my clothes. My skin absorbs it very quickly and easily without much rubbing/massaging. Coming to the fragrance part, it delicious I would say :P Its chocolaty/caramely  fragrance also has a touch of coconut scent in it. The scent stays on for an hour or two before fading off completely. It’s a mild fragrance though.  I use it after bath every morning and night, I use on my whole body and I apply it by pouring some on my palm and rubbing the lotion between both palms to warm it a little. Then I spread it over my damp skin.

                 It keeps my skin soft and supple all day/night long. This body lotion gives enough moisture to my dry limbs and keeps them well nourished also. It stays on until I wash off with soap/body wash. It does not go with plain water alone. It contains Titanium Dioxide which acts as a sunscreen so I can use this body lotion during the day safely. I cannot say much about the 24hr claim because I never wore it for more than 8-9 hours. It is truly named ”Cocoa Glow” as it has given me glowing skin. this lotion is available in many sizes and therefore it can be used by all class of people.

THIS LOTION ISN'T WHITE, ITS WHITISH BROWNISH KINDA

Pros: -

* Affordable and easily Available

* Available in many sizes

* Does not wash off with water alone, soap is needed

* Stays on for long hours (8-9hours) until I wash it off

* Delicious fragrance, I love it very much

* Makes my skin glow

* Keeps my skin well moisturized and well nourished

* Makes my skin soft and supple

* Contains Titanium Dioxide hence I use it during the day safely

Cons: -

* Contains Parabens  (so what??? Most skin care products does and it’s not a problem with me)

        
                I rate this Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Glow 24hr Nourishing Lotion 5 out of 5. I fully recommend it to all girls with dry skin, but I can’t say if the ones with excessive dry skin will find it helpful. This is a must have body lotion for me though I keep experimenting with different brands.

              The onset of winter is a season when we are supposed to be healthy, beautiful but at the same time cold and dry weather affects the skin. During this season we have to pay extra attention to skin. Skin becomes dry giving birth to so many skin diseases.

                     
              Always use tepid water for washing your face. Do not use astringents during winter otherwise your skin will become drier. Moisturiser should be used during the winter season. Also use natural homemade products as much as possible for maintaining the glowing complexion and overall beauty.

                      
              Today I brought for you a few homemade moisturising face masks that are beneficial for winter use.

                    
              Curd Mask:- Mix 1 tspn each of curd, honey and almond oil and apply on your face and neck. Leave it on for atleast 20 mins and wash off with tepid water.

                      
             Egg mask:- Mix together the yolk of an egg and 1 tbspn of almond oil. Apply all over face and neck thickly and leave it on 20 mins. Then wash it off with tepid water.

             Honey Mask:- Mix together 1 tbspn of honey, 2 tbspn of egg white, 1 tspn of olive oil and a few drops of rose oil. Apply this mixture on your face and neck and leave it on for 20 mins. Wash it off with tepid water.

                      
             Milk Mask:- This is one of the simplest and cheapest mask which is also very effective. Dampen a cotton ball in raw milk and apply on your face and neck. Leave it on for 15 mins and wash off with warm water.

                     
            Strawberry Mask:- Mash up four strawberries and apply on your face. Leave it on for 15 mins and wash it off with tepid water. You will find the skin clean and sparkling.

Apply a mask on your mask at least thrice a week. Masks are one of the oldest beautifying treatments.

                      
            Always use a cold cream or nourishing cream suited to your skin all throughout the winters. Your skin will become soft and supple with just a little care.
