I’ve been trying a number of creams lately and I’m happy to report that I’ve found some really great ones that have done wonders for my dry skin!
This time of the year can seriously cause severe dryness to the skin and my weapons of choice are good quality body creams.
I know it might not sound all that glamorous, but if you have someone on your “winter birthdays” gift-giving list who has really severely dry skin in the winter, a good quality hand or body cream would be a really wonderful gift.
I should warn readers … in some cases these creams can only be found in America or the U.K. in most cases you will have the option to purchase them online, but I thought it was important to state that up front.

Ojon Tribal Indulgences Batana moisturizes your body
Feature by our Editorial Assistant Colleen
Now this is a different type of hair collection than the one that uses Ojon® oils to create smooth and shiny hair.
The use of Ojon® oils was discovered by Denis Simioni, who was in the beauty business when his wife discovered a jar of brown paste that was left over from a relative a couple of years ago.
They realized how much nicer her hair became after applying the paste on her dry and damaged hair. Simioni’s next step was to find out where the oil came from. He and his team embarked on a journey to find the Ojon® tree that is found in the rainforest of the Mosquitia region of Central America and the Tawira Indian tribe.

I really like Dove Go Fresh Collection
Nothing screams spring like the fresh scent of blooming flowers, freshly cut grass and that fresh scent you cannot get at any other time of the year.
In my book nothing smells quite like spring like the Dove Go Fresh collection!
The Dove collection features a full range of fresh scented beauty bars, deodorants, hair care products (shampoo and conditioner), body washes and (the new) body mist.

Per-fekt Beauty is the ideal travel skincare for your next trip!
Feature by our Editorial Assistant Colleen
It’s pretty annoying when I realize I don’t have any travel-sized toiletries before I leave for a trip.
Luckily, hotels usually have something that you can use but sometimes you have to go out and buy skincare products you like and know work for you.
I’ve just been introduced to Per-fékt Beauty and all of their skincare products are 3 oz or less!!!
There are three main gels that are part of this line: 1) skin perfection gel, 2) body perfection gel and 3) new eye perfection gel.

V-Neck Smoothing Creme by Bioelements is the perfect product for wedding season!
Feature by our Editorial Assistant Colleen
Now here’s a product you don’t see every day! There are some who say that your neck gives away your age, but what if you could take that clue away?
And how often are you envious of those model shoots of women with nice long and silky smooth looking necks? I know I wish I was able to keep the skin of my neck as smooth as possible and I know for a fact that I don’t have access to air-brushing like so many models in magazines do.
Unfortunately for me, my neck isn’t all that great in terms of concealing lines, and that’s why I think the V-Neck Smoothing Creme by Bioelements is worth taking a closer look.

Review: The Ojon Tawaka Ball is an incredible exfoliant for the body!
Review submitted by product reviewer Eleni
Some mornings it’s just too hard to get going — hitting the same old city streets and the same old office job wearing the same old office garb and drinking the same old coffee. Some mornings, I need a bit of an adventure to get me going first. I know what you’re thinking, but Mr. Right Now isn’t always there … so when he’s not, I like to pretend that I’m a nubile rainforest goddess living under a jungle canopy and loving my perfect hair and skin … I know – I have an overactive imagination!
Testing Ojon Tawaka “The Ball”

Review: Should you buy Elizabeth Grant’s Vitamin C Body Lotion?
Review submitted by our product reviewer Eleni
I just love a luxurious body lotion. Generic drugstore brands are okay and do their job, but sometimes a girl wants to feel more pampered … more like a princess or movie star. I was able to get that creamy, dreamy feeling using the Elizabeth Grant Vitamin C Body Lotion.
Testing Vitamin C Body Lotion:
Testing this lotion was a no-brainer. I applied it every morning after my shower while my skin was still slightly damp and able to absorb all the goodness. Adding vitamin C to this body lotion in the sunny yellow tube with its flip-top cap was pure genius. The consistency is the perfect amount of creaminess that absorbs quickly and keeps working for hours. The lotion has a very light citrus scent that doesn’t clash with perfume in any way.

Biolements body cream is amazingly moisturizing
I cannot tell you how much I hate dry skin. It doesn’t really matter if it’s summer or winter … I always seem to have parts of my body that are extremely dry.
I have lately come across a new body cream that I never heard or tried before.
There are a few things I dislike about a body cream: super-greasy and creams filled with synthetic fragrances. I cannot be bothered with either of those types of creams.
I was a bit skeptical when I got the Bioelements Vitalization Rich Intensity Body Cream and dismissed it as just another cream … that’s until I actually tried it.

Dremu Oil offers post-pregnancy skin and body care
Dremu Oil is very effective at combating stretch marks from your skin being stretched out to make room for your new little bundle of joy.
During your pregnancy you might have had to also deal with “pregnancy skin,” which means there wasn’t anything that you could buy or try that would soothe or rejuvenate your skin when you were expecting and in some cases months after you’ve given birth because of those temperamental hormones.
