Whether or not I want to admit it, winter is here. The coats and gloves have come out, and my body is reacting to the colder, drier air. My humidity-happy hair has gone limp, my face is dry and sensitive, and my body looks like a crocodile. Vaseline asked me to take their Five Day Challenge with their Intensive Care body lotion and looking down at my parched hands I couldn’t think of a better time for it.
Come winter I usually switch to a moisturizer so thick it has to be in a tub, so when Vaseline sent me a bottle of their Intensive Care Advanced Repair Fragrance Free lotion (along with an adorable personalized mug, and hot Godiva hot cocoa!) I didn’t expect it to get the job done. But I must say I was surprised and pleased. The lotion leaves a very silky feeling on the skin, but it’s not at all greasy. It’s an unusual silky feeling not found in other lotions I have used, possibly because of micro-droplets of Vaseline Jelly in the formula. But this wasn’t a bad thing, and the formula kept my skin feeling soft and looking hydrated all day long.
As for the five day challenge? It made me a convert. I was really impressed by how the product did what it claims – it healed my dry skin in just five days. The test strips above prove it – the first one I pressed against my elbow before trying the lotion; the second one was pressed against the same elbow after five days. I may have finished the Five Day Challenge but I haven’t finished the bottle…. Yet! I’m seriously liking the results and will be using this lotion all winter long. It’s nice to get such great results from a wallet-friendly brand!
