Winterize Your Skin with St. Ives! Pear & Soy Body Wash and Intensive Healing Lotion Reviews

 

Winter has been nasty this year. Cold, rainy, and lots of snow. We hadn’t seen this much snow in Kentucky in forever. The kids had tons of snow days already, and it’s only January. Winter has already alerted my skin!

Tired of that itchy, dry winter skin? Fix it with St. Ives® Revitalizing Pear & Soy Body Wash & St. Ives Intensive Healing Body Lotion

 

Pear Body Wash

 

Waking up and getting out the door during these cold winter months is hard for me. I absolutely dread the cold. I hate the way it makes my skin feel dry and itchy. Winter and I just don’t get along very well.

That’s the reason I love the St. Ives Pear Body wash so much. It awakens my senses and energizes my mind while moisturizing my body. The succulent sweet pear scent is just delicious. I’ve never seen a pear body wash before now, and let me tell you—I was definitely missing this in my life.

The fragrance is at about a medium level- Not too strong yet has lasting power. It is light, fresh, fruity and yet has a milky creamy overlay that adds amazingness to something already at a 10. It’s a subtle, sweet, inviting, invigorating scent. I can’t get enough!

The body wash is very rich and creamy. The mixture is very luxurious and bubbles up very well. It definitely does moisturize and heal the skin from dryness. I am in love with this body wash and it will remain a favorite in my swap-up.

This unique formula of pear extract & soy not only deeply cleans the skin but also helps to improve the texture. The combination of vitamins and minerals soothe and deeply moisturize the dryness.

Intensive Healing Lotion

Winter has left my skin really dry, itchy, and dull. My skin definitely needed some extra TLC and that’s exactly what the St. Ives Intensive Healing Body Lotion gives. Applying a rich lotion like the St. Ives Intensive Healing Body Lotion will help keep dry and flaky patches at bay, by locking in moisture for 24 hours.

This lotion is very rich and creamy yet not at all greasy. I love the fact that it doesn’t take forever for the lotion to take effect. As soon as I applied it, my skin felt 100% better. The dryness was gone and the itching had gone away.

There isn’t really a scent to this lotion, if there is it’s very light. I love that this locks moisture in for a good 24 hours and is proven to heal even the driest skin. It has only 100% natural moisturizing ingredients such as soy bean oil, olive oil, mango seed butter… etc.

I love the fact that there are natural ingredients in the lotion and it’s affordable. The lotion is priceless because I can even use this on my kids!

Udderly Smooth Products Review & Giveaway

Is your skin ready for the cold weather that is moving in? It was freezing last week here in Kentucky. It seriously felt like we skipped fall altogether and landed in winter. It was 33* here one night last week. Brr.

Cold weather drastically changes my skin. My skin dries out, flakes in spots, and starting itching (well my legs do). This is the reason I was so excited to be given the chance to review a basket of Udderly Smooth products.

Udderly Smooth sent a variety of items to be reviewed. When I received Udderly Smooth Cream products, I noticed that the labels are updated but the creams are still the same great products that everyone has come to love.

The Udderly Smooth Hand Cream is a godsend in my opinion. I constantly carry lotion with me wherever I go. If you look in my purse you’re more than likely to find 2 or 3 in there at a time. Udderly Smooth has now taken up residence in there, because I love how luxurious it feels.

My ideal hand cream would coming looking like Udderly Smooth’s. It is thick, rich, and creamy yet isn’t greasy in the least. I constantly crochet and the yard can be drying to my hands. I need a hand cream that it thick yet non-fragranced.

I don’t like using fragranced lotion/hand cream when I crochet because I want to start selling them, and some people are very sensitive to fragrances. Whether it be that their skin is allergic to fragrances or they can’t smell strong scents.. I just go with unscented. In my opinion this smells like Johnson’s Baby Lotion (just clean and awesome).

I love the quality of this cream. I don’t have to keep reapplying and reapplying it. TIP: You can even use this as a nighttime moisturizer on your face. It’s thicker so it really absorbs into the skin and doesn’t break you out. It can also be used a pre-makeup moisturizer/primer! AND It’s dirt cheap (especially if you get the tub).

The Udderly Smooth Body Cream is amazing for legs, arms and other dry areas over the entire body. It is amazing at moisturizing and smoothing rough, dry skin while helping condition it. It is packed with a blend of moisturizer that make it feel silky and soak into the skin.

It has a light, fresh fragrance. One that is subtle, not at all overpowering or even all that noticeable. The jar that this comes in is amazing. I can just dip my hand into it and get whatever amount I need. The cream is REALLY thick, creamy and immediately works. I love it!

No other body cream has rehydrated my skin better or in a quicker time frame. Within just a couple days all the dry skin was back to looking healthy and didn’t itch because of the dryness. It leaves no greasy or oily residue behind. I can take a shower and apply this immediately after patting dry. It instantly soaks into my skin, and my skin drinks it up.

My skin feels not only moisturized but nourished and healthy as well. If you’ve never tried the body cream, moisturizing lotion, or the Hand & Body lotion—you’ve been missing out my friend. I wish I’d had this when I was tanning 3x a week, it really dried my skin out., I am going to start using Udderly Soft and Smooth all year round, not just in the Winter!

The Udderly Smooth Hand & Body Lotion and Udderly Smooth Moisturizing Lotion are lighter than the body cream. These lotions are meant for daily use. They took the best out of Udderly Smooth Udder Cream and added slight differences to each one.

The Hand & Body Lotion is rich and creamy, yet a lighter more thin consistency than the hand or body creams. It has a light beach fragrance which is relaxing yet invigorating. The light scent takes me to light waves crashing against the shore, birds chirping, and clean air.

They’ve added Aloe Vera and Vitamin E to heal and nourish the skin. Aloe Vera, just by itself, is a natural moisturizer, heals acne, and fights aging. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that heals and repairs the skin while protecting it at the same time. It fights against free radicals, which in time hurt the natural collagen in the skin, causes dry skin, and creates wrinkles.

The Udderly Smooth Moisturizing Lotion is the original Udder Smooth lotion. Originally developed for use on dairy cows, Udderly Smooth® Udder Cream. is used by many people for their dry and chapped skin. It is wonderful skin nourishment in a pump action top!

It truly feels so soft and luxurious when it’s applied to my skin. This lotion is awesome for dry, chapped skin. It works wonders with healing and nourishing your skin into soft, satiny, younger feeling skin!

I’ve tried plenty of foot creams but most can’t even try to compare to the Udderly Smooth Foot Cream with Shea Butter. Dry feet and heels are the worst! I HATE when my feet feel dried out. This is super effective for even the driest of feet.

Adam works in a warehouse unloading semi trailers for Dollar General and walking around on a concrete floor in steel toes really does damage to his feet. They make them so dried out that they end up cracking and getting super tender.

He has used so many different creams on his feet that we’ve lost track. I’ve even tried home remedies on him that didn’t work. He likes this cream because the thick consistency really soaks into his feet. It softens the rough, dry skin without a problem and keep them moisturized.

He also appreciates that it doesn’t contain any menthol or alcohol. Where the dryness cracks his skin in some places, the alcohol/menthol will make them burn. This also has added Shea Butter which also helps keep the skin from drying out.

Most lotions/creams are greasy and therefore don’t seep into the skin so quickly. He never walks around the house unless he has socks/shoes on, so he liked that this soaked in immediately. It doesn’t leave oily/greasy residue inside his socks.

TreeHut Coconut Lime Body Scrub and Lotion Review

TreeHut Coconut Lime Body Scrub


Directions: Apply all over body in circular motions in shower or bath
This body scrub has rated 10/10 on my body scrub list. It is lightweight, yet very moisturizing. You can feel the small grains in the scrub which is awesome, because it exfoliated my skin just perfectly. The texture was amazing!
In the shower, after washing with regular body wash- I scoop this out by a small handful (with my hands of course) and rub it on my skin directly with my hands (or a washcloth).
I love to use this as a shaving cream as well. The grainy texture exfoliates my legs while giving me the closest shave I have EVER had with anything! My legs were so soft, smooth, and supple. I couldn’t believe I had such a close shave with a body scrub.
After my shower, my skin felt awesome! Most body scrubs feel oily to me. Not only did they leave oily marks on my clothes, but they also made my skin retain the oil and give me bumps and ingrown hairs on my thighs.  Not with this one. Because it isn’t greasy, all it left was softness.
It is easy to wash off, and my skin LOVES this. My skin seems to soak up moisturizers now. My skin is nothing but brilliant now! This has even helped my Keratosis Pilaris (chicken bumps).
I got some fake bake bronzing lotion, and you have to exfoliate before using it, so that the bronzer doesn’t stick to your older skin cells. This body scrub was the most perfect thing I could have used with the fake tan.
My skin was so soft and all my dead skin cells were gone, so that all was left was clean skin for the bronzer to cling to. I didn’t have any streaks or really dark spots.
I don’t find It necessary to use this daily, maybe 2-3 times a week. My skin definitely keeps smooth until the next use. I don’t even have to use lotion when using this. That is a big statement coming from me!
The smell is amazing. I hadn’t heard of coconut lime until bodycology launched their line of coconut lime lotion in 2009-10- I got some but I’m telling you- THIS brand smells much better and is cheaper!!

I am in LOVE with this lotion. It is so thick and creamy yet doesn’t leave a greasy oily. This is such a smooth lotion, goes on so creamy. I think my skin has fallen in love. I use this more than I do my Amber Romance from Victoria’s Secret.
I am definitely looking forward to having this in the winter. My skin gets itchy, red, and flaky from the cold weather. This is a gentle lotion that gets the job done. It smells amazing and the smell lasts for a long time.
After taking a shower, I smother my body in this. It just feels so amazing. I have even used this to tame the frizz I get in my hair after being outside sweating playing with the kids. If I am not taking a shower for a little while longer, I’ll just rub a dab of this in my hair and it works wonders!
It contains vitamins A, C, and E. So it’s naturally a skin soother and smoother! Definitely has me hooked. I am addicted not only to the lotion and scrub but the SMELL!!
