A good tip that I picked up and found to be successful as a moisturizer is using Aloe Vera on my skin. The brand suggested was Fruit of the Earth and this is what I was fortunate to pick up at my local Dollar Store. It was only after just a few weeks usage on my face that I noticed my skin looking more dewy and smooth. Too add to this regimen, it was suggested to me that I could make my own body moisturizer at home. The 'homemade' recipe called for the same Fruit of the Earth Aloe Vera Gel (in tube) along with petroleum jelly (in tube) and the last item was any baby lotion. Since I found all the products at the dollar store, my investment was $3 + tax! You just mix it all together and store in an inexpensive jar or I just use a small plastic/tupperware type container. It is wonderfully rich, not too thick and very moisturizing. I just love it! You can also pick and choose some variants as now baby lotions come in some nice scents like lavender, chamomile, or just fragrance free. You be the artist!
Ingredients:
Homemade moisturizer: 1 tube (plastic squeeze top is fine) of Fruit of the Earth Aloe Vera gel; 1 tube petroleum jelly (which I found with Vit. E in it and is a gel type also); 1 tube (squeeze top container) baby lotion.
How to prepare:
Mix equal parts together and store in airtight container. Wala! An inexpensive moisturizer that works! My understanding is that this recipe has been passed down in generations for years now. Sometimes it seems the 'oldies' are always the 'goodies'.
Results (observed by submitter):
My body was moisturized without any sticky film or waiting for it to soak in or dry first. After a short while I did not have to moisturize daily.
Costs involved:
$3.00
