The best way for any moisturizer to work is to use a scrub to remove all the dead skin beforehand. This really allows the moisturizer to sink in deep. I am really liking SURGEON’S SKiN SECRET One Step Manicure ($3.99 - $24.95/1oz - 16oz @ jamarklabs.com). It’s Shea Butter, essential oils (lemon, jojoba and almond) mixed in sea salt. Massage a tablespoon all over hands and get ready for softness.

No matter where I am, I always make sure I have a great lip balm on my person. Here are some that wet my whistle. Clockwise from top:

V’TAE Lan-O-Lips Lip Balm ($5 @ vtae.com)
CAKE BEAUTY Cake Kiss Lip Butter ($10 @ cakebeauty.com)
SURGEON’S SKiN SECRET SPF 25 Lip Conditioner ($3.49 @ jamarklabs.com)
VON NATUR Forget-Me-Not Lip Balm ($18 @ vonnatur.com)
RELISH BEAUTY Shea Butter Lip Balm ($6 @ relishbeauty.com)
UPPER CANADA SOAP Lip Butter Bling ($7 @ uppercanadasoap.com)
TREAT Sweet Butter Sugared Rose Tinted Lip Balm ($10 @ treatbeauty.com)

Every once in a while I come across a product that I can’t stop smelling! This is the case with these two next body moisturizers. Not only are the scents long lasting but they do a bang up job of softening skin. 

A total hit in the QVC channel, SURGEON’S SKIN SECRET Beeswax Moisturizing Cream ($13.99/8oz @ jamarklabs.com) has a lavender scent (smells slightly honey-ish to me) and is one thick and rich skin moisturizer.

East Indian sandalwood, almond, vanilla and a dash of lemon are what you’ll smell when you open CAROL’S DAUGHTER Sandalwood & Vanilla Shea Soufflé ($12/4oz @ carolsdaughter.com).
