Curel Itch Defense Skin Balancing Moisture Lotion



Curel recently introduced Itch Defense Skin Balancing Moisture Lotion, a lotion specifically for those with dry, itchy skin, including the most common type of eczema (intense skin itch).

i cannot tell you how excited i was when i learned about this!

you see, my daughter has eczema. while it was more serious when she was younger, she still experiences painful itching if she doesn't keep her skin properly moisturized. some lotions she has tried (blame me) have irritated her skin, causing her skin to itch even if it wasn't before.


she keeps the Curel in her room :)

she likes St. Ives 24 Hour Moisture Lotion, but when this Curel showed up on our doorstep, and i told her what it was specifically for, she was thrilled to be the "expert" to test it out. here are her thoughts (with a few of bits of info from me):

"i like this lotion a lot. it makes my skin feel soft and i like that (the non-greasy formula contains olive oil and shea butter). i don't really like the smell, but i don't mind because it's not strong (it's actually fragrance-free). my skin doesn't itch when i use it, but if i do feel it getting itchy, i use this and it helps right away (the formula works to restore skin's barrier function and help it retain more moisture)!"



thought i'd also point out: the National Eczema Association has given Curel's Itch Defense Lotion their seal of approval and it's safe for everyone from adults to babies to use.

even if you don't have eczema, you may still experience skin dryness as the weather cools down (i know i practically bathe in body lotions during the winter!), so i think this is a must-have product for everyone during the fall/winter season!

green beauty: Jurlique Love Balm



if your skin needs some extra loving care, you need to try Jurlique's Love Balm. as with all of the brand's products, this is a natural product, sure to win over the "green" beauty in you.

scented with tangerine oil (love that!), Love Balm is a salve that works on everything from your lips to your toes. vitamin E, olive and safflower oils give skin the replenishment it needs to be healthy and protected.

although this is a versitile balm that works great anytime of year, the winter is coming (not soon enough, LOL!), and that sometimes means brutal cold that can lead to chapped skin. applying this before battling the harsh, chilly elements will definitely help save your skin from damage that can be caused by it.

here are some ways you can use this Love Balm:

**on your lips to moisturize, condition, protect and soften

**on elbows-- massage into rough areas

**on your cuticles–- keep nails looking great by rubbing on daily to hydrate dry cuticles

**on hands for an all over "invisible" protective glove


**on your legs to instantly hydrate skin and give a lovely sheen when wearing your favorite dress

**on your nose to soothe chapped areas during the flu, a cold, or exposure to the elements

**on your feet-– apply to heels to help soften dry, toughened skin


**breathe in to uplift-- whenever you need a pick up, inhale the tangerine scent for an instant boost!
