Hey there!
The weather has
been so nice that the kiddo and I have been living in the pool. We've been in
the pool, next to the pool, looking at the pool, dreaming of the pool...you get
the picture. Since we've been in the chlorinated water so much, I've noticed
that my skin isn't 100% happy.
When I step out of
the water, the kiddo and I immediately take a bath and get the chlorine off of
our skin. Right after hopping out of the tub, we gotta moisturize. I could
reach into my bag'o essential oils and pull out some coconut oil or jojoba oil
but I have an old standby already prepared. You know what I've begun pulling
back out? My Nivea Soft Moisturizing Creme.
I normally only
pull that out during the winter months but with the chlorinated water on my
skin twice a week or so, I need to make sure my body is super moisturized. This
stuff does the trick. Normally I can get away with my favorite lotion, Jergens
original scent. But this summer, no. I have to give a bit extra.
My original purpose
for the Nivea Soft Moisturizing Creme was as a face cream for the winter. In
the winter I have to boost my face moisture. This stuff, however, was a bit too
much for my face. The container says it's for face - body - hands. It wasn't
for my face but it is certainly for my body and hands.
The Nivea website
says I should partner my Nivea Soft Moisturizing Creme with one of the Creme
Moisture Moisturizing Body Washes. I actually have a few of those so next time I'll
try washing with the Moisturizing Body Wash and then slathering on the Nivea
Soft Moisturizing Creme. Sometimes working within a brand set helps out.
I've also noticed
that quite a few people are talking about body gels for moisturizing. I haven't
tried moisturizing gels yet. It just seems so wet. They claim not to leave a
greasy residue but I don't know.
For now, I will
just stick with my Nivea Soft Moisturizing Creme. It has worked well so why
change it up?
