In my teens and twenties I was never much of a lotion person. My daily moisturizing routine included a few dabs of tinted facial moisturizer and then MAYBE a quick slathering of the legs with a dry skin lotion I happen to pick up on sale at the drug store. More often than not, I would forgo moisturizing altogether.
When I turned 30 I became a bit more conscience of my facial routine but I still routinely neglected the rest of my body. Then one day I discovered the best moisture, ever – La Prairie Caviar. It is decadent, and unfortunately comes with a decant price tag. And while a little goes a long way, I quickly realized that it was not the most cost effect potion to use or the most convenient. It’s not like I can run to my local Walgreens at 10 pm and pick a jar if I run out.
Needless to say, after some trial and error I have a found a few great drug store brands that make my skin feel almost as great as La Prairie’s offerings without spending all of my lunch money (air and Top Ramen for lunch every day gets a bit stale).

I i could have written this post, sounds like me ! sans the La Prairie purchase.
I adore the smell of Palmer’s and use it too.

You will love it.
