Spring is Coming — Make Sure Skin is Ready with AmLactin.

SPONSORED

Spring will be here in just over ten days! I, for one, cannot wait. I am in full-on spring prep mode. I am ready for the warmer weather, new makeup, clothes and spending more time outdoors. It is time that I get my skin ready for spring too. While it is cold outside and warm inside during the winter months, my skin has built up some extra layers of dry skin as a result of this low relative humidity. It definitely needs some extra attention. It's time to peel away those layers and uncover more soft, smooth and radiant skin with AmLactin Alpha-Hydroxy Skin Care just in time for spring.

AmLactin moisturizers are so effective at transforming dry, rough skin into soft skin. You see, each product is formulated with alpha-hydroxy therapy which gently exfoliates dry, dead skin cells and intensely hydrates. With creamy emollients and rich humectants that help retain the skin’s natural moisture, water is drawn to the skin so it looks and feels soft and smooth.

With so many products to choose from in the AmLactin line-up, there are plenty of ways to make sure skin is ready for spring.

Using the AmLactin Moisturizing Body Lotion, the AmLactin Cerapeutic Restoring Body Lotion or the AmLactin Ultra Hydrating Body Cream daily after you shower or bathe will get your skin off to a great start. I like using the Moisturizing Body Lotion after my morning shower and then the Ultra Hydrating Body Cream before bed to wake up with really soft skin in the morning.

Another thing that I have been doing before bed is using the AmLactin Foot Cream. I apply the Foot Cream and then put on a pair of cotton socks right before bed and wake up to beautiful feet. I mean, who wants to wear sandals with dry, cracked, scaly feet? Not me! Now I can paint my toenails and wear sandals this spring and not be embarrassed.

AVEENO Skin Relief Gentle Scent™ Collection.

I've professed my love for AVEENO Daily Moisturizing lotion over and over and I honestly use it everyday. I like it because it is unscented and gets the job done of moisturizing my skin without being greasy or leaving a film on my skin. I was happy when AVEENO released a lighter version last year with their Sheer Hydration Lotion which was really great for the warmer weather months. Now they've gone ahead and added some Gentle Scent™ to the line-up and it definitely peaked my curiosity.

Now, yes, I normally like fragrance-free as I am admittedly not a fragrance girl. But this is AVEENO — everything that they do is gentle and nourishing. AVEENO did not disappoint with these new products.

The AVEENO Skin Relief Gentle Scent™ Collection includes two scents: Nourishing Coconut and Soothing Oat and Chamomile and both scents have been thoroughly tested and proven to be just as gentle on the skin as the fragrance-free alternatives. The Skin Relief Gentle Scent™ Lotion and Skin Relief Gentle Scent™ Body Wash are both formulated with ACTIVE NATURALS® Oat and nourish the skin to provide relief to soothe itchy, extra-dry skin.

I've been using the AVEENO Gentle Scent™ Body Wash and Lotion in Nourishing Coconut and the scent is soft and gentle, just as I'd expect and love. It is great for all ages, both men and women and year round. I'm excited to try the Soothing Oat and Chamomile scent as well.

Look for the AVEENO Skin Relief Gentle Scent™ Collection at your favorite drugstore or mass retailer.

Last Minute Gift Idea: Spa in a Basket.

It's almost Christmas! If you are like me, you are probably still scrambling for some last minute gifts and you are probably running out of ideas AND time. Well, I have a fun gift idea that any girl will love! 

As I regularly turn my bathroom into my very own little sanctuary and DIY spa, I am creating some unique spa in a basket gifts to share with some special girls in my life. They are fun and super easy to create. I know these gifts will be useful as EVERYONE wants soft, smooth skin this winter!

As I want everybody to step out renewed, refreshed and ready to take on the day, my Spa in a Basket includes products from Dove. I selected Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash and the Dove White Beauty Bars as these are SO good for the cold winter months and very nourishing for the skin. Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash is one of my everyday favorites and I love using it on my DIY spa night. This body wash makes my skin super soft and smooth after just one shower. It's a really mild formula but it has a super rich lather that I simply love; it's really luxe feeling. Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash provides skin with more natural nourishment than most body washes and it rinses quickly and cleanly. And everyone knows about the classic Dove White Beauty Bars. With 1/4 moisturizing cream and mild cleansers, the Dove White Beauty Bar leaves skin ultra soft and smooth.

The best thing about my Spa in a Basket is that the products can be easily found at stores near you — no heading out into the crowded mall. I picked up my Dove favorites from Sam’s Club and put them into a crate that I bought at my local craft store. Buying the large packs at Sam's Club, I can create a few gifts at once and have left overs for my own shower. Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash comes in packs of 3 and Dove White Beauty Bars come in packs of 16! I bundled these nourishing bath and body products with other products that I use to create my shower sanctuary and put them in the Spa in a Basket as well. I included a few candles, a bath pouf, a loofa and exfoliating shower gloves. Voilá!

Stop by your local Sam’s Club to pick up the Dove products you love.
