Memoir of a Glamor Puss

     Immediately after Labor Day, I start to get chronic itchy-leg syndrome.  The weather changes and my skin is left a little drier than usual – and shaving?  Forget it, the scratching starts as soon as my sensitive skin is dried with a towel.  I used to apply lotion after my shower, but by the time I got out I’d usually forget, or just become too preoccupied with doing my hair that I didn’t feel like actually rubbing the lotion in.  Olay In-Shower Body Lotion saved my legs!  Just slather this lotion on, rinse it off, and PAT (not rub) your body with a towel when you get out of the shower.  You’ll be moisturized until your next shower, no need to rub lotion in – SO MUCH EASIER!  Plus, hot steamy water opens up pores, making the shower a prime location for moisturizing.  Thank you Olay for coming out with such an amazing (and affordable) product!

Ingredients:  Water, Petrolatum, Mineral Oil, Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate, Dimethicone, Fragrance, Stearyl Alcohol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Niacinamide, Panthenol, Mica, Polysorbate 60, Titanium Dioxide, DMDM Hydantoin, Disodium EDTA, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Cetyl Alcohol, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Phenoxyethanol, Tin Oxide

Pros:

• Doesn’t have a strong scent, so it doesn’t interfere with my perfume.
• I prefer the Age Defying lotion to the other types (Quench and Ultra Moisture) because it has a slight gold shimmer to it.  When the sun stops coming out and I start to look pale, this little tint goes a long way to make my skin look flawless in the light.
• This lotion won’t make you break out, I use it everywhere after my body wash.
• This lotion contains: Vitamin E, Vitamin B3 and Vitamin B5.  
• Olay advertises the body wash being infused with “VitaNiacin” – mind you, this just means “vita” = Vitamin, “niacin” = niacinamide or a fancy name for B3.  Vitamin B3 is necessary in our diets, although I haven’t read much about the benefits of topical applications.
• Inexpensive: $6.99 – This bottle lasts me about a month.

Cons:

• Although this lotion is advertised to be for “aging skin,” I recommend it for everyone.  The only difference between this product and other Olay In-Shower Lotions is that it has a little bit of shimmer (which wonderfully makes up for losing my tan) and it is infused with vitamins.
