Tone Moisturizing Cocoa Butter Body Wash
Friday, August 30th, 2013
Everyone knows that cocoa butter is great for the skin. However, with such a distinct smell if you don’t care for it, it’s hard to ignore. Tone’s Moisturizing Cocoa Butter Body Wash is infused with mango, papaya, and Vitamin E, so it has a pleasant, fruity fragrance. We recommend this for people who don’t like the smell of cocoa butter but want its benefits. This body wash has a thick consistency, but it’s not quite as creamy as some moisturizing body washes such as Dove Nutrium. It lathers and rinses well and it doesn’t leave your skin dry at all. However, if you’re skin is extremely dry you may want a richer body wash.
Tip: Want to make a homemade body scrub? Try using 1 cup of full fat plain yogurt, ½ a cucumber, and 2 tablespoons of sea salt. Rub the mixture on dry skin before your shower to soothe and exfoliate at the same time!

Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Radiant Lotion
Sunday, March 10th, 2013
Cocoa butter has always been a go to ingredient for people with very dry skin. Vaseline has just introduced their Total Moisture Cocoa Radiant Lotion, which has cocoa butter as well as ingredients to make the moisture go deeper than the outer layer of skin. This is a bit lighter than other cocoa butter body treatments, such as those by Palmer. However, we were pleased to see that the lotion gave long lasting moisture. We weren’t huge fans of the scent, but this is an excellent formula for those who want a lot of moisture without a heavy feel. We’re also pretty excited to try their newest product – Spray & Go Moisturizer.
Tip: If you have extremely dry skin and lotion doesn’t seem to do the trick, try putting on lotion and then use a light layer of gel oil on top. The oil will keep all the moisture from evaporating from your skin.
