Be Classy, Not Ashy! By: Tracey - Guest Blogger and SoC Follower



My dry skin issues are notorious! Without proper hydration my skin begins to itch and sometimes crack. This has made me a slave to lathering lotion religiously over my body after each shower and several times throughout the day on my hands and arms (legs and feet during the summer). Thanks to SOC creator Tiffany, I was introduced to St. Ives' Oatmeal and Shea Butter lotion earlier this summer and gave up my trusted Vaseline Intensive Care. It's smooth and creamy with a delightful scent. I was pleased. But this past weekend, I discovered something new.

Burt's Bees Lemon & Vitamin E Bath and Body Oil works wonderfully! It's an all-natural oil made from the best ingredients nature has to offer.  The organic ingredients help prevent irritating my sensitive Eczema prone skin. After showering, I applied the oil to my damp skin and was hit with the refreshing and zestful smell of lemons! The scent is subtle enough to not overpower. Unfortunately, it doesn't linger on the body long. I've tried various oils over the years and what I found was that within an hour or so after application, my skin would be dry again. Not so with Burt's Bees. My skin remained hydrated throughout the day. Not a threat of ash in sight! No reapplication needed! Nor is it sticky or greasy!

I've tried lip balms by BB before to satisfaction. This body oil is another keeper from their line.I found out today that it won the 2008 Beauty With a Conscience Award! Yep, I believe this little bottle of oil will remain in rotation for quite a while:-)

Be Beautiful.   Be Confident.   Be Unstoppable.

  1. I also have very dry skin and am a big fan of Burt's Bees products. I use the Radiance face cream daily and it keeps my face moisturized and glowing all day. It's $20 for a small bottle but it lasts about a month, as long as you are only using it for your face.

    Loving the blog Tiffany!
