5 Favorite Moisturizers

As much as I love living in Canada, I have a tendency to get sick of our cold winters before they even start and my skin does, too. And although signs of spring are slowly starting to appear, I am still going through moisturizers left, right and center. Today, I thought I would share my current favorite moisturizers. 



(1) Bath & Body Works Coconut Lime Verbena Body Lotion - I may love living in Canada, but I also love to travel and during the cold Canadian winters there is nothing I crave more than tropical paradise. Since I cannot travel all winter, this is my go-to body lotion to bring a little bit of tropical paradise to even the coldest winter day. Bath and Body Works is one of my guilty pleasures and I cannot pass by the store without going in, and usually indulging in a mini-shopping spree and products like this are the reason why. Made with Vitamin E, Jojoba and Shea butter, this body lotion not only hydrates my skin, leaving it soft, smooth and satisfied, but it also smells absolutely amazing. Now, are you ready for some bad news? Bath and Body Works products are constantly changing and the last time I was in the store, I was only able to find Coconut Lime Verbena in a hand soap and wall flower. But don't worry, I did smell the 'replacement', Coconut Lime Breeze, and it is just as wonderful.

(2) LaSenza Body Kiss Indulgent Swirl Cream - Kiss Me, Cupcake - This was actually an impulse buy quite some time ago that got lost in the sea that is my moisturizer collection. Recently, while doing some much needed organizing, I re-discovered this and I am happy to say, I have no regrets about this impulsive purchase. I love the hint of shimmer that this lotion provides upon application, and I was impressed at how long this subtle shimmer lasted. Of course, it also smells amazing - in fact, if you have a sweet tooth, you may think it smells good enough to eat!

(3) Olay Quench Plus Touch of Sun Body Lotion & Gradual Sunless Tanner - Although I love Olay, I did not have high expectations for a $6 gradual sunless tanner, and that is probably for the best. If you are looking for a noticeable bronze, this may not be the product for you as it provides more of a shimmer or a subtle glow. However, I recommend this lotion if you are looking for a product to quench your skin's thirst this winter.

(4) Bath & Body Works White Citrus Body Lotion - Like I said earlier, I love Bath and Body Works, so it should come as no surprise that another moisturizer from Bath and Body Works has made this list. Similar to Coconut Lime Verbena, this White Citrus moisturizer contains Vitamin E, Jojoba and Shea butter and will leave your skin feeling soft and hydrated.

(5) Shea Cashmere Hand Cream from True Blue Spa - If you have experienced a winter in Canada you know that hand cream is essential. The funny thing about this is that I know next to nothing about it, it was a gift (note: this is not a sponsored post, this hand cream was a gift from a family member) and I fell in love with it instantly. From the smell to how soft it leaves my hands, I love everything about this hand cream.

What moisturizers are currently at the top of your list?
