Ladies, I have stumbled upon a miracle for my hair. I am a loyal Jergens and Vaseline Intensive Care lotion consumer and always have one or the other in my arsenal of beauty products. Yes, I've tried the lotion gamut from Origins to Lush, Bath and Body Works, The Body Shop and beyond, but nothing works like my trusty drugstore standbys.
So I tried this new Vaseline Intensive Care lotion in a white bottle (with a blue and white label) that says "Advanced Healing, Fragrance-Free Skin Protectant Lotion, Proven Moisturizers & Vitamin E, Hydrates and Heals Dry Skin" on the front. Keep in mind that this is NOT the standard original formula.
What I've noticed is this stuff really works on moisturizing my skin! It has NO greasy after-feel and leaves my skin SO incredibly moist all day. MOIST, NOT GREASY OR FILMY.
In a pinch, I'll use body lotion in my hair. I wash and condition my hair, then scrunch a mixture of this lotion with a little pure aloe vera gel in my wet hair and let air-dry. OMG, the all-day moisture!!! AND NO GREASE OR OIL SITTING ON TOP! I tried using a little more of just this lotion alone on wet hair to replace the amount of aloe vera gel, and woah! My hair stays hydrated all day.
I usually read ingredients beforehand, but I was in a rush and didn't have time to be so anal-retentive, so I just used it and called it a day. But when I read the ingredients afterwards... This Vaseline Intensive Care lotion has glycerin, vitamin E, collagen amino acids, and sodium PCA in it. SODIUM PCA, y'all!!!
Now, for those purists out there who get all up in arms over 'cones and petroleum, I'm going to warn you now and tell you that this product has both dimethicone and petrolatum in it. We already know, some of y'all won't go anywhere near these ingredients. But we don't need to hear anyone's mouth about this again, so save it before I have to give you a
If you don't like these ingredients, you don't have to use it.
But for those who are willing to give this lotion a try, it really works for hydrating your hair all day. I've been using it for months now with NO buildup (I clarify once a month anyway) and only positive effects.
Most lotions have glycerin, but most do NOT have sodium PCA. I'm wondering if this is the magic ingredient, or a combination of all of the hydrating ingredients.
Anyway, just thought I'd pass this tip along. Again, no one HAS to try it. But if you'd like to, I give it as much a thumbs-up as MSM.
