With winter looming ominously ahead, many of you may have started to feel that itch. No, I don't mean the urge to jet off to a tropical island. I'm referring to increasingly parched skin that itches as badly as a Boy Scout's limbs after a tumble in poison ivy.
Fortunately, you don't have to start from scratch (or with scratch)! The new St. Ives Naturally Smooth Body Lotion ($4.99) quickly hydrates skin, not only providing greater comfort but also increasing softness, improving texture and restoring a vibrant youthfulness's to dull skin. The key to this lotion's effectiveness: its Alpha Hydroxy Acid-rich formula.
What in the world is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid, you ask? Well, these acids are naturally derived from plant sugars (particularly fruits like pineapple, peach, and papaya), and they penetrate the skin, unclogging pores and exfoliating skin by promoting cellular turnover.
Not only does the St. Ives Naturally Smooth Body Lotion deliver radiant, supple skin, but it won't make a dent on your bank account thanks to its $5 price tag.
