I'm very particular about lotions, mostly because of the scents (half of which make me sneeze myself silly), but also because some of the dry skin applications on the market are just plain greasy.

Ever the sceptic, I bought a tiny little trial size tube of Gold Bond Ultimate Healing Body Lotion at WalMart. I think it's a wonderful idea for reputable companies to offer trial sizes to begin with, and also I knew my mountain man husband with his rough hands would use up what I didn't should I despise the stuff (or sneeze).

What a feel to this lotion. It's thick going on, but comforting, cooling and not a bit greasy. I used it for three consecutive days (or rather, applied at night before bed) and the product worked just as claimed. I have my hands in water quite a bit, and apart from that, they've always had a tendency to be dry (and chapped) anyway.

There is a fragrance to Gold Bond Ultimate Healing lotion, but it's subtle and in its own way a little comforting, too.

This is a product I will fork over the extra dollar or two for, since a little goes such a long way.

Work well done by a long-established trustworthy company!

Oh gosh, I love Shea Butter. What I have right now is with aloe (which I love as well). I'll have to look for the Shea infused. :)

I keep a tube of this w/Shea Butter in my guest bath. My guests seem to really like it.

Definitely keep it in mind next Fall and Winter, my friend. It really does work. (and you'll have the same bottle of it for the duration! Bonus! :) )

I have problems with dry skin, especially in the winter. I'll have to keep this stuff in mind!
