Vaseline Cocoa Butter
Deep Conditioning Body Lotion

 

I'm not a huge fan of cocoa butter type lotions.  I used them all during both of my pregnancies and found the old wives tale that cocoa butter stops you from getting stretch marks, untrue.   Since my kids are older and I don't plan on getting pregnant, I didn't keep cocoa butter lotions in the house.

Until.....

A few weeks ago when I was getting a new tattoo and the tattoo artist said that he recommends using cocoa butterinstead of A&D ointment on tattoos now because it allows the tattoo to breathe while staying moisturized.   I had never heard this before and actually read a bit about it on the internet before I ran up to CVS and bought Vaseline Cocoa Butter Deep Conditioning Body Lotion. 

The Vaseline Cocoa Butter Deep Conditioning Body Lotion was priced great at $5.19 for a 24.5 fl. oz bottle with a pump top.  That's a lot of lotion for a small price.

The Vaseline Cocoa Butter Deep Conditioning Body Lotion:

  • Helps to even skintone
  • Leaves skin smooth
  • Absorbs quickly
  • Smells great
  • Hydrates skin
  • Doesn't leave  a greasy feel

I applied Vaseline Cocoa Butter Deep Conditioning Body Lotion to my cleansed tattoo three times a day, as instructed and it stayed moisturized and healed quickly.  Since I already had the lotion out, I also started applying it to my hands and legs, that tend to be dry and found that I am a fan of cocoa butter and it has more uses than just being used on stretch marks!

I have a sun on my back shoulder blade years ago. This last time I got the word "Always" on the back of my neck in a pretty fancy schmancy writing. :) I'm ink addicted.

I got the word "Always" on the back of my neck. It's perty.

I'm in my 6th pregnancy and during my 2nd someone introduced me to a lotion or cream called Mother's Friend or something like that. It really did prevent stretchmarks. Believe me, I have carried triplets to 34 weeks and thought my stomach blossomed out there I didn't have excessive stretch marks. I still feel really comfortable in a swimsuit, sometimes a bikini (at home, not in public). Now taking care of tattoos I don't know anything about ;+)

You did get the tattoo! I knew you and Buggheart were getting them. She posted a picture of hers on Twitter. What did you get?

What kind of tattoo did you get? I have three: a gerbera daisy, a sun and a dragon :)

I don't think ANYTHING works on stretch marks. :( How'd the tattoo come out?
