Best Bet: Vaseline Intensive Care Healing Serum

Credit: StyleBistro

Moisturizer is my number one desert island product.  Hands down.  Curious about what yours would be, I tweeted out the question and received responses like: mascara, lip balm and yes, moisturizer!  So some of us are on the same page.  Of course, when you walk into the drugstore, you're faced with the mega moisturizer shelf of promises and luckily for you, it's my job to test them all out so you don't have to waste a single penny. My latest post-shower obsession works to moisturize and heal even the roughest skin.  Seriously.

There's nothing more disappointing than a "moisturizer" that sits on top of your skin or maybe even worse, one that smells like old-lady perfume.  Seriously?  As you can imagine, I've been putting quite a few brands to the test this winter and found one I really love and am sticking with – Vaseline Intensive Care Healing Serum.

Yes, a body serum.  Instead of temporarily soothing and moisturizing my skin, it actually corrects the problem by healing any cracked areas (like my feet, ew, I know) and ensuring that the rest of my skin remains hydrated and protected.  A triple threat for sure.  With a combination of ingredients that help to heal the skin by penetrating to the deepest layers to replenish lipids and Vaseline Jelly to help to prevent any moisture loss, this one's a winner.

The new Vaseline Intensive Care Healing Serum is available in Deep Repair, Radiance Restore and Advanced Healing at drugstores for $8.49.

Holiday Gift Idea & Giveaway: Fresh Sake Ritual Set

I love my sushi and sake, but I like it even more when it comes from Fresh.  Fresh makes my absolute favorite body care lines. They look and more importantly feel like luxury.  That's why I'm including their Sake Ritual Set, a $110 value for $95 in my holiday gift guide. The set includes: a Sake Bath that detoxifies the body and helps to even out the skin tone, a Sake Petite Candle and Cranberry Pinot Noir Oval Soap.  I cannot even begin to stress enough how much I love Fresh soaps! They're wrapped so nicely you don't even want to use them, but after you get over using them as a beautiful bathroom display, you find yourself lathered in the most enriching scents.

Want one?  Happy Holidays to you from BeautySweetSpot!  I'm giving a set away.  Comment below by dishing about your most coveted products.

A winner will be chosen at random on Sunday, December 12th.  Good luck!
