Rec Your Leg Lotion

This is probably totally psychological for me, but a while back I started using Jergens' shave minimizing lotion. Then it was discontinued, and I discovered Aveeno's Positively Smooth shave minimizing lotion. Now I can't find it anywhere! The only other lotion of this kind I have been able to find is something by Nivea, but it includes a self-tanner and smells funny to me. The lotion I use for my hands (Curel original fomula) feels streaky on my legs to me, and I just want something that feels good on my legs. Does anyone use a particular kind of lotion for their legs that they would rec.? TIA!

Re: Rec Your Leg Lotion

  • I use Aveeno's oatmeal lotion for my all-over lotion.  I need a heavy moisturizer and it achieves it without having a really heavy, damp, sticky feel like most deep moisturizers I've tried.  I admit that immediately after putting it on, it's a bit "wet" but the all-day assurance is well worth it for me.  Plus a little goes a long way.

     I also use Bath&Body.  I love their lotion and would use it exclusively if I didn't need a heavier moisturizer.

  • I love Lubriderm's Shea & Coco Butter lotion, it's also a heavy moisturizer and doesn't seem to give me as bad of a "greasy" feeling throughout the day
  • I use Olay Firming Reviver lotion.  I love that it has a little sparkle in it (makes my legs always look smooth/shaved) and it lasts all day.  It also feels really clean - not greasy at all.
  • BTW, they still have that Aveeno you like on drugstore.com!

    Here's a link for $10 off $50, if you feel like stocking up!  Stick out tongue

  • Thanks, ladies! And thanks, RockThis! I had checked drugstore.com about a week or so ago and it wasn't available, but it's good to see that it is now! I don't know if I'll order that or try something else but the suggestions are greatly appreciated either way!
  • I really like Lubriderm.  It doesn't feel greasy like PP mentioned and I think it does a good job moisturizing.

  • I'm a fan of Olay Quench. I used Aveeno for a long time, but still had issues with dry skin and razor burn!  The olay seems to have done the trick and its not too sticky in the summer humidity.  Its also great for dry hands.  I wash my hands a million times a day and it doesn't leave a greasy residue.
