Skin Love with Ulta

Welcome back everyone! Today I want to talk about some of the shower and body products that I have been loving recently. My motto has always been “skin first, makeup second” which is why I don’t wear makeup at least 50% of the time. You all know I pay a lot of attention to my face, but I never really talk about the body scrubs and lotions that I like. I think it’s especially important to share the wealth because I use some crazy affordable products that work absolute magic. The best part about these is you can find them all at Ulta (read about my love affair with Ulta and why I shop there first here). So without further adieu, let’s dive in to some of these body scrubs, washes, and lotions!

Michaela got me hooked on Nivea this winter, and it has been so pleasantly surprising! It all started with this Essentially Enriched Body Lotion. It’s soft and smooth and easy to apply, but what really sealed the deal was that the first day I wore it two people told me how soft my legs were! (I should explain that I was wearing destroyed jeans and happened to be sitting around a bunch of people who felt the need to play with the holes in my jeans on the aforementioned day). Since I had so much luck with that lotion, I went back for the Cocoa Butter In Shower Lotion. I love that you don’t have to worry about the lotion drying since you rinse it off in the shower, it’s perfect for days that you have to throw your jeans on right out of the shower! I also love the smell of cocoa butter, and the one I got was particularly formulated for dry to very dry skin (there’s also an in shower body lotion for normal to dry skin). Lastly, we both went in to try the Sun-Kissed Radiance Gradual Tanner and Body Lotion to try to get a little faux tan going on that winter white skin of ours. I have never used a self tanner before, so I’ve been a little nervous, even though I chose to go with Nivea based on how much success I had experienced with their other products. I love that this one moisturizes your skin as well, and the smooth easy application ensures that it doesn’t streak.

The next line I love for skincare is eos. This body lotion is my staple, it absorbs quickly and makes my skin feel so soft. I also love this shave cream. The shea butter base is packed with nutrients and vitamins so it keeps your legs smooth and soft for 24 hours. The best part is it doesn’t rust all over your shower. Major win!

The last lotion I love from Ulta is the Soap & Glory Righteous Butter. It is a smooth and soft Fairy Godmother for those of us with very dry skin!

My go to body wash has always been Neutrogena’s Pink Grapefruit Body Wash. It’s not only affordable, but effective; and I always feel refreshed and clean after I use it. (I actually need a new bottle, which is why it’s not pictured here!)

The latest addition to my skincare has been this shea sugar scrub from Tree Hut. Holy cow you guys. This stuff is the bee’s knees. It smells great and does wonders exfoliating your skin.
