Sue, have you seen any black seed oil in your walks thru town? I cant use any nut products but the black seed oil works really nice for patches of dryness. And it is cheap

But I cant get it here.

Raw Shea butter on the body and Oil of Olay on the face...

Shea butter for the summer still works, wait for your skin to absorb it before going out in the sun

Your skin sucks it up!

Jojoba oil and coconut oil are lighter and very good too.

Re: Moisturizer/Face Lotion

the things that i did to my skin when i was younger

I went on a 7 day cruise one time, and the last day is usually at sea coming back to lauderdale port. suh mi decide seh mi a guh pan the TOP deck guh lay dung inna mi 2 piece fi brown up likkle.


let's just say from then on mi wear sunscreen in the summer when mi can membah, cause my skin will peel/burn in the sun juss suh it guh.

also if you have a scar and it is exposed to excess sun, it will harden and look

lets just say that if you dont wear sunscreen now, you will pay for it later to some extent.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: MrsBlue</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> <span style="color: #3333FF">Tanya, I don't know about it being too heavy. One of the reasons I want to change from the Oil of Olay is that it feels too light and watery. I've never been a lotion user, it seems like it evaporates like water.

Kia, I've heard that Sensaria products are good, but they seem expensive. I've never checked, though. </span> </div></div> </div></div> <span style="color: #3333FF">Maybe I should have said watery instead of light. I've never liked lotion for my body because it seems like my skin just sucks it up and after a few minutes it's like I didn't put on anything at all. I've always used heavier stuff, vaseline/petroleum jelly as a child, cocoa butter from teen years and then when I discovered shea butter... I love shea butter, it makes my skin never dry.

I'm having the same issue with lotion on my face. I use the lotion, and then I sometimes rub a little shea butter after. But I don't know if all of that oil is a good idea for my face.


Kia, re sunscreen, the Olay lotion has sunscreen. That's one reason I use it.

ETA But I only use the lotion on my face, I don't use sunscreen anywhere else. Need to use it on my left arm sometimes, though.</span>

Re: Moisturizer/Face Lotion

ok ms blue

just be careful about the things you rubbin pan yuh face. anything super heavy may just end up clogging the pores. you want it to be moisturized but not greasy.

also night moisturizers usually will be a little heavier than the day ones.

Re: Moisturizer/Face Lotion


Thanks Black Star. I bought some organic coconut oil for cooking the other day. I should scoop some out and put in a next jar to use on my skin as well.

Just be on the lookout. If too many birds come lurking, run back in the house and wash it off, cuz it could mean that you smell like fried dumpling or fried plantains.
