Which lotion is better for dry skin?
Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair Lotion is my go-to lotion—I always use it right before I go to sleep at night. I always take a travel-size portion of it with me when I’m away from home. On a recent trip, I didn’t pack quite enough of it, so I thought I would try out the CVS drugstore version of this lotion, just for kicks.
This conditioner helps smoothen your hair, but its fragrance is a bit overpowering and it includes some irritating preservatives.
Whenever I’m traveling, I like to pop over to the local drugstore to see if there are any interesting haircare products to try. I normally try to use fragrance-free haircare products, but vacation is a time when I’m forced to be a bit more flexible about what products I use—sadly, it’s pretty challenging to find fragrance-free products on the road.
This sunscreen has a very high percentage of zinc oxide (24.08%!) and doesn't irritate your eyes when you're working out. However, its thick, overly waxy consistency makes it a pain to apply evenly.
On a recent trip, I bought a bottle of Coppertone Sport Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 specifically for my outdoor workouts. True to its “Sport” claim, this sunscreen offered long-lasting coverage, even when I was sweating bullets (unfortunately, I sweat profusely when I work out). Although it’s a decent sunscreen that will do in a pinch, I think there are better mineral sunscreens out there, so I will probably not repurchase this after I’ve used up the bottle.
