Were You At The Lake All Summer, Or A Spa?
When I make the summer migration to the lake, I try to simplify life as much as possible. Nothing extra — no frills. I put a pair of stud diamond earrings in my ear, maybe one necklace for the summer and that’s it. Perfume? Not happening up here. But still, a girl needs something to keep her feeling like a girl, even when she is surrounded by turtles, snakes, raccoons and boys who need their fishing poles untangled.
But now, maybe I have a secret weapon. bodycology has just released a NEW line of Body Washes and Body Lotions, bodycology rich&creamy, that not only luxuriously moisturize, but also provide the long-lasting scent you would expect from perfume that comes in a bottle.
First, right out of the box, I jumped in the shower to find that that the designers of the bodycology bottles were also thinking about me.
The bottle is designed to stand upside down, with the flip-cap on the bottom, making it quick and easy to get the product out of the bottle — no fumbling around in the shower trying to shake the product down in the bottle. The Body Wash comes out of the bottle nice and thick, with a peak from the squirt… very nice and luxurious. This thick consistency built up a nice lather, even in the hard water up here at the lake. The wash was so thick, in fact, that I even used it as a shaving lotion… and my legs, after the shave, felt smooth. The scent? Nicely understated and fresh smelling.
After my shower, I applied the bodycology rich&creamy Lotion. Unlike the Body Wash, the fragrance in the Lotion is much more powerful, and long lasting. My skin absorbed the Lotion very quickly, no stickiness, and no track lines. When I crawled into bed that night, my legs were still smooth.
Next, I put the Lotion to the test. Could it heal the tough, callused skin on the bottoms of my feet? I was hoping that the combination of jojoba extract and petrolatum would protect my feet from the wear and tear that my feet endure up here in the summer. Right before bedtime, I washed my feet clean, and then I applied the bodycology Lotion to the rough calloused soles of my feet. Then, I tucked them into white cotton socks, and let the Lotion do its work all night long. In the morning, I pulled off my socks, and rubbed my fingers along my new baby-soft feet. bodycology, you passed the test. My feet weren’t just soft, but they actually felt “healed.”
Usually, when I arrive back home from the lake, I am in need of intense skin repair after the rigors of the hard water, sun, lake and outdoor work in the garden. This summer, however, thanks to bodycology’s NEW line of Body Washes and Body Lotions, I might just look, and feel, as if I’ve spent the summer at a lavish spa.
