Dial NutriSkin Body Lotions

The Dial NutriSkin Body Washes were a nice addition to the mass market scene. Now to complement them, Dial has  NutriSkin Body Lotions .

I think of these as a solid, basic body lotion.  Ones not fancy looking but  that work and ones you can put out for the whole family ( if you have one). The kids and men can use it , no girly pink bottle here and there  is even a Men's version.

Where the body washes had nice scents, these have   just a slight lotion smell .They moisturize well ( I tried Extra Dry Skin and Soothing), are not sticky but yet are heavy enought to get the  job done.You can easily apply and get dressed without waiting. There are 4 types and all have Dial's patent pending formula with nutrients, vitamins and minerals.

-Dry Skin- Aloe, Vitamins C,E. F and amino acids, and Omega 3 and 6.
-Extra Dry Skin-Shea butter , Omega 3 and 6, Vitamins A,C,E and F.
-Soothing-  Chamomile, Beta Glucan, Vitamins A,C, and E and Zinc.
-Men's- Magnesium, Niacinimide, Amino acids and Vitamins A,C,E.

Retail is $ 2.49 for 3 oz,  $ 4.99 for 12 oz and $6.99 for 21 oz.

Redken Nature's Rescue

Redken has been a staple in my house for almost as long as I can remember . The Mom has been a Redken user since I was a kid. While many great brands are in the rotation here now, years ago when salon brands weren't as easy to come by Redken was the main one she used and eventually so did I.  Some of the hairsprays ( for me) and the Extreme line ( for her) are still part of our beauty closet staples.

Last month a new line hit the shelves, Nature's Rescue.  Meant to be super cleansing for your hair and to remove all the impurities that can build up,  it's paraben, sulfate and silicone free.

Whats in it are aloe vera, sea algae and soy proteins. 

 The  Refreshing Detox Shampoo and  Cooling Deep Conditioner both have a cooling feel, especially the conditioner, hence the name, as well as a light ocean breeze scent.

After using , my hair  does feel very clean with plenty of body. The shampoo is low lather but works fine without it. The conditioner is a lighter one , good for normal to oily hair but very dry may need something heavier. I have to say, when I use this, I can't help think of summer. It reminds me of pools and blue skys.

In addition to the  shampoo and conditioner, the line also includes a hair polish, which is a scrub for your hair, and really helps remove any build up,  and a Sea Spray for texture.

Full line:

Nature's Rescue  Refreshing Detox Shampoo $ 16.00
Nature's Rescue Refining Sea  Polish $ 19.00
Nature's Rescue Cooling Deep Conditioner $ 17.00
Nature's Rescue Radiant Sea Spray $ 17.00

Paws and Listen from LUSH and The Vancouver Humane Society

I am happy to support LUSH's new campaign to help end sled dog races and tours in British Columbia , Canada. The new initiative is called Paws and Listen and came about after the story hit the news of the slaughtering of 100 sled dogs near Whistler, Canada last April.

Many people may not know about the cruel conditions that can happen in the dog sledding sport. Whenever in the past I have mentioned it to someone, they invariably say, those dogs are worth so much money and the handlers love them and take great care of them. Well some do, and many don't and we can't possibly always know  what goes on in the  places where racing is prevalant. It's like horse racing. Just because it's an expensive animal doesn't mean it's worth something if it doesn't perform or that people feel the need to treat an animal well to get results.  This is certainly not true in all cases , but it's good to be aware that cruelty and mistreatment are far more common than you may know.  Among other things, this is an unregulated industry, where it’s legal to shoot sled dogs without reason.

Paws and Listen encourages you to be aware and also to sign a petition on the LUSH site if you want. There are also these very cute LE Paw soaps from LUSH ( and I adore anyhting with the Paw motif). The soaps are $ 5.95 and 100% of proceeds will  go to the Vancouver Humane Society's campaign to stop sledding. The soaps are fragranced with sandalwood and citrus. They are in store only in BC, but available everywhere online.
