We’re fast approaching dry, flaky skin season (sexy!) and Vaseline_® has allowed me to quantify just how much I need to combat the effects of the elements with their new Vaseline_® Intensive CareTM range of lotions that go beyond basic moisturization (think of them as the anti pumpkin spice latte of the body lotion realm) to deeply hydrate and heal dry skin.

As you can see from my dry skin test using the Vaseline_® test strips (above), there is a little fiesta of streaks and flakes, indicating my skin’s moisture levels aren’t optimal. However, post-application, the little circle indicates a positive change in hydration, thanks to the lotion’s blend of humectants (which draw water into the skin) and healing micro-droplets of everyone’s go-to: Vaseline_® Jelly. Together, they address the gamut of moisturization needs so well, the lotion is clinically proven to heal very dry skin in five days.

Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair Fragrance Free Lotion retails for $5 at drugstore.com.
