Palmer's

Living in Malaysia, a well known hot and humid country with sun shining bright nearly all year round can do serious damage to skin. While I am not completely anal about sun protection (I know I should take more precaution against the sun) I do religiously use body lotion to keep my skin moisturise.

I guess I have my mum to thank for getting me into this habit, she made sure I use it ever since I was a wee young one. Back in the days, she would slather Johnson&Johnson pink bottle baby lotion all over me and oh boy! I hated it with a passion. I've never liked the smell of it till today and I have always felt it leaves a slightly sticky residue for the longest time. But as I grew up, I discovered Palmer's body lotion range and I fell completely in love with their Olive Butter Formula with Vitamin E. I also used their Cocoa Butter Formula which is specifically designed to combat the ever dreaded stretch marks back when I was pregnant with Josh and now. These lotion are brilliant in keeping my skin soft and while I know genetics and many other factors come into play in regards with stretch marks, I would like to believe that Palmer's had a hand in helping me avoiding it completely!

Two Palmer's lotion that I am currently using.

I swear by this in keeping my skin in the best condition.

Ingredients.

The lotion is light green in colour with a very faint scent. I can't quite explain the scent, sorry but it is certainly not unpleasant for me. Lotion absorbs really quickly and does not leave behind a tacky, sticky residue.

My best friend during pregnancy!

Ingredients.

A white lotion that smells like chocolate with a hint of butterscotch. Absolutely heavenly! This too absorbs very quickly and it has been great to keeping stretch mark away.
