Jergens Overnight Repair Nightly Restoring Moisturizer Review

My husband has very dry, chapped, and cracked hands. We live in Chicago and winters can be quite harsh here. I bought the Jergens Overnight Repair moisturizer, especially for him. It's hard to get him to take care of his skin because he doesn't like to use anything on his body except for soap. But his hands got to a point where he felt like he needed to do something. They were super dry, cracked, and started bleeding. He's been using it for a week now and we definitely saw some change. His hands look and feel smoother, and hydrated.

Jergens has a lot of moisturizers aimed at different needs of people and Overnight Repair was launched 3 years back for really damaged wintertime skin repair. They claim to repair a week's worth of damage in a night, and the product does seem to be working like they say.

The cream is a little thick but not as thick as body butter and neither as liquidy as lotion. Its consistency is somewhere in between. It glides on smoothly and is very easy to apply. It also sinks fast into the skin, leaving a hydrated look/feel. It is not greasy at all. And the scent is not overwhelming, it is a very fresh and pleasant smell.

The directions of use and claims are clearly given on the back of the bottle. Just apply it all over your body after your shower.

I'm no expert but the ingredients list looks good as far as I can tell and we have had no allergic reactions so far.

Get it if you like applying moisturizers to your body and are looking for some good hydration plus healing for your dry skin during winter. It does work is all I can say coz I've seen it work on my husband's dry and cracked hands. I think I'm gonna repurchase it once I finish this bottle. I have also used the Jergens shea butter moisturizer before and loved it. I have to say the brand does come out with some good ones.

Overall Rating: A+

April 2012 Favorites and Regrets

I can't believe April has already come to an end. I can't say I'm sorry either because this means less rain, more blossoms, and summer in another month. So without further ado, I present to you this month's beauty and makeup favorites. For those I've reviewed I have linked them to the blog post. For the rest of them, I left short reviews of why I did or didn't like them. As you can see there are quite a few things I've been liking this month. The list of all things beauty I've been loving/using frequently are: (in left to right order) Aussie Instant Freeze Hair Spray Extreme Hold: This product is just wow. The windy city can be brutal to hair and this product is really a blessing. It's easy to use and smells great. It's not too expensive and comes in a huge bottle. Clairol Herbal Essences Hydralicious Reconditioning Conditioner Jergens Shea Butter Deep Conditioning Moisturizer: I first got introduced to this lotion when I was in India and

Top 12 Things to Buy from Kruidvat own Brand

We've been seeing inflation here in the Netherlands since October last year. It's just plain ridiculous to see something that I paid 5 euros for a few months back is now around 7 euros or maybe more. That doesn't sound like a lot but when you buy about 50 things (food, groceries, toiletries, etc.) for your house, it all adds up and overall you are paying 50 to 100 euros more than what you were paying previously. But unfortunately, not a lot of us have seen this increase in our pay and many people have even lost jobs during and after the covid crisis. So it's only natural for us to want to save our money wherever we can. But that said we also do not want to compromise on quality. And that is where the idea for this post comes from. Kruidvat is a drugstore that is similar to CVS/Walgreens in the US. Products sold here are mostly hygiene products, cleaning supplies, makeup, and over-the-counter medicines. I have been shopping here for hygiene products for years. By now I

Some Recent Regret Buys

In my opinion, it's not ethical blogging if we're only featuring the good and not talking about some bad products because let's face it, there are a lot of crappy products out there. And when we're not talking about them we're withholding important information and we're not being fair to our readers. In fact, it means we're being fairer to brands. It's fine if people want to earn some money through brand deals but it's really not worth it to become a sell-out. Some might say why to bother writing about bad products, why not just let them be, but I want to put the word out there about bad products too because I want to help people like me save some money. Please note that when I say "bad products" it means "products that have not worked for me". However, these products might have worked very well for some others because each of us has different skin types and tolerance for products and it's totally OK. In the past few months,
