Did you know: more than one in three (36%) women admit to cleaning out their medicine cabinet less than once every two years. Heck, 13% of women admit to not ever cleaning out their medicine cabinets.
*raises hand*
When I read the results from a recent medicine cabinet survey, conducted by Vaseline, I knew that I was guilty of this. To be honest, my medicine cabinet isn’t someplace I go to store much (I blame this on sharing a bathroom and being over protective of my beauty goods…I’m selfish). After reading that over one-third of women admitted to having more than 20 products stored in their medicine cabinet, I decided to not be part of that 34% of women (or at least try). It was kind of shocking to see just how much I kept but didn’t use. So old makeup was thrown out, gross lotions tossed, and I was left with a simpler, decluttered space.
The question turned into why did I have so much crap (besides the fact that I’m a beauty hoarder?). Nearly two-thirds of women own more than one body lotion, and almost one-fourth (23%) say they own more than four. I can tell you why I owned so many: I needed one to provide moisture (no one likes to be ashy) but one to smell good (duh) and one that contained sun protection. I mixed, matched, and moved on quicker before I could spell my name.
When I was given the all improved Vaseline® Total Moisture® lotion to try out, I was thrilled.
It applies evenly and gives me the moisture my dry skin craves. I’m always a bit hesitant to test out new lotions during the summer due to the extreme heat but this Vaseline Total Moisture lotion is a dream. It’s non-greasy (amen!), absorbs quickly into skin, and combines pure oat extract and Stratys-3 multi-layer moisture. This allows the lotion to not only moisturize the top level of your skin but really penetrate. Leaves you feelin’ good, while lookin’ good!
The rest of the products:
- Vaseline Petroleum Jelly: who didn’t grow up with this? My mother spent my childhood slathering this on since it was a welcome relief from dry skin
- Neosporin: my niece comes over often and inherited my clumsiness
- Makeup: foundations, powders, lipstick and blush — these are my moms since, you know, I share a bathroom
- Razor clips: my brother thinks he’s a barber
- SIMPLE Replenishing Rich Moisturizer: I’m super excited to have received this product. New to the States, this face moisturizer is gentle and great for sensitive skin. I’ve been applying it at night since it doesn’t contain any fragrance. Considering I sleep with a fan on my face, I’ve been known to wake up with dehydrated skin but this keeps me well moisturized.
