Desert Essence Body Washes and Lotions Will Have You Dreaming of the Tropics

 Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

As a native Californian, and a resident of Los Angeles, I have been accustomed to living in a temperate climate. Therefore, when the weather does cool down and begin to resemble an actual "season" it always comes as a bit of a surprise– though it really shouldn't. When the air becomes cold and crisp I pull out my richer body creams and body butters and leave an assortment of them on my nightstand as a daily reminder to use them on a regular basis. 

I also fill my shower with lots of delicious body washes to start my day off with a lovely sensory experience in a steamy essence filled shower before I have to bundle up and face the day. 

My three new discoveries come from a line that I have used for many years, but somehow I never tried any of Desert Essence's luscious body washes and body lotions, and what a mistake that was! Their wonderfully hydrating body washes and body lotions are perfect for the cold weather because they provide excellent hydration for the skin.

Island Mango Hand and Body Lotion is a deliciously scented warm sweet mango that is pleasant to use and richly moisturizing. I love using it on my whole body before going to sleep because it allows me to drift off into a sweet slumber enveloped by this delightful tropical scent.
