Mario Badescu is one of those skincare lines with so many treasures from which to choose that the initial reaction is often the desire to try everything that sounds appropriate to the needs of your skin. Their formulas are effective, a joy to use, and their prices are affordable making the whole line infinitely approachable. 

When it comes to moisturizing the skin, Mario Badescu offers a wide range of products, but I thought that I would share my favorites. This is all the more appropriate given that it is winter, but these products are perfectly suited to year round use.

Mario Badescu Walnut Body Lotion: This is one of the most heavenly body lotions that I have ever used, and this is no exaggeration! It is a lightweight, yet intensely emollient and rich lotion that is creamy and fast absorbing. It makes dry, parched skin ultra soft and silky smooth in record time, and it is intensely hydrating and nourishing. It has a light nutty scent that is absolutely delectable, but it does fade quickly, and therefore will not pose a problem for people with scent sensitivities.

A deliciously scented, luxuriously rich and creamy body lotion formulated to help moisturize rough, dry skin. Walnut Oil keeps the moisture levels at a maximum all day and night.
