Do you have winter skin? I sure do! Although, to be perfectly honest with you I have winter skin year round. I constantly need moisturizing lotion. I don't have extremely dry skin but I do have dry skin that sometimes gets a little itchy. Ultimately, I need some type of lotion daily.
I remember years ago meeting a woman who had the most beautiful skin I have ever seen. Literally her skin just glowed. When I asked her secret, it was plain and simple, moisturizer and lots of it. She said her skin was actually very dry and she applies lotion every day, several times a day. I also wanted to know what she used on her skin. When she told me she used the body lotion from Bath and Body Works I was very envious! Because, not only does their lotion smell devine, it was waaaayyy out of my budget. That was until, I learned a little secret and developed a very satisfying indulgent habit.
Every year in January, and again sometime in the summer, (I think) they have a fantastic sale on their 8oz. body lotions. In January, they have quite a bit of other items on sale too, but their lotions are by far the best deal.
For several years now, I have been stocking up on my favorites scents when they go on sale. This is one of the best bargains that I treat myself to yearly. I usually only spend around $20.00 (or slightly over) and this supply lasts me well until the next sale, or about a year. I sometimes might buy 1 or 2 during the summer sale because I want a different scent.
I only purchase these when they are on sale for $3.00 a bottle. That's right, you heard me correctly! In case you didn't know they really do go on sale that low! Now that is a huge bargain considering they are usually $9.50 each. It is well worth stocking up, during this sale. Here are a few of my favorites.
This scent, Cotton Blossom, is my all time favorite. I bought three of these this time.
I also enjoy this scent, Cool Citrus Basil. I purchased two of these.
This year I also decided to throw two of these in the bag. The sun-ripened raspberry has not been one of my regular purchases but I really liked it the other day, so in the bag it went. I really almost do love them all, but I often find my preferences changing from time to time. That's why I sometimes hit the summer sale too.
At the check out counter they had sample bottles for $1.00 so I decided to get one of these too. They are great for keeping in the car or in your purse. They come in handy for when you need just a dab on your hands, which I usually do!
I just love this sale and thought you might too so that's why I am telling you about it. It is still going on now, but will most likely be ending very soon. You can go online and get the same deal if don't have a Bath and Body Works near you.
