Fleta's Beauty Secret

I know you think I am just being funny, but this is a bona fide beauty tip. I buy this cream, Equate Dry Skin Cream with added moisturizers at Wal-Mart. It is a heavy cream like the old fashioned cold cream Granny Gaddy used. It is greasy. I use it on my lips in place of lip balm. I use it at least once in the morning and once in the evening on my lips and hands. Most days, I use it much more often than that. Since I started putting it on my lips everyday (over 6 months now), I have not had chapped lips and I do not have dry hands like I did. Sometimes I use it on my dry feet, but it is greasy, so you have to put on socks over it or just use it a bedtime. It really works.

It cost $7.50 and this is my second jar of it. The first tub I bought 2 or 3 years ago and I think it cost about $3.50 then. The label says compare to Eucerin Moisturizing creme. If you want to by that brand, it will set you back twice as much. I compared the ingredients in this cream, the Eucerine creme and other moisturizers around it on the Wal-Mart shelf. I think the ingredient that makes the difference is Petrolatum. I think that may be the ingredient in Vaseline Petroleum Jelly. That is probably why it is greasy and also why it actually works, as opposed to most moisturizers.

I wonder if Mark Spritz knows about this product?
