You
know how some times your life just seems to explode and you just have
to let go and ride it out? This past week as been one of those weeks.
Work and personal stuff just seemed to erupt into a torrent of
insanity that mixed and meshed together and I was just trying to keep
my head above water. So, what I'm trying to say is, sorry for not
posting Thursday and it wasn't because I forgot. I just had run out
of buffer and my life was not allowing me to sit down and write a
blog post.
Anyway,
let's get to it. Bioré's
Body Deli Body Cream in Rose and Herbs (しっとり/moist
type).
Japan's
winters may not be as drying as other places, but when one compares
it to the oppressive humidity we all suffer through here in the
summer, it seems to be far drier than any other winter I've
experienced. And maybe it's just me, but Japanese people don't seem
to have the desire to drench their skin in lotion and oils to parch
the skin.
How
I miss 450 ml bottles of lotion for reasonable prices (or at all)!
For the first few years, when I went to Kokura every weekend, I would
always swing by the Body Shop in Riverwalk to get a tub of body
butter. But the price tag is a bit hefty for something you're using a
generous amount of everyday. And these days I don't get to Kokura or
even Fukuoka all that often. So I hunted for something that would
quench my skin's thirst better than the skin milks that seem to swamp
Japanese skin care shelves.
Enter
Bioré's Body Deli Body Cream!
There are three types, とてもしっとり/really
moist, しっとり/moist,
and さっぱり/refreshed.
I've just started using the しっとり/moist
lotion. It has avocado oil, wild rose oil, and olive oil (also
glycerin? Is that a thing now?). Recently I've started really getting
into avocado oil (I just used up a avocado toner sampler from Skin
Food – love!) in beauty products. But this was actually just a
really great coincidence.
I
can't say I'm super crazy about the smell, I'm not a fan of rose
scented things – especially the sweet rose scent Japan seems to be
so into. However the way it leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated
more than makes up for it!
What
about you? Do you get dry skin come winter? Have you tried any of
Bioré's Body Deli's line?
Hope you're having a fabulous weekend!
