I've used a number of in-shower oils and lotions, but this one is the best. Rinses ok, doesn't make the shower (or my hair where it touches my shoulders) greasy, but the consistency is thin; if your skin is very dry you may want to supplement with lotion.

This is awesome skincare, and it baffles me that stores carry every other item from Alba, but not this. I just moved to a different neighborhood, and I had to buy it here, because every single drug store I went to (large or small) had every other Alba product but this. ???? (My old neighborhood was a bit far for me to travel to buy it). The oil is light, has a wonderful gentle warm fragrance, and it gives me the moisture that my skin needs. The best way to use it is to rub it into your skin right after a shower, when your skin is still damp. What that does is trap the moisture and penetrates the way a cream would never do. Once you try oil, you'll never use cream again! I started using it because creams - no matter how dense were simply not helping my skin - my hands would be dry in minutes, and the cream didn't penetrate and heal other areas that began to be painful from dryness. As soon as I began using this, those problems were cured. Sometimes if I need some extra hand care, I'll use a little of the oil in the middle of the day. It smells wonderful and really WORKS (better than the Neutrogena "Sailor's" super strong hand cream) - remember to rub it into your skin while your hands are still damp. I recommend this as the De Facto skin moisture care product!

This review is from: Alba Botanica Kukui Nut Organic Body Oil, 8.5-Ounce Bottle (Pack of 2) (Health and Beauty)

This is exactly what my title says: a wonderful light body oil. It goes on light, spreads nice and evenly, absorbs quickly, and doesn't leave you feeling sticky or oily. It also has a very pleasant, very light scent.

My skin tends to be a little on the dry side, and is very sensitive to changes in weather and such, yet this oil works very well for me. It keeps my skin from drying out, keeps it looking healthy and even, and gives me a pretty, natural-looking sheen. HOWEVER, this is NOT for extremely dry or damaged skin.

If your skin is chapped or cracked, you'll need something much heavier than this. Try a heavier oil (Oils of Aloha has a wonderful kukui oil that saves my hands when they crack) or perhaps a body butter. Shea butter works wonders for really dry skin. Tree Hut makes wonderful butters and lotions with shea, and without parabens or DM DM hydantoin!

Alba Botanica also has a few "body creams" that may work as well. I have yet to try these myself, but they're very likely just as wonderful as all their other products, several of which I use on a daily basis and LOVE.
