Not My Dad's Lotion

I was skeptical when I opened my mail and saw Lubriderm was the item in question this month. My entire life, I have associated Lubriderm with my dad. Its what he has always used. I know the commercials always have that beautiful woman and the crocodile, but they never got through to me. Lubriderm = Dad. End of story.
Until now.
Here's a little TMI: My husband and I exchange foot rubs as we watch trashy tv almost nightly. I figured this was the perfect introduction to my new lotion. Surprisingly, I loved it! It was lightweight yet had enough moisture to get a good rub on. The smell was also perfect for our evening's exchange, as it helped us wind down with its light lavender jasmine scent. My feet were definitely softer after just one use.
My next task for the lotion was full body, daily use.
Now, you need to know that I HATE putting on lotion after a shower and then having to put on pants. Necessary, yes, but it still doesn't mean I have to like it. I can't stand that sticky feeling, like I'm a sausage sticking to its casing. Yuck. So, begrudgingly, I slathered the Lubriderm all over and set about my makeup application. By the time (4-5 minutes later) I was ready for my leggings, the lotion was completely absorbed, leaving me with nothing but soft legs!!! YAAAAAAY!!!!!! After two uses, I was sold on this stuff.
Of course, with every good there has to be some bad. What I'm not thrilled about are the chemicals. I try to take a more natural approach, although, I'll never be a hippie. (Nothing wrong with being a hippie, I'm just not dedicated enough to go completely natural.) I cringe a little thinking about all the chemicals that are being absorbed by my skin. At least there aren't any yucky parabens listed in the ingredients, so it could be worse.
All in all, this is a great lotion. Its not what I expected and I am really happy about that! I'd hate to turn into my dad, after all. He's a great man, dad and papaw, but I can live without the beard and man skin.
