Most lotions leave my skin feeling either exactly like it felt before I used the lotion or sticky, slimy, and gross–maybe even some sort of combination. But Alba Botanica Very Emollient Body Lotion leaves skin feeling great. Alba knows how to make lotion that absorbs into your skin. (You may remember me raving about the Alba Green Tea Sunscreen.) Plus, the scent is so mild that even a guy would be comfortable wearing it. This line is slowly becoming a staple in my everyday routine.
For all you Austinites: Wheatsville, a local co-op, sells it in bulk! Now, you can bring in your own container to fill with lotion rather than buying another plastic one.

I wear sunscreen all over every day–even on days when I know that my only outdoor exposure will be in the car on my drive to work. It may not be the cool thing to do since I’m always shockingly pale in comparison to my friends, but my skin is healthier for it. In the search for the perfect sunscreen, I’ve come across several lotions that use copious amounts of zinc oxide, which makes it difficult for skin to absorb. Some that I have tried even clump and then flake off, leaving little specks of sunscreen on my clothes and in my hair like dandruff!
Alba’s Green Tea SPF 30+ Sunscreen gives me the perks of protecting my skin without the flakes. Overall, it is fresh and pleasant without the dreaded sunscreeny smell. Plus, you can buy it at Target for only $9.99. If you wear sunscreen frequently then you should definitely check it out. It’s great for every day use.
