Our Top Pick

Let’s face it, if you’re anything like us, you’ve tried a lot of skin creams, moisturizers, body lotions and salves over the years. Living in the British Columbia lower mainland, we’re fortunate enough to have some of the mildest winters in the country – but the trade-off, our year-round active outdoor lifestyle has our skin exposed to plenty of cold dry wind in the winter and hot harsh sun in the summer. Maybe dry skin and sunburns only run in our family, but considering how often we get asked how we’ve managed to stay so young looking now that we’ve reached our mid forties, we’re willing to bet that plenty of you are on the same quest.

Trust me, we’re frugal. We’ve tried every dollar store and bulk buy concoction out there. We keep all the creams and soaps and and sample vials from every hotel we stay at, and we’ve even been suckers for slick online and in-store marketing campaigns a few times. So when we say we’ve tried pretty much everything, and our family’s hands-down favourite all-body lotion is Lubriderm Original Lotion, you can be sure we’ve found something that really works for us.

We all love how it goes on clean, with no greasy feel and no sticky after effect – it disappears in seconds yet keeps you moisturized for hours. As you’ll likely discover from other products we rave about, we’re not big on ‘scents’ and tend to gravitated toward neutral, mild, and unscented products – another reason why we love Lubriderm.

The Original Lotion is enriched with vitamin B5 and essential moisturizers found in healthy skin, which, anecdotally at least, seems to do the trick for us.
