Skin Care Problems = 1 Solution... for Under $4

The problem I have with many lotions and potions that promise younger looking skin are firstly, that there are too many different types that target various problem areas. Trying to choose one is literally overwhelming. The second problem I have is that I don't want to shell out a load of cash on something that doesn't guarantee results.

After reading labels in the skin care aisle, I noticed that many of the products contain glycerin which is an organic compound composed of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. It has a wide range of benefits to the skin including its ability to retain moisture, which is key in fighting the aging process. I was also surprised to discover that glycerin can be used as both a cleanser and toner, it can be used to combat acne and heal scars, it can lighten and even skin tone, and can also act as a sunscreen to some extent. 

I recently found a product that contains a high concentration of glycerin, is hypoallergenic, non toxic and is gentle enough to use every day. The product is called Intense Moisture Cream by Johnson & Johnson and can be found in the baby section of any pharmacy or Walmart. The best part is that it costs just $3.97 for a 222 ml bottle! I've been using it on my skin every morning and night and I love it! It is fast absorbing, non greasy and leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. I won't be wasting my money on skin care products anymore!
