Pick of the Week: Lubriderm Daily Moisture Lotion, Normal to Dry Skin

Got eggs in the fridge? Bet you do. Eggs are a staple. Just like Lubriderm. So there’s always a trusty bottle in my medicine chest. And at $7 or so for 16 ounces, I’m generous with it. Okay, make that extravagant. Yes, I admit it, I’m a slatherer. Fresh from the shower, towel-dried but still damp, pores ready and willing, I pump a handful and go a little crazy. Lubriderm sinks in faster than you can say xeroderma, the medical term for dry skin. It goes straight to work, plumping, smoothing and minimizing lizard lines. When it’s really rotten out, when my heels start to scream “Winter’s here, honey!”, I switch to Lubriderm Intense Skin Repair, the one with the gold label. Both body lotions are non-comedogenic and won’t clog a single pore, which is good news since the average person has 3 trillion of them. -Patricia Volk
