Buying lard-like tubs of boring moisturiser is not your only option – ungreasy, effective derma body lotions are now available
I
could write a thesis on derma body lotions, but it would be as boring to read as they are to use. You know the ones – rows of near-identical white and blue family moisturisers for extra dry skin, smelling of nothing, feeling like lard and standing unhappily away from the fun aisles full of fruity, silky and whipped creams costing half as much.
The joyless, pricey pharmaceutical aisle is where we dryness-, cracked-, eczema- or sensitivity-prone skin types must shop, because a vat full of something more elegant would barely lubricate an elbow.
For us, I deliver good news: Mixa has landed from France, 102 years late. You may remember its UK launch and swift withdrawal some years ago (because of something boring about distribution). Now it’s back, in supermarkets, chemists and online – and it’s marvellous.
