black girls: what kind of body lotion do you use?

Question

I recently moved to Europe and cant find the right cream,seems most creams here make me darker than I already am.please help

Answer 1

Awww...Damn...you should've did some heavy shopping before you left. Shop around,a dn se if anyone sells Johnson&Johnson 24-hour protection. That's pretty popular...maybe not in Europe, but you can try. Also, look out for Swiss Formula (blue and white bottle). I used that before I started using the J&J. It's excellent, and leaves your skin smooth and smelling good ALL DAY!!! I just like the J&J a little better.

Answer 2

My gal pal is black and she uses only lotions with cocoa butter and she has the most beautiful skin I've seen. If she runs out of cocoa butter cream, she uses olive oil or real butter until she can get to the store, but she's careful of the oiliness they cause and dresses completely to keep those off furniture, etc. It works for her and she's very dark complected. Creams do not make you darker, so look into that as a possible medical problem or too much sun.

Answer 3

you should avoid using lotions or any other product formulatted with mineral oil and animal products. These 1stofall do no get absorbed by our skin and mineral oil is the 2nd worse thing for the health of your skin, it would be like rubbing car oil on your skin and exposing yourself to the sun. animal products come from dead animals, there are these plants (rendering plants) and what they do is pick all dead animals and put them inside a huge pot, squash everything inside and then boil it, the oil that comes above is what companies use to formulate their "beauty" products, gross i know...Always read the ingredients and but botanically based products.... I would have to recommend ARBONNE, i have been using these products for quite a while now and they are really good, they leave your skin super hydrated without feeling greassy (no animal products or mineral oil) and the Face and body wash really clean yor skin without overdrying it and they have an antiaging line which is just great.... after your 20's you start seeing lines, what we want to do is avoid them getting deeper and deeper and if you see ingredients like "Collagen" (once again, animal product) do not buy them.... collagen, is what makes our skin more elastic and avoids the lines, decreases with aging and is a too big molecule to be absorbed by our skin, arbonne products include ingredients that help stimulate the production of our own collagen so this is why i use them and recommend them.... not sure if they sell it in europe though it is from Switzerland (over 25 years) but this is where i buy it online and if for some reason you are not satisfied with a product you can return it for your money..... https://secure.myarbonne.com/arbonne/arbonnepuertorico.nsf/p1/1?OpenDocument&shoppingcart=1

Answer 4

First of all, lotion and creams are two different things. Second, whatever cream/lotion you were using before you moved should be available in Europe too(if its a known name brand). I think this question is a hoax.... you surely cant be serious.

Answer 5

Lotion cant make you darker. Stay out of the sun!

Right now I am using Johnson & Johnson Baby Lotion. It doesn't have any perfumes or anything and it makes my skin feel really soft.

Answer 7

Unscented lotion
