Review: The Best Cream for Dry Skin – Lancôme Nutrix Royal Body Cream
Description (source):
Rescue extremely dry, dehydrated skin with this sumptuous cream that locks in nourishing moisture for 24 hours. Feelings of tightness virtually disappear, thanks to Lancôme’s ultra hydrating formula that’s enriched with Royal Jelly for lasting comfort. Almost immediately, skin feels smooth, supple and cushiony-soft.
For best results, apply to body when skin is still damp.
Benefits
- Smoothes and nurtures skin with 24-hour moisture
- Cushions and insulates skin from the effects of climate and seasonal changes
- Smoothes on effortlessly, drenching skin in comforting non-greasy moisture for a satiny-soft feel
Technology
- Royal Lipidéum™ Complex of Lipidéum and Royal Jelly: Helps skin retain moisture by supplementing its own natural lipids (moisture-binding fat cells found in the skin)
- Contains Shea Butter, one of the most effective ingredients to fight dryness
- Chestnut Peptides increase skin’s natural lipid production
My thoughts:
I simply love, love, love this product. This right here… is like the best cream for [my] dry skin. My hands, especially since I wash them constantly get dry quickly so I usually test moisturizers there first because if they work on my hands, it’ll work anywhere else. With regular moisturizers (I was using Kiehl’s Deluxe Hand & Body Lotion) my hands would get dry not too long after application of the cream. The Nutrix Royal Body Cream kept my hands (and later on, my body) moisturized throughout the day, even after consecutive hand-washing/showering.
After noticing its miracle-like properties I used this bad boy daily. Once I got down to the last drop, I cut the end off to ensure I got every last bit of goodness out of the tube.
Pros:
-Inexpensive (for a Lancome product) – $29-$35/ 7oz
-A little goes a long way. The moisturizing feeling lasts for I’d say at least a 24-hour period.
-Great texture
-Absorbs quickly and nicely into the skin
-Moisturizes and makes skin feel soft, supple and smooth.
-No sticky or greasy residue
Cons:
Perfume-like scent. I’m not really fond of scented lotions, especially when they smell like perfumes I don’t like – the scent of an old woman. The scent doesn’t linger around too long, but, it’s a bit intense in the beginning.
Do I recommend:
Yes, I would suggest you pick-up this product if you suffer from dry skin. Winter is near, which means dry skin is in some of our futures. Prevent it, and tackle it with Nutrix Royal Body Cream. It really works!
What is your favorite item(s) to combat dry skin during the winter?

Further Your Makeup Artist Career with Make Up For Ever Academy
Makeup artistry is constantly changing with the times. Whether you [think] you know-it-all or not, it’s always good to learn new techniques, and brush-up on your current skills to advance your career as a makeup artist.
I was excited to see the email from Make Up For Ever announcing their new Make Up For Ever NY Academy, which will offer classes in beauty & fashion, film & tv. as well as artistic & stage makeup. Each class (module) will vary in length from 7 – 20 weeks. From looking at the schedule, it seems like the classes will take place during the day between the hours of 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Unfortunately for me that will not work since I have a full-time day job. For those of you who are able to take advantage of this, I’d say go for it!
Deadline to apply for our first series of classes is December 1st, so apply now! Classes start January 9th. A full schedule of the rest of our 2012 sessions is also available.
To learn more about the curriculum and the application process, contact the MAKE UP FOR EVER Academy administrators via e-mail at mailto:academy@makeupforeverusa.com or by phone at (212) 377-3960.
