Mineral Oils and Scented lotions?

[CarolinaSizzle]

I DO use a few after tan moisturizers * Angel, TI and Hempz* but I am not a huge perfume person though I do love to use scented lotions especially in the summer. While the after tan lotions I use have scents I still sometimes like to put on a lil' VS Pink, Inner Realm or a few different B&BW lotions. After reading about lotions with MO in them and perfumes I am curious if any of you still use other lotions aside from after tanning ones.

I know that perfumes do have an adverse affect on many people when they tan and I have heard that MO tends to "draw" some of the color out of your tan(???) though I havent noticed it with me.

So do ya or dont ya use other lotions with scent? Ü

I don't even think about scent... except that if it smells bad, I won't use it. I love buying lotions that smell nice.

I am so spoiled from using the tanning moisturizers that I just can't get back into what I used to use. They all seem so thin and not moisturizing enough. Every now and again I'll use a Bath and Body scented lotion that I've received as gifts, but I pretty much stick to the Angel and Brown Envy.

Haven't heard of mineral oil "drawing" anything since it is not an astringent, but it is the LAST thing I'd ever put on my skin again. I use to be a big baby oil fan...no more.

angel is not moisturizing it will dry you out instead. total immersion is my top choice.

Well I personally LIKE Angel and havent found it to be a bit drying for me but I have some friends who have said they dont like it simply because it is drying on THEIR skin.

For those who do have B&BW lotions and dont like them for whatever reason you CAN take them back for an exchange of something else in the store.....even if you recieved it as a gift or bought it way back when or dont have the receipt. They DO exchange no matter how much of the product you have or havent used. Most of B&BW's body lotions dont have MO in them but their body oils, silks and cremes do have MO.

i even got a sugar scrub that i've used all about twice (i really liked it too)

really they take it back no matter how much is left?

I used to be a manager for a B&BW here for a few years and it is store policy.....100% MBG if you are not satisfied with products...no matter how much you have or havent used or any OTHER reason..as long as you have your reciept...if you dont have a reciept or it was a gift you will be given a store credit or exchange for equal value....NO MATTER what..for Christmas I got a few bottles of their new aromatherapy lotions as gifts and one scent was nice IN the bottle but it was way too sweet and icky for my taste on me , I tried it once more after I got some compliments on it and I just couldnt deal with it no matter, so I took it back and was given an exchange of equal vaule so I am certain the MBG/EE is still policy!!!

This is right. I have several of their lotions and there is no mineral oil on the label. Now, this is the basic lotion, not the Silk. Also, don't know how long they've not had MO in them but they do not now.
