Beauty on a Budget: Bodycology

April 27, 2010 Beauty

Let’s be honest.  We are all guilty of being elitist when it comes to our favorite part of the day: the bath! We all want the perfect wash with scents that melt away the day’s stress,  the softest lotion that leaves the skin oh-so-silky soft,  and the body mist that leaves the faintest yet alluring trail of scent as you walk on by.  But who would’ve thought luxury could be found at the drugstore?  That’s exactly where you would find Bodycology’s body care line and the newly debuted Rich & Creamy body washes.

The scents and textures of Bodycology products are beyond what you’d expect to find in the drugstore.  There are six delicous scents to choose from,  but at less that $5 a bottle you don’t have to! Skin Softening contains silk and avocado oil ,  Hydrating boasts skin-quenching aloe vera and Vitamin E, Nourishing conditions the skin with soy and shea butter, Deep Cleansing awakens the senses with extracts of apricot and grapefruit, Refreshing rejuvenates you with extracts of green tea and cucumber,  and Ultra Rich will leave you feeling ultra moisturized with shea and cocoa butter.  My favorite part about this line?  All the scents softly linger on your skin well after you’ve stepped out of the shower and into your day.

Being paraben-free is a big plus too! On top of the gorgeous scents,  I was happy to discover that Bodycology’s washes do not contain parabens. Parabens are chemical esters of the compound para-hydroxybenzoic acid,  and combinations of these compounds are used as preservatives in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products.

Find your fave at a Walgreens near you!
