Wintry Dry Skin Relief

at by

I live in upstate New York, where it gets very cold and windy and dry in the winter. And, boy, does my skin suffer for it! I’m always on the lookout for a product that will help my dry, wintry skin.

I’ve recently had the chance to try some of the new products in the Suave Professionals® line, which offers women everywhere access to premium quality products with the finest skincare ingredients, in this case, authentic Moroccan argan oil. The products I tried out are part of Suave Professionals® Moroccan Infusion Body Care, which feature authentic argan oil from Morocco, a lightweight oil rich in nutrients and antioxidants that leaves skin looking silky and radiant and moisturized. I had the chance to try the Moroccan Infusion Body Lotion and the Moroccan Infusion Dry Body Oil Spray.

Here’s how Suave describes these products:

The Body Lotion is a “daily moisturizer that absorbs quickly for up to 24 hours of radiant, non-greasy hydration”  The Dry Body Oil Spray “has a non-greasy formula that absorbs instantly and seals in long-lasting moisture.” They go on to say, “New Suave Professionals® Moroccan Infusion Body Care products, clinically proven to moisturize as well as Moroccanoil®†, feature a light, luxurious fragrance and are infused with authentic Moroccan argan oil, a lightweight miracle oil known to be rich in nutrients and antioxidants.”

My thoughts: I really liked both products. The Body Lotion goes on smoothly and is non-greasy, something I really appreciate. My hands felt and looked much better almost immediately. I’ve also started spraying the Dry Body Oil on my legs after a shower and they are really appreciating it! Both products do what they are advertised to do and my skin does indeed look better.

I’ve used products with argan oil before and liked the light, natural scent of the oil. I wear a very light perfume — light enough that the scent of the Suave tends to overpower it. I suspect that many will love this scent though.

   †when clinically tested with comparable Moroccanoil® products. Moroccanoil® is a registered trademark of Moroccanoil®.®

  1. Oh, I would so love to win something and I would love to try the Suave body lotion. I also have very dry skin these days!! Thank you, Claudia for this review!!

  2. I love dry body oils!! I’ll have to check this line out when I head to the store later. Thanks for the review.

  3. Of course my advice would be to use only natural, moisturizing soaps which have no drying ingredients like mass-produced soaps do. Check out my homemade, vegan soaps. I didn’t really mean for this to turn into an ad, but there are things to do to avoid dry skin in the first place. One of them is to keep the humidifier running during these very dry months and the other is to use natural soaps. You’ll find the ingredient list to be way shorter without all the added chemicals that other soaps have.

  4. I Have both of these on my dressing table right now, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE them!. THANKS CLAUDIA!

  6. “Winter skin” in the Midwest returns much on cue, not unlike tax-filing season-neither of which anyone looks forward to with open arms. Thinking I really need to try the Moroccan Infusion Dry Body Oil Spray specifically for my back. Every winter I end up with this dry track right up my spine and naturally, I can’t reach it. Poor hubs gets enlisted time after time for an assist. While the scent sounds intriguing, I am very interested in experiencing the benefit of both nutrients and antioxidants from the argon oil. A product that dries quickly is a real “win win” during such a cold winter when we can’t seem to move fast enough in and out of our daily togs and nightwear.
    Thank you for the review Claudia. Standing in front of the lotion aisle can be so overwhelming.

  7. Dry skin in middle TN also! Thank you for the chance to win.
    Claudia—Have a fabulous Friday. No sunshine in our part of the country. We are hoping to “get above” freezing.

  10. Living in Pennsylvania brings pretty much the same crazy cold weather and snow you are getting. I would love to try the body lotion as this cold dries my skin out horribly. Thanks Claudia! Have a great weekend too!

  11. I would love to try both of these products, my skin always seems dry and the older I get the worse it is.
    Thanks for this chance. I will be on the look out for these products at my local stores.

  14. I have used the Moroccan oil made for hair. It gets SO dry with the heat on in the house at this time of year. My cuticles have been so bad, also, and I actually used some on my nails & cuticles. It has helped! I didn’t even know they made the body lotions/ oil! Will have to try that, too. Thanks for sharing the info!!

  15. Claudia – I was not familiar with these products but am always on the watch for products that help with very dry skin. Thanks for the introduction. I think I would try the body lotion first since that is something I use everyday.

  17. I would love to try both of them Claudia..I always get dry skin this time of year but it seams even worse with these terrible freezing temps we are having this year..I will check them out when I do my shopping today..I also tweeted about this..Thanks!

  18. Good to know, I am out of lotion and buying some after work today. I will give this a try!! BTW so glad you and Don got your new bed. I know it must be wonderful and I just love the bedding you got for it. Stay warm!!!!

  19. I use the Suave Lotion all the time – Sweet Pea & Violet is my current favorite! I have not tried this yet, but would like to. Thank you!

  20. I LOVE the idea of a spray oil that I could use after showering…. I’m Going to try the Suave dry body oil spray!

  22. I would like to try the Suave body lotion. I have used other lotions by Suave and like them very much. Thanks!

  23. Claudia – I am always looking for lotions that can help my dry Minnesota winter skin. It looks as though both of these products would be helpful. My hands and feet get the worst of the beating. Getting drier by the minute…help me. :)

  24. Hi Claudia,
    Thanks for showing these products – I have never tried a dry body oil spray, but I would love to give it a try.

  25. Hi Claudia,

    While both products sound good I would be most interested in the spray. That sounds especially nice for my legs as well as my shoulders. I do not know why, but my shoulders are always super dry. A spray sounds like a good idea.

  27. I’m with Cranberry Morning (above) ~ I only use natural soaps and lotions on my skin. Unfortunately, the commercial stuff is laden with chemicals.

  31. For a chance to win $1,000 or a chance to get some relief from my dry skin I would try the Moroccan Infusion Body Lotion. It has been cold in Fort Worth this winter. We got almost a 1/2 inch of snow yesterday – shut down much of the area (it’s for the best, Texans should not drive in temperatures below 38 F. Trust me). Have a great week.

  33. Hi from Arizona! I live in the high country so we get the winter cold, snow, wind & frost that just really makes my skin rough & dry. I’m constantly on the search for a good product that doesn’t cost an arm & a leg (Sorry ~~)!! I would like to try the body oil spray. Thanks Claudia for the review & chance to win :0).
    XO, Linda

  34. My scalp gets super dry too, and I see that they also have a Professionals shampoo line. I would like to try one of them.

  35. I want to try out the Body Lotion; it sounds like the perfect lotion for soothing winter dry skin.

  42. I’m sort of a body lotion junky, but I would love to try both of these. Suave has some good lotions. Many thanks for the chance to win!!

  43. I’d love to try the body lotion My skin really needs a boost from this dry winter. I use Bath and Body works lotions because I don’t use perfume. I need a better lotion that addresses my skin issues. Thanks, Claudia.

  46. I would love to win! I have to be honest though, this is the first time I have read your blog and I am intrigued. I have been reading for a while, and I want to read more of it. I am especially intrigued by your comments about your husband and marriage. About the easy laugh, so true! Thank you for the suggestion!

  47. I would try the Moroccan lotion. I am always looking for a lotion that doesn’t leave the skin oily.

  48. I went to Target and bought some of the Suave Moroccan Infusion body lotion. I like it a lot. The price is reasonable. It isn’t greasy. I like it.

  51. All of the products sound fabulous but I would most like to try Suave Professionals® Moroccan Infusion Body Lotion. I live in a very cold climate and my skin tends to get dry, this new range would really help my skin feel refreshed and I would smell great too!

  53. I would like to try the body lotion. I live in Western NY where the air is very dry, esp this year.

  58. My skin is telling me that it is time to try something different. I would love to try the Moroccan Infusion Dry Body Oil Spray. This sounds like it would be a good product for the dry skin on my arms and legs.

  61. I would love to try the Suave Professionals® Moroccan Infusion Body Lotion!

    Thanks for the chance to win!
