Post subject: Great Inexpensive Moisturizer

We all know how products are marked up considerably here, especially upper-end facial care and cosmetics. A few weeks ago, I picked up a giganic bottle of Banana Boat Vitamin E Gel at City Supermarket for about RMB68 thinking it would be a quick leg moisturizer. The diretions indicated that it can be used on the face... so I tried it.

Surprise, surprise! It actually worked! I have very dry skin and was worried about a gel formula drying it out... but it didn't. It absorbs quickly and leaves no residue. Fantastic to apply before going out at night. No smell after a few minutes.

Never thought I would recommend something like this, but it really is worth a shot, especially if you are running low on supplies.

Thanks Magnolia for the great tip. I use Banana Boat Vit E gel for everything, from sunburn to itch of any kind, but never thought of using it on my face.

will try it tonight!
