You can take the girl out of Seattle but you can’t take the hippy out of the girl!

I have been hunting around for a new moisturizer to replace my Kiehl’s Ulta Facial moisturizer.  I love me some Kiehl’s but I think it’s a good idea to mix it up every once in a while. The criteria – I like my moisturizers to be lightly scented or unscented and pretty basic.  I am just looking for something to moisturize and not break me out.  Ialso thought it might be fun to try out some of the natural skin care lines I had been reading about.  So, easy right? 

Herbacin –  $7.50 Amazon.com

I’m not going to lie – this smells kinda like playdough to me but if you can get past that, it’s an excellent moisturizer and cheap to boot.  Not to easy find, but I got mine on amazon for next to nothing.  I would buy it again.  The hand lotion is the real deal too and is great for healing cracked heels.

Ahava Essential Day Moisturizer, $39.50 Ulta.com

Ahava Essential Day moisturizer on the other the hand smells wonderful, with a light floral scent.  This is a good solid moisturizer  and I would buy again even though it’s a little on the pricier size.  I am eager to try some of their other products as well.

Weleda $20, smallflower.com

Weleda has several types of moisturizers and I couldn’t decide which moisturizer would be best for my dry combo skin so I bought two different types – the Iris Hyradting lotion and the Wild Rose Smoothing cream .  Both are lovely.  In the end I decided Iris worked the best and I thought it made my skin look great. 

I think  the experiment to was a success and look forward to buying these moisturizer again in the future.  (although Kiehl’s Ultra moisturizer is still my favorite).  The heart wants what the heart wants.
