Ah, fall is here. Everywhere tween girls are reaching for their new sweaters and boots. If your daughters are anything like mine, nothing from last year fits. So a new jewel-colored beret, bright-colored gloves without fingertips, and Uggs have replaced faded bathing suits, flip flops and t-shirts.
At Ottilie & Lulu, we think tween girls should also be reaching for a great all-over body lotion, too. Trading hot, humid days for dry, cold air and lots of time spent in heated rooms will affect a girl's skin. You may not think tween girls need to worry about dry skin at this age, but environmental stress affects all of us, and tween girls face their own unique skin challenges. While we Moms are trying to replenish lost moisture for our older skin, our daughters need to start good tween skin care today to help prevent moisture loss.
After a bath or shower have her apply Ottilie & Lulu Body Glow Lotion to damp-not dry-skin. Seal in moisture; don't wait for dry skin to develop. "It Is Never Too Early To Start Protecting A Girl's Natural Beauty," is our mantra for tweens skin care at Ottilie & Lulu.
My daughter has several bottles of body lotion in our bathroom. Some are so heavily fragranced, I can't stand the smell. Others have glitter which can be fun, but glittery lotions are not very good at moisturizing skin, nor are they good for her to wear to bed. Our Body Glow Lotion is a non-irritating formula that has anti-oxidants to protect her skin, vitamins to nourish and botanicals to soothe. None of our formulas contain parabens, SLS, phthalates. mineral oil or petrolatum, nor have they been tested on animals. Our Body Glow Lotion is dermatologist, allergy, and clinically tested. Very lightly fragranced with the scent of lavender, Ottilie & Lulu Lotion will help her feel relaxed before bedtime, and her skin will be moisturized and feel soft and smooth.
And because we will all be washing our hands and using a great deal of hand sanitizer this winter, be sure to incorporate a moisturizing body lotion into your daughter's daily tween hygiene regime. Keep a bottle of Ottilie & Lulu Body Glow Lotion near her shower and put a 2oz size in her backpack. Help your tween avoid dry, itchy skin this winter. She will love the soft feel of her skin.
