I finally found some nice, totally unscented lotion. This is great for using on your skin prior to applying fragrance, to make the fragrance last longer (this is a big problem if you have dry skin, as I do). I've seen recommendations for jojoba oil and for almond oil, and even for a light layer of petroleum jelly (ick), and also have seen recommendations for unscented lotion, but try finding it!

Well, today I did, and it was at a shop I frequent anyway, The Body Shop! The lotion is sold with the option (and intention) of letting you choose what scent you'd like put in it from their fragrance oil range, but I wanted it unscented, and that's just what I got.

So if you, like me, have trouble getting fragrance to last on your skin and you've had a hard time finding unscented lotion, drop around The Body Shop and pick up a bottle of the unscented lotion. It's a fabulous "base" for fragrance.
