The Lazy Girl’s Guide To Skin Care

I know this will probably come as a shock to no one, but I’m extremely lazy when it comes to doing things like putting on makeup, using the right lotion for my skin, finding the correct hair products for my hair, and pretty much just being a girl in general. But now that I’m… getting older I feel like it’s high time I start taking better care of this kind of stuff. Most specifically when it comes to my skin.

For some reason I just hate putting on lotion after I shower. I know a lot of girls absolutely love it, but for me it always feels so heavy and makes my hands feel greasy for the next hour or so. Thus I present to you a solution to my problem- new St. Ives® Fresh Hydration Lotion Spray. It gives you moisturized skin without the heavy lotion feel. You know that spray-on sunscreen? It sprays on basically just like that and I’m kind of obsessed with it. Case and point, last week I had a skirt on and as I was running out the door I noticed my legs were grossly dry. I didn’t want to have to take off all of my rings and apply some thick lotion because I was in a hurry, so instead I just sprayed on St. Ives® Fresh Hydration Lotion Spray and it was easy peasy. Problem solved. The innovative technology delivers a 360° even spray at every any angle that moisturizes effectively, while feeling light and fresh on skin, never heavy or greasy. So what I’m saying is that it dispenses evenly with one all-over spray.

We all know that people like a little variety when it comes to their lotion so St. Ives offers three different versions of their Fresh Hydration Lotion Spray.

Energizing Citrus & Vitamin C Fresh Hydration Lotion.
Naturally Indulgent Coconut Milk & Orchid Extract Fresh Hydration Lotion.
Naturally Soothing Oatmeal & Shea Butter Fresh Hydration Lotion.

I’ve tried all three and I think my favorite is probably the Oatmeal and Shea Butter. I love the scent as much as I love the easy way it goes on. Want to hear more reasons why I love St. Ives? Check out the video below. (You’re going to want to watch it if not just to laugh at how silly I sound, trust me on this one.)

    This is exactly what I need! I am constantly running out the door with dry legs because I don't have time to put on lotion!

  2. June 5, 2014 / 4:07 am

    I need this! I hate it when after you shower and then you put on lotion and you feel sticky and eewy as if you haven't showered yet.

    The less time it takes to get ready, the better! And the whole taking-rings-off-to-lotion-up thing is SPOT ON. I need this lotion for that reason alone. Well, and because after I get out of the shower there's just something so annoying about putting regular lotion on. Why can't they make everything into a spray? Genius!

  4. June 5, 2014 / 9:13 am

    This is perfect! I hate putting lotion just like you because it feels greasy and heavy for such a long time afterwards. This seems so easy and perfect for the lazy girl in all of us!

  5. June 5, 2014 / 9:32 am

    I would go with the soothing oatmeal and shea butter. I've been sunburned twice already and my skin has been non-stop itchy and dry…

  6. June 5, 2014 / 9:54 am

    I would love to try this because it would make my daily routine so much easier!

  7. June 5, 2014 / 10:04 am

    I need this! And btw- these posts don't even seem sponsored, you are awesome!

  8. June 5, 2014 / 10:59 am

    It seems little a super easy way to keep my skin for looking like a dried out snake.

  9. June 5, 2014 / 11:06 am

    I'm the most lazy. seriously, washing my face is a rare occurrence.

  10. June 5, 2014 / 11:08 am

    Oh snap! I'm lazy, too! That coconut scent is calling my name.
    #itputsthelotionontheskin

  11. June 5, 2014 / 11:10 am

    Moisturizing isn't even part of my daily routine… too much work… so this would definitely be worth a try!

  12. June 5, 2014 / 11:25 am

    I'm totally not a fan of feeling sticky from lotion in the Summer so I usually skip it once it starts getting warmer. I love coconut scents when the weather starts getting warmer. Will definitely be trying it out!

  13. June 5, 2014 / 11:30 am

    I just had a baby and some days I'm too exhausted for lotion. This would be awesome!

  14. June 5, 2014 / 12:03 pm

    I would like to try it because it looks like a dry lotion that you will not have to wait forever for it to absorb; looks fresh smelling.

  15. June 5, 2014 / 12:26 pm

    I hate heavy lotions and how they make my skin feel! This may be a great alternative!

  16. June 5, 2014 / 12:37 pm

    I hate putting lotion on too I dont like the way it feels on my hands. Id definitely like to try this out my skin could use some moisturizing and if I dont have to walk around feeling greasy win win!

  17. June 5, 2014 / 12:46 pm

    I love St. Ives lotion. I would love to try this one.

  18. June 5, 2014 / 12:53 pm

    This product would be perfect for me! I never leave enough time to put on lotion after a shower so this would be my go-to!

  19. June 5, 2014 / 1:04 pm

    Wait. We're supposed to put lotion on after we shower. Crap. and ewww. Lotion makes me feel all lubed up and ready to hit the slip and slide. I sometimes shock myself at how much I suck at being a girl. Case in point: I keep my make-up in the car and use it only while driving to fancy occasions.

  20. June 5, 2014 / 1:17 pm

    I'd use this for when I come out of the pool. My skin gets so dry even on the walk home from the gym.

  21. June 5, 2014 / 1:31 pm

    I hate putting on lotion after the shower- it makes me feel all slimy and gross. Since I live in Colorado where all the moisture is constantly being sucked out of my skin, I would love to try this to just spray on!

  22. June 5, 2014 / 1:46 pm

    Yes!!! I feel the EXACT same way! my arms and stomach are peeling and so dry from a healing sunburn, and my shins look so gross and in my gym clothes, but I also don't want to be bothered with the ring removal and goopy claustrophobic feeling from putting heavy lotion on. I'd love to try this!

  23. June 5, 2014 / 1:49 pm

    Oh man! I'm so excited about this! I'm totally with ya – for some reason I hate putting on lotion after I shower. I know I should but a lot of days it just doesn't seem worth it to take the time and I also hate the feeling of oiled up legs right after showering. I was sent a similar product to try a while back by vasaline. I really liked the convenience but I didn't like all the chemicals the other brand's product was full of. I ONLY use ST. Ives lotion because they are paraben-free so I'm hoping these are as well!!

  24. June 5, 2014 / 2:05 pm

    I want to try this because I never put on lotion and my skin could use some serious hydration. Also – how does the stuff not get all over your bathroom?? I use the sprayable sunscreen and only put in on outside because I'm not very good aim!

  25. June 5, 2014 / 2:08 pm

    Lotion takes forever to dry. I'm getting some!

  26. June 5, 2014 / 2:27 pm

    I want to try it because my legs are constantly so dry from all the chlorine in the summer time. Ugh, the worst! But I love pools soo much!

  27. June 5, 2014 / 3:14 pm

    Id like to try it because it's an easy application to put on lotion

  28. June 5, 2014 / 4:37 pm

    This is brilliant! I hate having to take my rings off to put on lotion…I want to try it.

  29. June 5, 2014 / 4:55 pm

    Well that sounds fantastically easy. I would definitely try it.

  30. June 5, 2014 / 5:16 pm

    I love the traditional St. Ives lotion pump form and all so I'd be excited to try the spray form too, less mess, easy to apply, won't get in my rings as easy.

  31. June 5, 2014 / 5:28 pm

    I would like to try St. Ives new spray lotion because i have never tried a spray lotion before and i love the way it comes packaged.

  32. June 5, 2014 / 5:59 pm

    I would like this lotion because it would be easy to apply and would smell great.

  33. June 5, 2014 / 9:03 pm

    Any time saved in the morning is perfect! I cant wait to try this 🙂

  34. June 6, 2014 / 8:58 am

    When I put on lotion in the morning, I have to wash my hands after because I hate that greasy feeling…not to mention you can NEVER open up the bathroom door!!

  35. June 6, 2014 / 9:31 am

    I THNK I've heard of this before, but why have I not tried it?!?!?! So I need to win because this is life changing stuff here.

  36. June 6, 2014 / 12:19 pm

    Moving from Michigan to Arizona, the dry weather has really caught up to me. I was LAZY when I had humidity to back me up. I have been trying very hard to be better about lotion. This is so quick and easy, I would have no excuse!

  37. June 6, 2014 / 6:14 pm

    I would like to try it so I could moisturize quickly after showering.

  38. June 7, 2014 / 5:15 pm

    It is a quick way to keep your soft and smelling good

    dlatany at gmail dot com

  39. June 7, 2014 / 5:32 pm

    I need a product that is easy to use and in no time at all. My skin gets so itchy and dry during the summer!

  40. June 8, 2014 / 4:52 am

    This is heaven sent! As a busy mom, wife and working full time putting on lotion is on the bottom of my to do list. It's time consuming! I definitely want something quick and easy to apply 🙂

  41. June 8, 2014 / 12:48 pm

    Living in Arizona has made my skin dry. I get that ashy effect on my shins. It's not cute. So a spray on lotion would be perfect! Especially being that i don't like slathering goop all over me. So, this product sounds like a nice solution.

  42. June 9, 2014 / 7:49 am

    I had to read this because it describes me perfectly! Now I have to try this!!! Thank you!

  43. June 9, 2014 / 2:04 pm

    Yes! Finally a genius idea. I never put lotion on because I never have time to sit down and rub it all in, but a spray! Heck yeah! I could do that in a matter of seconds! Even if I don't win this giveaway I'll be going to buy some of this.

  44. June 10, 2014 / 6:48 am

    I would love an opportunity to try the spray because it seems like a great option to keep my skin moisturized in the summertime. I don't mind using thick creams or heavy lotions in the winter but, I prefer a lighter option for the warmer months.

  45. June 10, 2014 / 10:44 am

    I'm horrible about lotioning and part of that is because I really do not like having to take my rings off. This lotion would make my life a whole lot easier! 🙂

  46. June 10, 2014 / 3:44 pm

    I have never seen this before!! I'm so lazy, I totally need this in my life.

  47. June 10, 2014 / 11:33 pm

    I would like to try St. Ives new spray lotion because I love spray on lotion and St Ives brand. A great combination of new product and must try this summer.

  51. June 12, 2014 / 12:39 am

    I've never tried a spray lotion, but I've used spray sunscreen and it's great, so why not?

  52. June 12, 2014 / 3:41 pm

  53. June 12, 2014 / 7:46 pm

  59. June 15, 2014 / 11:21 am

    I have never tried this product. I have used the other versions of St Ives lotions they are excellent. I am so going to use the spray on versions if not just for the time saving factor. Also since getting older I can't reach all the places I use to be able to , so these sprays should work just right. Thanks St. Ives!!!
