JR Watkins

Just tried some of the JR Watkins Aloe and Green Tea Shea Butter Hand Repair Moisturizer. They have the same product in a Lemon Cream and a Lavender scent. The scent actually smells like a combination of shea butter and actual green tea, which is awesome. The stuff really seems to work well. In Portland, the humidity has been changing up and down rapidly over the last few days and it's just destroying the backs of my hands. This stuff isn't terribly expensive, only $7 for a 3.3 oz tube, and it seems to work well and last a long time. Target carries it in the same place as their Proraso and other higher quality mens shave and skin products near or in the cosmetics area. Seems like good stuff and the scents are quite nice.

For the lavender fans out there, that scent is nice but not too strong. The Lemon Cream reminds me of lemon lady fingers. Kinda strange but pleasant.

I saw those products as well (Target in Wood Village). I've always been impressed with the Watkins products, although I have a fondness for old- timey products like that.

I bought some of their menthol bath salts, and my daughters went nuts. They kept saying "Dad, can we have a stinky bath again tonight?!" They loved it.

I also thought about their Lavendar oil for some purpose, like in the bath tub...

Thanks for posting this, I picked some up at target and it is indeed good stuff. I really like the green tea scent too.

I regularly use J.R. Watkins All Natural Body Oil (lavender) as a post-shave treat. It's great stuff.
