Lotion...and vitamins?

Vitamin B is important. In fact, Dr. Oz brands Vitamin B12 in particular as "the most important vitamin you're not taking". Why is it important? Deficency can lead to "certain characteristics" of anemia, slower neural transmission and it's required for the replication of DNA - which means without it, we can not generate new healthy cells. Those three come together to mimic virtually all effects of aging. Lack of B12 is making you look old, Dr. Oz is saying. (Source).

And bad news for our Vegetarian and Vegan friends, most of the naturally occuring sources of B12 are meats - clams, trout, haddock, cheeseburgers and liver are just a few. (Source)

Fear not! My good friends at VitaSciences have got your back, with their Maxasorb B12 Cream!

A rich, emollient lotion that delivers your daily dose of Vitamin B12. If you don't want to look aged ahead of your time, but don't eat a lot of clams, don't worry.

The Maxasorb B12 Cream is a nice, rich, emollient cream that absorbs quickly, and provides your daily dose of B12.

Scent is always a big thing I notice from lotions, and there was no scent to speak of with this lotion, which is nice. So the fragrance sensitive will have no problem with this.

I did have a strange dilemma, in that I almost had to build a tolerance to this lotion. The first couple of times I used it, I itched! And I was panicked! Like, how am I supposed to say anything about this lotion, if putting it on makes me want to wipe it off?

After a few times, and a built up tolerance, I did like this a lot more. Emollient and moisturizing, not thick and greasy. I can't speak to the anti-aging properties - I didn't get nearly as awesome results as I did from the eye cream I tried a few weeks ago. But I'm sure with long term results I would!

I did not use this cream on my face either - my skin is more to the oily side, and a rich, emollient lotion feels nice and all, but I didn't want to push it. I used it on my chest and neck (which is where I experienced the itching) and my arms (which is where I did not experience any itching).

(Pictures coming in the morning, when there's better lighting at my house. In the mean time, go here!)

Like lotion? Me too! I've talked about it before!
