Style may change from person-to-person but a dependable moisturizer is key for every fashion maven—after all, your right to bare arms and legs has to be exercised responsibly. That’s why Vaseline® Sheer Infusion™ body lotion is one of ideeli’s beauty picks for spring. Featuring Stratys-3, a superior moisturizing technology, Sheer Infusion™ gives you incredibly silky skin all day long, and the confidence to pull off your favorite body-baring fashions.

Available in three scents—Botanical Blend, Mineral Renewal, and Vitamin Burst—there’s one sure to fit your particular flair. So which is best for you? The ideeli in-house beauty gurus tested the three Sheer Infusion varieties over the past two weeks, and here’s what we found!

Botanical Blend: Crisp and enlivening, Botanical Blend’s smooth scent has an appealing cucumber note that’s restorative and refreshing. Kind of like sliding into your favorite pair of jeans and a comfy cotton tee after a long day.

Mineral Renewal: The flirt of the bunch, Mineral Renewal has an alluring floral fragrance that’s a little naughty, a little nice. This one’s definitely for the banded dresses and one-shoulder tops that accompany a night on the town.

Vitamin Burst: Sporty and with a citrus undertone, Vitamin Burst’s energizing aroma is perfect for the active stylephile. This one’s for the ace who’s on-the-go in sneaks, and looking for a great hiking trail or half-marathon.

The best trend for spring is silky skin, and ideeli’s beauty best to refresh yours this season is Vaseline’s® Sheer Infusion™ body lotion. Delivering twice the moisture of other leading everyday body lotions, Vaseline® Sheer Infusion™ lasts all day long, and is available in three fresh scents: Botanical Blend, Mineral Renewal, and Vitamin Burst.

We’re not the only fans, though—former Cosmopolitan writer, beauty guru, and blogger Jeannine Morris counts herself as a Sheer Infusionista, too. Jeannine, who’s also appeared as an expert on E!, NBC, and CBS, gives us the scoop on why she’s an all-around Vaseline® die-hard, as well as some insider beauty tips and trends.

1. What does Sheer Infusion™ body lotion do that other products don’t?
I was introduced to Vaseline® Sheer Infusion™ last fall when it first came out, and heard that Vaseline® had a new technology which provides twice as much moisture for your skin than other brands. As a beauty blogger anxious to test out the formula, I replaced my old moisturizer and began applying Sheer Infusion™ every morning when I got out of the shower. I now start my day with it, and feel silky and moisturized all day long (and love that I don’t have to reapply my moisturizer).
2. Which scent is your favorite?
Sheer Infusion™ Body Lotion in Mineral Renewal is my must-have scent. I like using moisturizers that have little scent to them because I normally wear perfume and don’t like mixing too many fragrances. Mineral Renewal is light and refreshing.
3. You've been a loyal Vaseline® customer for years. What is it you love about their products?
Vaseline products have always delivered what they promise. It’s a trusted brand.
4. What’s one of your favorite beauty trends for spring?
The side-swept braid. It was seen on the Spring/Summer 2010 runways, is über-chic, and super easy to do. Here’s how you can get the look, which I wrote about on my blog, Beauty Sweet Spot.
5. What's one must-know beauty tip you've gleaned in your years as an expert that you now can't do without?
Practice safe sun. Use an SPF of 15 or higher; anything lower than that is not protecting you. Being young and tan is only fabulous in the moment, as signs of aging are right around the corner and the risk of skin cancer is NOT worth it.

Dr Jamé, Summer Skin Care

Dear Dr. Jamé:

Can you recommend a tinted moisturizer with an SPF that's light enough for daily wear in the summer? Foundation + powder can feel so heavy in warm weather.

From Dianna, The Budget Babe Blog

Great question Dianna!  We get this one often at Wellpath.    

Unfortunately, when products claim to be "all-in-one," like the product you described, they often contain a lot of "junk" and fillers that aren't great for our skin - especially our faces.  So here is our solution:

Put away that liquid foundation during the daytime.  The weather is too hot and humid, and your skin needs to breathe, or else you risk clogging your pores.   Save the liquid foundation for evenings and special occasions.  

Second, try a mineral makeup.  My favorite is Jane Iredale Pressed Powder.  Jane Iredale started the mineral makeup trend, and to this day, in my opinion, they are still the best.  For a sun kissed look, try the suntan or golden glow shades. What makes mineral powders so fantastic, is that they contain all the things you are looking for:  nutrients that nourish the skin, coverage that is complete yet looks fresh and natural, and SPF. Two of the key active ingredients in pressed minerals are zinc and titanium dioxide, which are also the key ingredients in any doctor recommended sunscreen! Rather than slathering on a thick zinc cream, you can just brush on some color and the minerals overlap to create a protective and reflective barrier.  The result?  Good color, great SPF.   I always wear this powder on my face during the summer- even at the beach.

Thirdly,  leave your moisturizer for the evening, or use only a light moisturizer underneath your powder. Most of us do not need thick, heavy creams during the summer months.

Hope that helps!
