I'm not really a chocoholic—I'm more of a savoury girl—but even <em>I</em> want to slather myself in Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula. Yes, it smells <em>that</em> good. But there's more to it than that.

When I lived in Australia a few years back, this was THE cult product that all the beauty editors talked about. (No, I wasn't a beauty editor then, but I sure was obsessive about reading magazines.) Anyway, the reason it was a favourite (and still is, I'm guessing) is because it's instantly softening, improves the appearance of marks, scars and stretch marks, and soothes skin post-tanning (which... ahem... <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2009/06/30/suns-up-clinique-self-sun-collection/" target="_blank">you know you're not supposed to do, right</a>?). It's also great for smoothing cuticles, elbows and knees, and even leaving on your feet overnight to get rid of dryness and cracking. All of that and it's non-greasy, too.

Quite impressive for a moisturizer that's under $10, no?
