Tropical Traditions Peppermint Moisturizing Lotion Review and Giveaway!

Tropical Traditions sent me Organic Peppermint Lotion to review and giveaway.


I have to say that Isaak and I get pretty dry skin during this time of year. We both have Keratosis Pilaris (KP) is a very common skin condition often referred to as "chicken skin". It is resembles goosebumps, it is characterized by the appearance of small, rough bumps on the skin. We just have it on the back of our upper arms and top part of our legs. It's pretty common. I didn't realize that 1/2 our population has Keratosis Pilaris. I'm sure some have Keratosis Pilaris, and are not familiar with the name.

I love this lotion because: 
  • It's free of harmful chemicals
  • Fits in my purse or carry on bag
  • Can be used for boy or girl
  • Smells good
  • It is a thicker lotion

    No, I do not have Keratosis Pilaris, nor had I ever heard of it before this. Sounds rather unpleasant.
