The Trouble with Avon Products

Tweet

I’m not sure if anyone else has noticed it but Avon’s lipbalms and chapsticks are horrible! I made the mistake of stocking up when winter hit and now I have 5 tubes of chapstick that make my lips more dry and chapped than they were before. I passed out a few to friends, and they all had the same reaction. No relief when using them. I’ve thrown out a few tubes, but I was thinking maybe it was just the winter and they weren’t strong enough, but even yesterday I tried some on, and now my lips are sahara-like and it’s all my Blistex can do to keep them moist enough that they don’t crack on me. I also bought some of their Christmas hand lotion in Silicone Glove and it made my skin break out in a rash on my inner arms. I DON’T have sensitive skin and have never had that reaction to a hand lotion EVER (and I’ve tried scented, unscented, cheap and expensive). I washed it and splashed it with cool water and it took the redness down, but even the next day my skin was parched. I put a little Body Shop Body Butter on it and it softened right up though. If any Avon reps read this, I would like to suggest you bring it up with Head Office because I think something is wrong with the testing on skin products.
