If you’ve been keeping up with my delightful columns on Yours. Mine. Ours, then you know just how much lotioning means to me. Yes, “lotioning” – it’s not just a noun for us, it’s a verb! And I’m sure we’re not the only ones who are devoted to taking care of our skin in a thoughtful way. So, let me take a moment to share my personal body-care routine. I’ve spent years mastering the art of skin care, and I’ve got some absolute gems to share with you.
As a beauty editor, I’m constantly bombarded with products. It’s like receiving blessings from above! But truth be told, there are only a handful of brands that truly capture my heart, and Vaseline is one of them. The Original Healing Jelly is legendary, and their entire range of body-care products is simply chef’s kiss. And just when I thought Vaseline couldn’t get any cooler, they launched Radiant X – a collection specifically designed for melanated skin. How do I describe this brand-spankin’-new line? Beyond fabulous!
Before I gush about why it’s so remarkable, let’s take a moment to appreciate how Vaseline has always shown love for melanin-rich skin. So you can imagine my excitement when they introduced Radiant X. While all their products have always felt like they were made just for us, this new line truly puts our specific needs front and center. It’s one of the best moves Vaseline has ever made!

Now, when I go through my glorious body-care routine, I make sure to savor every moment. As a busy mom, I rarely get more than 10 minutes to myself each day, so these moments are absolutely precious. And as I apply these divine products, I like to set the mood with my “You Got This, Girl” playlist – a blend of inspirational R&B and ratchet trap music – or by tuning into an empowering podcast. It’s all about setting myself up for a day that’s magically moisturized!
Step 1: After a refreshing shower, while my skin is still damp, I indulge in the Vaseline Radiant X Even Tone Nourishing Body Lotion. Think of it as a serum for your body, with its impressive 1 percent niacinamide content that helps fade hyperpigmentation and even out skin tone.

Step 2: Allowing the lotion to work its magic for about five minutes, I then lavish my skin with the heavenly Deep Nourishment Body Cream from Radiant X. This 100 percent pure shea-butter formulation is so rich and creamy, it’s like indulging in a luxurious dessert. And, guess what? It also contains coconut oil, peptides, and vitamin C for an extra burst of goodness!
Step 3: Now, hold onto your seats because we’ve arrived at my favorite step in this whole process. I am absolutely obsessed with face and body oils, and the Replenishing Hydrating Body Oil from Radiant X has completely stolen my heart. It’s the perfect final touch to lock in all that delightful moisture from the lotion and cream, leaving my skin feeling soft and supple all day long. And the best part? It absorbs quickly, so you can get dressed without worrying about ruining your fabulous outfit.
Step 4: To wrap up this magnificent routine, I pamper my hands with a tiny amount of the Deep Nourishment Hand Butter from Radiant X. It goes without saying that I now always keep a tube of this magical potion in my purse for on-the-go hydration, especially when I’m jet-setting around.
