Suave Skin Solutions Body Lotion Giveaway Contest

This is the time of the year - late winter - when my skin screams for help. My heels crack open, my hands are dry, my legs look like alligator skin. I am one dry mess. I'm always reaching for something to soothe my skin, and I suspect many of you are also drying out. That's why I was thrilled when Suave offered me the opportunity offer you a giveaway for Suave's newly formulated Skin Solutions Body Lotion and Skin Solutions Advanced Therapy.

The new and improved body lotions have a richer, thicker formula that lasts all day - or all night - to keep your skin hydrated. You could be red-carpet ready. During award season, the red carpet is a beauty battleground. Designer gowns, sky-high stilettos, and radiant skin are all essential to pulling together a winning look, but you don't have to be nominated to flaunt radiant skin. This year, rich skin care and style experiences are accessible to all women - thanks to Suave's Body Lotions. The brand is teaming up with celebrity fashion stylist and TV host George Kotsiopoulos to show women how easy it is to experience the richness of beautifully moisturized skin and great style, on the red carpet or off.

"As a celebrity stylist, I know that every detail, including having beautifully moisturized skin, is key to any look – and that celeb-worthy style doesn't have to be expensive," said Kotsiopoulos. "That's why I'm excited to team up with Suave. The Suave Skin Solutions Body Lotions collection includes new, richer formulas that make it easy to have beautifully moisturized skin all day long." Or all night long at the awards show.

Women everywhere can experience the richness with Suave Skin Solutions Body Lotions. The new silky-smooth formula glides on easily and absorbs quickly for skin that is soft, smoothed, and delightfully fragrant. Even the fragrance was improved to last longer, making you'll smell as good as you look and feel. Skin Solutions Body Lotions are dermatologist tested and provide silky 24-hour hydration. Key offerings in the Suave Skin Solutions line include Suave Skin Solutions Advanced Therapy Body Lotion, Suave Skin Solutions Smoothing Body Lotion with Cocoa Butter & Shea, and Suave Skin Solutions Soothing Body Lotion with Aloe.

"Suave believes that "rich" skin-care experiences should be accessible to all women, every day," said Alison Clark, Brand Building Director at Unilever. "As awards season kicks, off, we are thrilled to team up with George Kotsiopoulos to show women everywhere how to achieve the ultimate accessory for any style trend: beautiful, glowing skin."

Advanced Therapy Body Lotion is enhanced with essential vitamins and glycerin to heal and relieve severely dry skin. Despite its heavy-duty power, it absorbs quickly.

Skin Solutions Smoothing Body Lotion with Cocoa Butter & Shea is enriched with a mix of nutrients, which are known to enhance the moisture levels and texture of multiple layers of the skin.

Skin Solutions Smoothing Body Lotion with Aloe also has cucumber in the ingredients. It feels light on your skin, but instantly revives it with a look of freshness and a fresh scent. All three lotions will increase your skin's hydration levels by 100%. Plus, they are clinically proven to last 24 hours. Depending on the size you purchase, these wonderful body lotions range in retail price from about $3 to $5. They provide a nice return on a small investment.

We will have four winners of this contest! The grand prize winner will receive all three lotions shown above. Each of three more winners will receive one of these lotions. Pretty nice, huh?

How can you enter to win this giveaway contest (technically a sweepstakes)?  Just leave a comment on this feature (not in another BTiB post) explaining why you'd like to win. After you comment here, feel free to send me an e-mail at bestthingsinbeautycontests@gmail.com (the contest address, not my "personal" e-mail) and identify your comment. You can never be too careful about sharing an e-mail address you care about on a blog, so feel free to follow this step (an alternative is to code your e-mail, e.g., myname at gmail dot com, in your comment). Please make sure I have your e-mail. If I can't notify you, you can't win - even if your number is drawn. I can't believe the number of winners I haven't been able to find in the past.

You can earn extra entries. Follow this blog (through an e-mail subscription, GFC, or though one of the many Google readers - see sidebar at right) to earn a second entry. If you are a follower, it would help me tally entries if you tell me in your comment how you follow. You don't have to follow to enter. I want everyone to have a chance, but I also want to reward my followers. I must be able to track this entry.

You can earn a third entry by tweeting this contest. You must include "@BTiBeauty" (without the quotes) and Suave Skin Solutions in your tweet. I will tweet the contest this afternoon, and you can simply retweet it to earn that second entry - if that's easier.

Even though I can't count these, I'd love for you to "like" Suave's Facebook page. There is a sweepstakes there too - involving cash!

The deadline for entries will be Saturday, February 9, 2013, at midnight. The next morning, I will use a random number generator (random.org) to select the winners. I will e-mail each winner on Sunday morning. Each winner will have 48 hours to reply to my message and provide a shipping address. After 48 hours, the prize will be forfeited, and another winner will be selected. Make sure to check your e-mail - and look in your spam folder - when the contest ends.

This contest is open to residents of the United States. Here are the terms. Suave will ship the prizes. The winners must be able to provide me with a "mailable address," meaning the U.S. Post Office recognizes it as a good address.

For all the legalese related to this contest, please see the Contests/Sweepstakes page at the top of the blog. Good luck!
