I certainly have spent A LOT of time over the years trying to get my skin at its best before a 'hot date' (and I still have those with Chris! ). But, I must admit, I never thought to use a non-acidic cream for the benefit of the guy. I need my AHA creams to keep my skin at it's best. So, I just continued to slather on my usual creams.

What I would do is spend some extra time picking out perfume, though. I really like body sprays...Chanel does one that's my favorite. Goes on lighter than perfume, has a slightly oily consistency to it so it actually adds to the moisture in my skin, and is easy to spread around my whole bod.

I never had any of my boyfriends complain about the smell or taste of my AHA creams. I just asked Chris about it point blank, and he says it's never bothered him. And we've certainly had our share of 'intimate moments' when I'm straight out of the shower and freshly creamed, so the cream on my skin would be at its stinkiest and strongest.

Don't think that's at all what you expected to hear, and not sure you'll consider that very helpful, but FWIW that's been my experience.

(I've done some 'taste tests' myself though, and it does seem like it would be a turn off. Maybe the goofy guys are just so worked up, they don't notice But I've never had one complain, and I've never gone out of my way to spare the AHAs)

Okay Ladies,

I haveta throw this one out there. Some of the lotions we use are kinda strong smelling and do not taste too good. So what do you do before heading out on that special date or romantic evening?? I usually shower and switch to a non-acidic cream like eucerin. This sometimes causes my skin to get imbalanced. If I am using the eucerin more often than usual, then my skin starts getting scaly again. Eucerin is hypoallergenic and very mild and does not have any odor to it. Does anyone else have any suggestion? I figured you married and attached ladies can really help me out on this one. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated

I am currently using liquid parraffin/glycerine and when we used to kiss, he would get very oily, my mum once asked what Ben puts on his face! I quickly said, "maybe he uses lip balm" teeheheh! Also, he is a fan of heavy metal music, and consequently wore a black tshirt almost every day. I couldnt hug him without it being obvious!

He did not seem to mind that much, he had quite a good time giving me massages with my ointment though, but it did not do too much for his clothes.
