Community Story: Fighting Dry Skin with Turmeric Citrus Grove

Meet Carlos — 26 | Amateur Boxer | San Diego, CA

As an amateur boxer training 6 days a week, Carlos is no stranger to pushing his body. But while he could handle the bruises and blisters, the dry, cracked skin on his arms and chest was something he never expected to deal with at 26.

“I thought it was just the gym air and all the showers,” Carlos says. “But even when I wasn’t training, my skin felt like sandpaper.”

He tried cheap lotions from big box stores — and even a few “men’s” brands that promised rugged hydration — but nothing seemed to soak in or last past the hour.

So he started reading up on natural remedies. That’s how he stumbled to Motor City Organics.

“I wasn’t looking for some influencer product,” he explains. “I just wanted something that actually had good ingredients and didn’t disappear after five minutes.”

Within a few days of using it post-shower, Carlos noticed real improvement.

“It’s not greasy, but it gives my skin this healthy glow — like it’s actually moisturized, not masked.”

He admits the price was a little more than the drugstore brands he was used to — but now he says he’d never go back.

“The cheap stuff just felt cheap. It wasn’t doing anything. This is the first one that felt like it respected my body the same way I try to.”
