Would love to win this! My winter care tip is to moisturize, moisturize, and moisturize!
GOAT MILK SOAP!!! AND PLENT OF LOTION!!!
Being from the north, I know how the cold impacts my skin. Dry skin is the worst! At night, if my skin is particularly dry in certain areas, then I apply something along the lines of Vaseline or Aquaphor because they provide extreme moisture. Also, you can use these products on your hands or lips when they are feeling dry aswell!
My best winter skin tip is I hydrate my body in two steps. First I use an inshower body lotion which I apply in the shower and rinze off. Then I use a regular body lotion when I get out of the shower. My skin stays soft and smooth all day. I do the same with my face. In winter, even though I have oily skin, I use Garniers Moisture Rescue Gel Cream moisturizer and then layer a tinted moisturizer over it. No flakes for me!
I am constantly mosturizing, I have found that after I exfoliate, and then appy lotion it definately stays on longer and works great!!!!!!!!!!
For the winter I usually exfoliate to remove all dullness and then I follow up with a good moisturizer right after, it gives my skin a soft supple glow. Water is also a must to keep yourself from looking dehydrated..: )
I use a heavier moisturizer for my dry skin and give myself avocado facials to keep my skin moist, it really works!
My best advice for helping your skin survive the winter is to keep moisturized. I use a moisturizer year round, but it is definitely important in the winter as well as summer. At night I put lotion on my feet and cover them with socks to keep my feet warm and silky soft. Lip balm is essential to prevent chapped lips in the harsh cold and wind.
As soon as I exit the shower I immediately put baby oil on. I then towel dry and the excess baby oil wipes off. Soft, smooth silky skin.
I'm here to tell you about the BEST dry skin lotion ever....Curel!! I know what you are thinking! Curel?
In 2003 I was in a car accident that left awful scars all over my body and legs.. The scars on my upper body are pretty easy to hide, but the ones on my legs are not. Both of my knees and ankles were broken, which left me with two eight inch scars, one down each knee. There are others that are smaller, here and there.
For the first couple of years, i didn't know what i was going to do. I was healed, but what remained was awful. What was even more awful was the price of scar treatment cream. I gave up for a while. Then, a couple of winters ago, my hands were getting so dry, they were cracking, and really starting to hurt as well. I bought some CUREL, Ultra Healing Lotion for Extra Dry Skin. Two days later,my hands felt like silk, no more cracks, nothing but but smoothness.
It didn't take long for the obvious. After a week, CUREL had done it's job again. Two years later, i still use my Curel everyday. My scars are still visable, they will always be. But, when i touch my legs to rub on my lotion, I don't FEEL my scars anymore. Still, today, it's hard for me to believe that something non-presciption or extremely expesive could help and do as much as my $3.50 bottle of lotion.
