Winter Beauty Survival Guide: Skin Care

Posted by Alexandra C. | Tuesday November 13, 2012

As soon as the cold wind makes it's first appearance of the season, my skin immediately reacts with a 'We're not ready for this, not yet! It's too early!'. Within minutes, my hands do a wonderful impression of lizard skin. And while snakeskin can be totally great in a pair of skinny jeans, scaliness is not trending this year in beauty.

(my friend swears by putting regular vaseline on her lips, but i haaate the feeling of it, grosses me out! but it did work quite well so was hoping this one specially designed for lips is thicker or something)

Nothing helped me until I found this. I don't have any other favorite moisturizers for the rest of my skin. I use pretty much anything I happen to have on hand for the rest of my skin, other then my face of course.

I have been using Simple moisturizer for my face during the day, and Biore overnight cream at night. Also after I take a shower I use Organix Moroccan Argan body oil to seal in moisture for my skin. I also get really dry feet, so I use Vaseline at night (under my fuzzy socks) to keep my feet soft.
