Winter Skincare Series: Major Moisturizing Round Up
My skin is actually as dry as a bad fruitcake. Blargh! It's like a desert on my face. Pretty soon, you'll start seeing cracks from lack of water. Winter just does me in. As soon as the wind starts to blow, it's like my body senses it and immediately dries up like a cracker.
What do I use to solve my dry issues? A mixture of everday essential creams, a moisturizing serum and mask and I always have a super emollient emergency fix salve or balm on hand for quick dry patches that may develop.

I’m definitely going to look into trying some of these out. My skin gets so dry in the winter! It’s hard to find the perfect seasonal skincare routine.. | |
I smear my feet with petroleum jelly and cover with a pair of old socks overnight, this really helps heal dry cracked feet. | |
I just got Imperialis lotion from Lush. I love it, it smells great and you only need to use a tiny bit to moisturize your whole face, which totally makes up for the price. Plus it's great for combination skin like mine. | |
ROC face cream and hope in a jar:) | |
I love using the Vichy Aqualia Thermal Serum!! Works wonderful! Thanks for these ideas, I'm going to try out some of these | |
Thanks for these tips, I am headed to the drugstore after work, my face is a dry mess! | |
