I live in Toronto—Queen East in the Brewery Lofts. I design jewelry and accessories.

I have super dry skin, so I focus on hydrating and avoid cleansers that leave that...

That's a good feeling.

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.
