some people are born fashionistas, the rest of us just need a little help
It’s been super cold lately (even in those places where cold is anything below 50 degrees) and I had a thought about something that is a part of my daily routine. I realized that it’s a low cost way for ladies (and guys) to stave off those dry skin blues when the weather gets cold.
This is something I do year round because I have dry, sensitive skin. I suffer from all sorts of lovely dry skin conditions, even when it’s warm outside so moisture is something I always have to keep in mind.
When I finish my shower, before I dry off, I put baby oil on my skin. Then I pat my skin dry. After my skin is dry, I put on body lotion.
This one small thing helps to keep my skin moist and soft year round. You don’t have to put on a whole lot of baby oil for it to make a difference. For some reason, putting it on while your skin is still damp allows the oil to seep in more thoroughly than if you do it while your skin is dry.
In the winter time, when the temperatures outside drop and the temperatures inside go up due to the heat being on, I may switch to baby oil gel. The thicker formula helps. Either way, the baby oil keeps my skin soft and cuts down on the dryness.
One thing I’ve learned is that fashion is about more than just wearing the right clothes, makeup and accessories. If your outfit is fly but your skin is flaky, that’s just not fabulous.
I hope my little tip helps.
