Beauty Fix - Beat Dry Skin to the Punch - Low Priced Lotions
Ok,Winter sneaks up on me every year and I can never prepare properly for “dry skin season” and therefore end up with skin like the crypt keeper. Not this winter! Luckily after years of thinking there’s nothing I can do about it, I did something about it. I did a little digging and a little testing and found the cure! Dry skin chaps and itches like the dickens but when pre-treated with a healthy moisturizing regime, it’s toast. The best way to combat old man winter is to prep your skin now, while fall is still upon us. Your skin has to get acclimated to a steady regimen of light moisturizing, notice I said “light” anything too heavy or greasy will just break you out. The key is to find a light moisturizer can improve the elasticity of your skin. My pick?
Neutrogena Illuminating Whip SPF 20
For those of you who get really bad wind burn, or are prone to frost bite, be sure and stock up early on Neutrogena Skin Aid. This product works wonders to heal already cracked, chapped, sunburned or windburned skin.This is what I call a wonder product! It’s multi-purpose and even if you don’t have overly chapped skin, it’s a great moisturizer.
Aside from proper moisturizing be sure to (don’t hate me!) take showers less frequently. I know we can’t help it, but too much soaping up in the winter can only make skin more prone to drying out. If you can’t stay away from the shower try this trick, wash you armpit and nether regions only and apply a moisturizer prior to showering to help retain moisture. With these tips you’ll be the silkiest woman around wandering amongst a sea of chapped ladies. So say it with me gals “I will moisturize” It’s the best way to get your skin prepared for the harsh drying winter that’s sure to come your way. The best offense is a good defense, and this winter you’ll be armed and ready!!

Forget all the lotions and expensive cremes out there! The first thing you need to do is hydrate in the inside! Your low on essential fatty acids that keep skin most from the inside!
Next, go to the grocery store! Yes, I said grocery store! Pick up a big bottle of Safflower oil, about 3-4 bucks,will last a long time. Use it the same way you would baby oil. When you get out of the shower, simply apply to damp skin and blot dry with an old towel( safflower will color the towel a light yellow) Thats it! Safflower oil is not only a great skin moisturizer it is chock full of vitamin E. It will not only smooth that dry skin, it will improve the look and texture of your skin! No petroleum, no chemicals, just goo old Mother Nature at her best! I use it all the time and NO, you won’t smell lke a salad.
