It's the end of the year and the cold dry weather is taking its toll on my skin...again! Luckily this year I am ready and not struggling as I did last year. It was a nightmare really - nothing could quench my thirsty face. Plus everything I tried either had a horrible perfume-y smell or had lots of anti-aging stuff thrown in that ended up irritating. Then my product-loving friend gave me this sample of
Atopalm, a thick, creamy, yet surprisingly not greasy (and NO SCENT) cream that can be used on the face or body. Talk about "saving face"! It's made specifically to replenish lipids in the skin but is ideal for super sensitive skin, including those with rosacea and eczema. This was a great discovery for me and I am still using it in winter (too heavy for other seasons). If you're interested, just google it because a lot of sites have free shipping.
Every winter my husband and I would get chapped lips and then our house and car and bags would be littered lip balms. I counted seven different ones on the night stand once. Then I did a wedding where the bride (Brenna, where are you girl?) and her mother were completely obsessed with
Blistex Lip Medex. They had them everwhere, including the bridal emergency kit, and could not stop touting its amazing qualities. They were so adamant that I buy it but now I can see why. I put a little on before bed as a preventative measure but if your lips are severely chapped, this will help give immediate relief. It has that cooling feel and a medicinal smell but it works. It may take two or three days depending on how chapped but stick with it.
If the skin on your body is super dry, even after using thick creams or body butters, it's time for
Aquaphor Healing Ointment. Like many makeup artists, I have a small one in my kit for various uses. I only recently realized that this would be perfect to put on my arms and legs and feet as a moisture treatment. It's so thick and heavy that you have to scoop it out. It feels like a thicker cleaner version of vaseline. You would think it would be unbearably greasy but it absorbs completely within minutes. It's almost magical! I'm still wondering how it's possible...
