This dry fall weather is already showing up on my skin. You know, the tell-tale signs of sandpaper fingers and dry (very, very dry) legs. So I'm beefing up my moisturizing! Here are a couple of things that have really helped me, as well as sticking to a night-time routine. Just a hint, if you click on the images or links it will take you to where you can buy it, or see more information on the product.
My favorite
face oil has recently come from
Everyday Minerals. I am loving this oil, which doesn't stay greasy on my face, and has the same healing effects as the
Flexitol, but without the fragrance. I've used this in the morning by itself, spot treatment on top of my
Daily Moisturizer
, and as a night time moisturizer. Let's remember people, more oil balance in your skin means less wrinkles. As my skin dries out with age, I'm realizing that trying to stop the oily days of my 20s was detrimental to my skin.
Sometimes when I don't have time to wash my face (or I'm traveling), I use a Burt's Bees combo that I love. The
Facial Cleansing Towelettes
smell nice and fresh, my skin feels cool and a bit tingly for a bit, then I moisturize with the
Night Cream
. My face feels so nice the next morning!
Hype or no hype, the fact is that coconut oil is... an oil. It IS from nature, and this organic extra virgin version is free of chemicals and added nonsense. It's
edible. It's topical. I use this instead of body lotion, as well as spot treatment for dry areas on my face. The tough part is when the room is cold and the coconut oil is a solid, so I have to scrape up bits to warm in my hand from wayyy at the bottom of the container. Time for a new container!
Ooh, did I mention that this is one of my subscribe and save items on amazon? It comes in a 2-pack and I instantly have one for the kitchen, and one for the bathroom!
Last, but certainly not least... The amazing-phenomenal-breath of fresh air-hand salve to save the day! I carry this in my purse and use it on my hands, elbows, legs, feet, neck, ears, yada yada yada. I LOVE THIS STUFF.
