Glow for It!

Posted by ms.SkinDeep on
Ok I am back after a short absence. School before blogs! LOL.
I was contemplating my next blog topic and what's next but DRY SKIN!!!!! I have suffered from eczema since I was a baby and have experienced problems with dry skin. Dry skin is a loose, scientific term used to describe the rough, scaly and flaky skin that is dry to the touch and less elastic than normal skin. Adding moisture and keeping your body hydrated reduces the symptoms of dry skin, although some people have more severe cases than others.
If you suffer from dry skin, here are a few inexpensive products I have tried and would suggest: 1.) Johnson's Baby Oil Gel ($2.99, at drugstores)- baby oil locks in moisture and no need to replenish during the day
2.) Olay Quench ($8.00, at drugstores) - some complain that it leaves the skin feeling "sticky", but this has worked WONDERS for me. It also has shimmer in it for that extra "glow"
3.) Palmer's Cocoa Butter ($5.00) - I do not prefer the smell of Palmer's, but it is great for dry skin. This lotion provides added moisture that lasts all day.
4.) Yoghurt Body Butter by KorresNaturalProducts (originally $10, I found at TJMAXX for $5!!) - Despite the small 150ml size bottle, here a little goes a loooong way! It's just as the bottle says - "Extra Moisturizing Cream for Dry Skin Conditions".

Tip of the day: Just out of the shower, towel blot your skin dry and apply Baby Oil Gel all over. Afterwards, put on a pair of sweatpants, thick socks, and a long sleeve shirt for about 1 hour to lock in moisture!!
