Help for dry winter skin

Every fall and winter, as the weather gets colder, my skin gets drier.
It seems the older more mature I get, the worse the problem.

I'm so excited to have found help for my dry skin this year!
Believe it or not, I didn't find this idea on the internet.
I found it in my own little noggin!

Now I'm sure someone else has already thought of this but they didn't tell me about it!

Here's my cute little partner in my fight against dry winter skin.

 

This chubby little fellow that used to dispense the sweet honey for my morning oatmeal is now filled with vegetable oil.

He sits on my shower shelf waiting to help moisturize my dry skin during my nightly shower.

 

After washing my face with a washcloth and just plain water, I sqeeze a little of the oil onto my washcloth and rub over the rest of my body just like I would when using soap.

That's right - no soap used!

 

I get out of the shower feeling so clean and moisturized.

I just pat dry

and say,

 

Goodbye Alligator skin!

 

 

I need to insert a word of caution here:

 

Be careful of a slippery shower floor if you try this!

 

Another help for dry skin (that I did find on the internet) is dry-brushing my skin before showering.

You can find lots of instructions when Googling this.

I bought a natural bristle brush something like this one found at Drugstore(dot)com.

 

 

I got mine from my local Walmart for $4.00.

 

I think using the brush before taking the moisturizing shower helps but I have to admit I don't use my brush nightly.

Why?

For one reason, I forget about it until I get out of the shower.

But the main reason is because by the time I take my shower, I'm usually too lazy tired.

I just want to get my shower, wrap up in my fuzzy housecoat, and snuggle in for the night.

 

There you have it, my cure for dry winter skin.

It's working so well for me that I just had to share it with my friends.

Please let me know if you try it.

I'd love to hear if it works for you.

 

I hope you have a great day!
